13. Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Q: 

Can I leave my car running while it warms up on a cold Morning, or while I run into the convenience store? 

A: 

NO. Once a vehicle has been started, the 

Determinator 

will randomly prompt the user for a sample. 

If the user is not available, this will be treated as a failure to provide a random retest and an early lockout will occur 

 

Q: 

The 

Determinator 

requires a long time to heat up and request a sample. Can this time be decreased? 

A: 

The 

Determinator 

must warm up to operating temperature. In cold climates, warm up time can be improved by 

disconnecting the unit from the cord and bringing the unit indoors or keeping it in a pocket, when not in use 

 

Q: 

“My battery died” or “I replaced my battery”. Why did I get an early lockout? 

A: 

The State of Kansas requires the 

Determinator 

record an event at the loss of battery power. These events will 

eventually lead to an early LOCK DUE message. A vehicle must be in good operating condition when the device is installed. A 
user must contact Alcohol Detection Systems prior to the loss of power whenever possible or as soon as possible after it occurs, 
the state of Kansas may send you a request for explanation, on this type of event, whenever possible obtain documentation on a power 
interruption for your own protection. 

 

Q: 

A sample was rejected for “Pressure not stable”. 

A: 

Do not provide a sample until requested. If a user blows into the unit or even breathes lightly into the unit before it is 

ready this error can occur. Please wait until prompted and retry the sample. 

Q: 

A sample was Invalid due to “Sample Temp”.
