Alcolizer has been making breath testing devices for many years now and Alcolizer HH1 and HH2 devices, although still robust, are nearing end of life. New parts are no longer manufactured or readily available and many of these devices are over 10 years old. The Alcolizer HH1 and Alcolizer HH2 devices will not be able to meet the requirements of AS3547:2019 and the unit of measure is unable to be changed to grams/210L of breath.

Alcolizer HH1 and HH2 devices will no longer be accepted for calibration and service as of 1st January 2021.

Alcolizer LE5 HH4 and HH3 devices offer significant operational and feature benefits over the HH1 and HH2 a will assist in faster, more accurate and more efficient alcohol testing in you workplace.
