www.Lifeloc.com | 303-431-9500
Preparation
Lifeloc FC20BT
Observing the Subject
The FC20BT provides a highly accurate reading of breath alcohol acquired by sampling deep lung air. Readings will also detect residual mouth alcohol.
To prevent mouth alcohol from affecting a test, make certain that the subject is not allowed to put anything in their mouth for 15 minutes prior to taking a test.
If the subject just took a drink, a 15 minute observation period in which they are not permitted to put anything in their mouth should be observed before testing. This will ensure all residual alcohol from any source has completely dissipated and test results will be valid.
Attaching a Mouthpiece
9
Remove the mouthpiece from its wrapper, making sure not to touch the end which the subject will be blowing into.
Attach the mouthpiece to the port on the back of the FC20BT.
Line up the mouthpiece port over the holes in the back of the mouthpiece. Press in place.
Ensure it is securely attached.

Breath Testing Modes
Lifeloc FC20BT
Breath Testing Modes Explained
The FC20BT is capable of conducting Automatic, Manual, and Passive tests.
•
Automatic Test is the easiest way to achieve a deep lung sample. The FC monitors the
subject’s breath and automatically takes the sample near the end of the breath flow.
•
Manual Test is normally used only when the subject is unable to provide a sufficient
breath sample for the automatic test.
•
Passive Test is a quick screen to detect alcohol but is not designed to quantify the
results. Passive results are reported as “POS” if alcohol is detected, “NEG” if alcohol is not detected. In this mode, no mouthpiece is use.
End of Breath and Precise Volume Explained
In Auto Test mode, the unit can be set to take a sample either:
10
•
•
Both will give accurate results. Precise Volume may work better with uncooperative subjects.
(To select “END OF BREATH” or “PRECISE VOLUME” mode, see Trigger Mode instructions on p.18)
When the subject nears the end of the exhalation (End of Breath)
— or —
When it detects 1.5L of breath (Precise Volume)
Auto Air Blank Explained (Optional)
If installed, this option inserts an automatic air blank function in front of Auto, Manual, and Passive tests.
An automatic air blank is a test of the ambient air. It checks to ensure that no alcohol is present, which could affect the test result.
If Auto Air Blank is enabled, the FC20BT will prompt you to take a sample before testing the subject.
Auto Air Blank is normally utilized to satisfy the requirements of a specific testing protocol.
www.Lifeloc.com | 303-431-9500
Lifeloc FC20BT
Conducting an Automatic Test
Turn the FC20BT on.
Verify the display reads “AUTO TEST”.
Attach the mouthpiece to the back of the unit.
Instruct the subject to blow into the mouthpiece firmly and steadily for as long as they can. (But not necessarily as hard as they can.) The unit calculates volume and will give an error message if the subject cannot reach 1.3 liters of breath.
Read the result.
After taking a test, the FC20BT will display the results in large numbers on the display.
Breath Testing Modes
11
The result is stored in memory and available for viewing and printing at a later date.
Momentarily press the Power button to return to the test mode.
Manual Override during an Automatic Test
Note: This feature allows the completion of a test in the occasional instance when the
subject may have diminished lung capacity and cannot activate the Auto Test.
Turn the FC20BT on.
Attach a mouthpiece to the back of the unit and verify the display reads “AUTO TEST”.
Instruct the subject to blow into the mouthpiece firmly and steadily for as long as they can.
When they are near the end of their breath, press the Execute button.
Read the result.

Lifeloc FC20BT
Conducting a Manual Test
Turn the FC20BT on.
Attach the mouthpiece to the back of the unit.
Press the Function button until the display reads “MANUAL TEST”.
Instruct subject to blow into the mouthpiece
firmly and steadily for as long as they can.
When they are near the end of their breath, press the Execute button.
Read the result.
Please note, manual test mode is pressure activated. If the subject does not blow air into the mouthpiece, the test cannot be conducted.
Breath Testing Modes
12
Conducting a Passive Test (No Mouthpiece)
Turn the FC20BT on.
Press the Function button, if necessary, until the display reads “PASSIVE TEST.”

Have the subject blow toward the port.
Press the Execute button while the subject is blowing.
Read the result. The unit will only display “POS” or “NEG”. It will not display the actual numerical result.
Note: A passive test can also be done over an open container to detect the presence of alcohol.

Lifeloc FC20BT
Calibration Explained
You can calibrate and check your FC20BT using either the wet bath or dry gas method. You must first set your FC20BT to recognize which method or which ‘Standard Type’ you will be using.
Once you choose the Standard Type, the FC20BT will store that information in memory and you do not have to set it again unless you change to a different method of performing a calibration/calibration check.
Dry Gas Calibration requires that, prior to calibration, you enter the Corrected Standard Value based on your altitude or elevation. Using the chart on the outside of the canister, multiply the number next to your elevation by the standard. Please note, if you have purchased the Baro Sensor option for your FC20, you do not need to adjust for altitude or elevation. The Baro Sensor will make the adjustment for you.
Example:
• Denver, Colorado’s elevation is 5200 ft. above sea level and dry gas standard = .100 BAC.
• Correction factor from tank is .820
• Corrected Standard = .100 x .820 = .082
If you move to a significantly different altitude before calibrating, you will have to change the standard in the FC20BT .
Wet Bath Calibration does not require altitude correction.
Note: The FC20BT comes from the factory set for Wet Bath type and .100 BAC
Calibration Standard.
Selecting the Calibration Standard
Press the Function button until the display reads “CALIBRATION”.
Press the Execute button. The display reads either “WET CHECK” or “DRY CHECK”.
Press the Function button until the display reads “CAL SETTINGS”.
Press the Execute button. The display reads “CAL STANDARD”.
Use the + or – button to change the number to the BAC level of standard you will be calibrating to. It should be the same as on the bottle of certified solution or as your

altitude corrected standard, if using a dry gas tank. (See p. 25)
Press the Function button to save the settings. Momentarily press Power to return to the testing mode.
Once you set the standard, you do not have to set it again unless you change solutions or elevation (dry gas only).
Calibration/Cal Check Explained
Calibration of an FC sets your unit to a known alcohol concentration to enable accurate
BAC (Breath Alcohol Concentration) results.
You can use dry gas or wet bath solution to calibrate your FC20BT. Most commonly used solutions are .100, .080 or .040 BAC.
The FC20BT must be between 68° and 95° F (20° - 35° C) to calibrate.
Lifeloc recommends you calibrate your FC20BT:
Once every 12 months, regardless of how many tests you have performed
Or, at intervals specified by your Internal Policies, Quality Assurance Plan, or State
Regulations
Or, after one failed Calibration Checks
A Calibration Check simply verifies the FC20BT was calibrated correctly and is within the
acceptable accuracy range. Calibration check is also referred to as “External Calibration Check,” “Accuracy Check,” “Verification” and “Cal Check.”
Lifeloc recommends you perform a calibration check on your FC20BT:
Once every 30 days
Or, at intervals specified by your Internal Policies, Quality Assurance Plan, or
State Regulations

Calibration/Cal Check Lock-out Explained
The calibration/cal check lock-out allows you to prevent usage of your FC20BT if it is not calibrated or cal checked in a specified time period. Time can be registered as days or number of tests.
Beginning 48 hours before the specified lock-out time, the unit will display “WARNING CAL EXPIRING”, “WARNING CHECK EXPIRING” or both.
When the time period has elapsed, the unit will display “CAL EXPIRED”, “CHECK EXPIRED” or both and not allow testing until it is calibrated and/or cal checked.
You can specify time periods up to 999 days or 65,535 tests between calibrations or cal checks. You can also disable the calibration/cal check lock-out feature. (See below)

Fuel Cells
Fuel cells are highly durable sensors that are capable of providing accurate breath alcohol results for years. There are, however, a few precautions you should take to make certain that these devices perform for the longest period of time possible.
Use the device. Fuel cells like moisture, so it is a good idea to take tests periodically to provide needed moisture to the fuel cell, especially in dry climates. You do not need alcohol, just breath.
Avoid cigarette smoke! Make certain no one is permitted to blow cigarette smoke into the unit. This can damage or destroy the fuel cell.
Cleaning
Use of a mild disinfectant cleaner and a soft cloth on the outside of the case is recommended periodically to keep your unit clean. Do not use alcohol to clean the unit.
