Abstract: A breath alcohol measurement device has a sample collector (1) with a sample inlet (2) configured for a contactless introduction of a breath sample. A measurement unit (9) has a sensor (16) that generates a measurement signal based on an alcohol content in the breath sample. A control and evaluation unit (4) determines the alcohol content based on the measurement signal and transmits a result-specific signal to an output unit (5). Some of the breath sample provided into the sample inlet (2) is applied, at least intermittently via a main flow duct (10), to the sensor (16) via a measurement gas duct (21) that is connected via an outlet to the environment (7). Between the sample inlet (2) and the outlet of the main flow duct there is a further outflow opening (6) through which some of the breath sample introduced into the sample inlet exits into the environment.

Abstract: A gas routing element (20) for gassing at least one gas-measuring device (90.1-90.x), whereby each gas-measuring device (90.x-90.x) can be arranged in a test module (30.1-30.x) of a calibrating station (100). The gas-measuring devices (90.1-90.x) have a first gas inlet opening (1.1-1.x), a communicating feed duct (2.1-2.x) and a communicating first gas outlet openings (3.1-3.x, 13.1-13.x). Second gas inlet openings (4.1-4.x, 14.1-14.x) are connected to a communicating recirculating duct (5.1-5.x) and a second gas outlet opening (6.1-6.x) is connected with the recirculating duct (5.1-5.x) in a gas-communicating manner. A fastening device (70) fastens the gas routing element (20) to the calibrating station (100) or to a test module (30.1-30.x) of the calibrating station (100). A calibrating station (100) is also provided for the gas-measuring devices (90.1-90.x) with such a gas routing element (20).

Abstract: A test station for a plurality of test gases, includes a main unit (10) with a control (12) and test modules (20), each for a gas measurement device, that exchange data to register a type of gas measurement device and test gas(es) required for the device type. The control sets a schedule for a test using a test gas, or for a plurality of successive tests each with different test gases and carries out the specific test planned according to the schedule, in parallel with tests for all of the test modules for a test gas and determines, as an additional gas measurement device is inserted, based on the particular device type of the additional gas measurement device, whether the currently-running test with the current test gas is suitable for the inserted test module; and if the test gas is suitable, to start the test for this test module.

Abstract: A gas application device (2) for gas measuring apparatuses (5) has a test chamber device (58) for providing a test gas. A predetermined positive pressure is applied in the line system that connects the test chamber device (58) to one or more test-gas containers (PG) such that a constant test-gas supply (flow) to the test chamber device (58) can be ensured. A method for testing gas measuring apparatuses (5), and a calibration measuring apparatus for testing and calibrating gas measuring apparatuses (5) are also provided.
