The instructions listed below are for use with most AlcoMonitor CC instruments.
If your instrument does not work accordingly, contact Intoximeters Customer Support for more information.
Test Memory
All test data is stored in the AMCC memory and is retrievable. There are a number of reports
that can be generated from the memory: last test can be retrieved easily, a calibration
review can be accessed and the entire database can be uploaded to a computer.
The only maintenance that the memory requires is when it is full. The instrument will disable
itself and display MEMORY FULL! This display will remain until the data in memory is erased. If it is
important that the user maintain a record of all test data performed on the instrument, prior to
erasing the memory, there are two available options:
The first option is to upload the stored data to a PC using Intoximeters customized program
for the AlcoMonitor CC. IntoxNet is a Windows-based database and communications
application designed to support the field use of Intoximeters AMCC. Contact Intoximeters
Customer Support for more information.
The second option is to send the AMCC to Intoximeters Technical Department for
downloading of stored test data. The unit should be sent in with a completed Return
Authorization which authorizes Intoximeters
to download the data. The unit will be returned with the data stored on a floppy disk. Charge
for this service is $35.00 plus return freight.
If maintaining and storing the data is not essential, the operator may erase the information
without performing the upload. The following are instructions for erasing the data stored on
your AMCC instrument.

Erasing AMCC Memory These step by step instructions are for
Erasing Memory without first uploading the stored data to a computer using IntoxNet.
The erase option
can be performed upon command or only when the instrument requires a memory erase indicated by MEMORY FULL displayed.
CAUTION: Once an erase has been initiated all data in memory will be
irretrievable.

Turn the AMCC on and allow it to come up to temperature. Access the Maintenance
procedures by depressing the MENU button when the instrument is in the ready mode
(DATE/TIME displayed). Before the menu pages display the operator must enter a PIN
(Personal Identification Number). The PIN is a security feature that limits access to the
maintenance menus. A trained supervisor should have this number and know how to
generate a valid PIN. Once this number is properly entered the operator can scroll through
the menu screens and execute any option. Paging through the several pages of options can
be done by continuing to depress the MENU button. To execute one of the options, depress
the corresponding number button while that option is displayed. (To exit the menu mode and
return to the ready mode, depress the ENTER button).
