INTRODUCTION
The Guth Model 2100 Alcohol Breath Simulator is a State-of-the-Art, electronically temperature
controlled, water-alcohol instrument for the purpose of providing a precise calibration standard.
Temperature of the water-alcohol solution placed in the simulator is maintained at 34oC + .05oC
or better.
The Guth Model 2100 Simulator is approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), published on their Conforming Products List (CPL), and is listed with
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), as meeting United States Safety Standards and Canadian
Safety Standards (CUL).
