The Guth Fuel Cell is a high quality, electrochemical device that
generates a voltage across the output electrodes when an ethanol gas sample
is introduced into the cell.
Consider only Guth Fuel Cells as an original or replacement component
in your hand carried and/or evidential alcohol breath analyzers.
Linear operating temp. range: +10C to +40C
Storage temp.range: -5C to +55C
Operating life: 1 year min.
Peak output voltage 3.8mV
Time to peak 16 sec
Time to clear<5% of peak (2*) 120 sec
Cell drop (3*) 3%
Ethanol standard 100 mg%
Sample volume 1.20 ml
Load resistance (1*) 390 ohms
(1*) Increasing the load resistance extends the clearing time of the fuel cell and the time to peak.
(2*) To achieve optimum performance, the fuel cell is shunted at all times except during the ethanol gas sampling period
(3*) Indicates percentage drop in output after ten 100mg% tests are conducted every two minutes.
