OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Beyley, J., September 27, 2001 :--
Petitioner, Scott L. Lackman, Jr., filed this appeal from an order of Respondent,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation, suspending his
operator's license for one year for failure to complete a test of his breath following his
arrest for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. A hearing was
conducted on September 24, 2001. We find the following facts.
On May 25, 2001, Trooper Keir Dissinger, of the Pennsylvania State Police,
arrested petitioner for driving under the influenceJ Petitioner was taken to a booking
center, where he signed a waiver agreeing to undertake a test of his breath. Bmndon
Mitchem, a booking agent, conducted the testing on the Intoxilyzer 5000. At the start of
' 75 Pa.C.S. § 3731(a)(1) and (4)(i).
01-3240 CIVIL TERM
the first test, Mitchem told petitioner to blow into the mouthpiece of the Intoxilyzer, and
he would tell him when to stop. Petitioner spit into the mouthpiece. The agent told
petitioner not to spit into the mouthpiece, but petitioner did it a second time. The agent
again told him not to spit into the mouthpiece. On his third effort, at 1:33 a.m.,
petitioner blew a valid test of .202%. Petitioner then began a second test. He blew into
the mouthpiece on sixteen separate occasions, however, he never supplied a sufficient
amount of breath to register a valid second test. At various times, petitioner would not
blow hard enough, or for a sufficient sustained period, or he would not have a tight seal
around the mouthpiece. Agent Mitchem told petitioner to blow harder, to make a tight
seal around the mouthpiece, and to blow one sustained breath. He repeatedly told
petitioner to make one steady, strong breath, with a tight seal on the mouthpiece, until
he was told to stop. After the sixteenth time, Agent Mitchem deemed that petitioner
refused to perform a valid second test? The Intoxilyzer was properly calibrated,
certified as accurate, and working properly.
Section 1547(b)(1) of the Vehicle Code, provides:
If any person placed under arrest for a violation of section
3731 (relating to driving under influence of alcohol or controlled
substance) ia requested to submit fo chemical testing and refuses to
do so, the testing shall not be conducted but upon notice by the police
officer, the deparlment ehall auepend the operating privilege of the
person for a period of 12 monthe. (Emphasis added.)
The regulations of the Department of Transportation at 67 Pa. Code § 77.24(b)
All of this was memorialized on a videotape. Respondent's Exhibit No. 4.
-2-
01-3240 CIVIL TERM
include:
The procedures for alcohol breath testing shall include, at a minimum: (1)
Two consecutive actual breath tests, without required waiting period
between the two tests.
The failure to perform two tests as required by this regulation warrants the
suspension of an operator's driving privilege under Section 1547(b)(1) of the Vehicle
Code. Commonwealth, Department of Tranaportatlon v. $chraf, 135 Pa. Commw.
246 (1990).
In Pappae v. Commonwealth Department of Transportation, 669 A.2d 504
(Pa. Commw. 1996), the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania stated:
In order to establish a prima facie case in support of a Section
1547(b) license suspension, DOT must prove inter alia, that the licensee
refused to submit to chemical testing. DOT need not establish that the
licensee objected to taking the test. Yi v. Department of Transportation,
Bureau of DdverLicensing, 164 Pa. Cmwlth. 275, 642 A.2d 625 (1995). 'It
is well established law that where a defendant, when taking a
breathalyzer test, does not exert a total conscious effort, and thereby
fails to supply a sufficient breath sample, such Is tantamount to a
refusal to take the test.' Appeal of Budd, 65 Pa. Cmwlth. 314, 442 A.2d
404, 406 (1982). Even a licensee's good faith attempt to comply with the
test constitutes a refusal where the licensee fails to supply a sufficient
breath sample. Yi.
A refusal is supported by substantial evidence where the
breathalyzer administrator testifies that the licensee did not provide
sufficient breath. See Mueller v. Department of Transportation, Bureau
of D#ver Licensing, 657 A.2d 90 (Pa. Cmwlth.), petition for allowance of
appeal denied, 542 Pa. 637, 665 A.2d 471 (1995) (officer's testimony that
licensee did not make a 'proper effort' was sufficient to meet DOT's
burden regarding refusal); Books v. Department of Transportation, Bureau
of D#verLicensing, 109 Pa. Cmwlth. 25, 530 ^.2d 972 (1987) (officer's
testimony that licensee did not provide sufficient breath and stopped
blowing as soon as he saw the machine register wee sufficient to
meet DOT's burden); Budd (officer's testimony that licensee failed to
-3-
01-3240 CIVIL TERM
tighten his lips around the mouthpiece of the breathalyzer was
sufficient to prove refusal). If DOT establishes refusal by utilizing the
testimony of the administering officer, it need not prove that the machine
was in proper working condition at the time of the test. Books; Budd.
That is, once DOT establishes refusal, the operability or suitability of the
breathalyzer is not at issue. Books; Budd.
Alternatively, DOT may establish refusal under these
circumstances by presenting a printout form from a propedy calibrated
breathalyzer indicating a 'deficient sample.' Department of
Transportation, Bureau of D#ver Licensing v. Lohner, 155 Pa. Cmwlth.
185, 624 A.2d 792 (1993); Pestock. In this situation, proper calibration
may be proven by either documentary or testimonial evidence. See
Lohner (calibration established by stipulation); Pestock (calibration
established by testimony of administering officer); see also 67 Pa. Code§
77.25(c) ('The certificate of accuracy shall be the presumptive evidence of
accuracy referred to in 75 Pa.C.S. § 1547 (relating to chemical testing to
determine amount of alcohol or controlled substance).').
Once DOT has presented evidence that the licensee Palled to
provide sufficient breath samples, refusal is presumed and the
burden of proof than shifts to the licensee to establish by competent
medical evidence that he or she was physically unable to perform
the test Pestock. (Emphasis added.)
In the case sub Judice, petitioner testified that he made a conscious effort to
blow a second breath test. He argues that he was given inadequate instructions on
how to perform the test; therefore, his license suspension must be reversed. He cites
Barner v. Commonwealth of Pennaylvania, Department of Transportation, 19 D. &
C.4~ 523 (Dauph. 1993), the tdal court stated:
In a studied review of the videotape, counsel and the court
attempted to record the results of five attempted tests. The number of
seconds during which the tone was activated in each test is as follows:
Test 1, three seconds; test 2, nine seconds; test 3, four seconds; test 4,
three seconds; test 5, six seconds. During one of these tests the machine
provided a momentary reading of .215. Benner also explained that the
machine emits a beep when a sufficient sample has been received.
In this case, Mr. Benner conceded that he did not instruct the
-4-
01-3240 CIVIL TERM
defendant to blow into the machine until she heard a beep. He did not
explain to her that the machine required approximately ten seconds of
uninterrupted breath or that she would have to take a deep breath before
beginning to blow. At one point, the defendant stopped blowing after the
operator said "okay" even before the beep had sounded. Wa find that
the lack of clarity in Mr. Banner's Inetructiona was a prima~y cause
of the failure to obtain a valid test. If the licensee makes a conscious
effort to comply but is unsuccessful because of operator failure, there can
be no refusal. See e.g., PennDot v. Marion, 109 Pa. Commw. 299, 530
A.2d 1053 (1987). (Emphasis added.)
The regulations of the Department of Transportation at 67 Pa. Cede § 77.24(b),
include:
Procedures ... Alcohol and breath tests ... shall be performed in
accordance with accepted standard procedures for operation
specified by the manufacturer of the equipment or comparable
procedures. (Emphasis added.)
The Operator's Manual of the manufacturer of the Intoxilyzer 5000, Federal
Signal Corporation of Minturn, Colorado, sets forth an operating procedure for the
administration of a breath test.3 The manual includes the following:
Request subject to blow into the mouthpiece until the tone stops;
the subject has three minutes to provide an adequate breath sample. To
insure a delivery of a sufficient sample, the display command requests the
subject to blow into the mouthpiece until the tone stops. The tone,
however, does not actually stop until the subject stops blowing .... If the
subject stops blowing before providing a sufficient sample, then 'PLEASE
BLOVV' flashes on the display and beep sounds every five seconds. If this
occurs, request the subject to blow into the mouthpiece until the tone
stops.
In the case sub judice, Agent Mitchem never told petitioner to blow into the
Petitioner's Exhibit No. 1.
01-3240 CIVIL TERM
mouthpiece until the tone on the machine stopped. However, he did tell petitioner to
make a tight seal around the mouthpiece, to blow harder, and to blow in one sustained
breath. He repeatedly told petitioner to make one steady, strong breath until he was
told to stop. In Barner, the Dauphin County court reversed a license suspension
because, on the facts of that case, the court concluded that "the licensee did make a
conscious effort to comply with the testing but was unsuccessful because of operator
failure." Here, in contrast, we know, despite petitioner's testimony to the contrary, that
he knew how to perform a valid test because he blew a valid .202% on his third try. On
his next sixteen efforts, he failed to do the same thing that he had just done. When
Agent Mitchem repeatedly told him to make one steady, strong breath, with a tight seal
on the mouthpiece until he was told to stop, something he did not do, the procedure
was comparable to that set forth in the operator's manual. The procedure used by the
Agent complied with 67 Pa. Code § 77.24(b). As long as petitioner was informed on
how to successfully complete the test, which he was, there are no magic words that
must be imparted to him. Our review of the videotape satisfies us that the Agent was
correct in that petitioner did not exert a total conscious effort to complete a second valid
breath test, which he was told how to perform, and which he knew how to perform.
There was no operator error. Therefore, the following order is entered.
AND NOW, this ~"/~'" day of September, 2001, the within appeal fTom
the suspension of petitioner's operator's license for one year, I$ DISMISSED.

-- Oenersl I nfo~matton ~'
Depending on their physical size and structure, molecules absorb light energy
-- .of specific frequencies. For example, alcohol molecules absorb energy of
in,~ameO light in a particular frequency range, using an infrared ener9y
absorption technique, tn Intoxilyzer 5000 alcohol breath analysis instI~ment
finds the alcohol concentration in a breath sample.
The heart of the Intoxiiyzer 5000 instrument is its sample chamber. At one
end of the chamber, a quartz iodide lamp emits infrared light energy, which is
-- directed through the chamber by a lens. At the opposite end of the chamber, a
second lens focuses the energy ieavin9 the chamber" through three, rotating
filters an0 onto an infrared energy detector. The filters, allow only certain
_. wavelengths of light ener9Y through.
Initially, the instrument establishes a zero reference point by measurin9 the
amount of infrared energy strikirg the detector when the .sample chamber is
- filled with room air. During a breath test, as the amount of alcohol va~or in
the chamber rises, the amount of infrared energy re_achin9 the detector falls.
Therefore, by finding the difference between the zero reference point and the
-- breath test measurement, the instrument datelines breath alcohol
concentration. Since a proportional relationship"exists between the amount of
alcohol in one's breath and in one's blood, the
unit
converts
b~eath
alcohol
_ concentration to blood alcohol concentration and di~Dlays the result in
. percent weight by volume in accordance with the Uniform Vehicle Code. To
assure accurate test results, the Intoxilyzer 7000 alcohol breath analysis
instr~ent also detects and compen~tes for acetone, which absorbs infrared
-' light energy in the same frequency range as alcohol absorbs.

Switch P=ior£ties and Invalid MoUe
_
S9 SlO Sll S32
_. The cireled numbers shown in the illustration above indicate the priorities of
the Mode Selection switches. For example, if S2 (DVM Test) and 59 (ACA) a~e
both "on," the instzument will be set in ACA. In other wosx~s, the instrument
responds to the positions of S~, SiO, and Sll before it responds to the
- positions of the other switches.
Only one out of the three switches - S9 (ACA), SlO (Set Time), and Sll (Set
_. Date) - can be "on" at once. Consequently, if two or ail three switches are
"on" when you push Start Test, "INVALID MODE" wii1 appear on the display and a
low-high tone will sound intermittently for five seconds. "INVALID MODE" will
also appear on the display if the instrument is set in CMS (S1, S2 and S3
-' "on") and the instrdment's softwaz~ ODes not contain a custom-programmed mode
se quenc e.
- The following switches are not operational when the instrument is set in
Display Test, DVM Test, Print Test, Set Time, and Set Date: S13 (Print
Inhibit), 54 (Third Digit On), S5 (Display During Test), anO 56 (Sample
_ Capture). S6 (Sample Capture) is also not operat£onal when the instrument is
set in ACA (S9 "an").
Note - On instruments equipped with a keyboard and battery backup RAM, the
-' switch priorities may vary f~om the priorities described above. If your
instrument has a keyboard and battery backup RPA, refer to the "Requested
Options" section at the back of this manual for the priorities of the Mode
Selection switches.
Setting the Mode Selection Switches
You may set the Mode Selection switches at any time; howaver, tl~e instz~Jment
I checks the switch settings only after the Start Test button is pushed
following the display of either "F~ADY TO 5TART" or "FEDERAL SICNAL CORP./CHI

'.... ample, if the instrument ia in the middle of an ACA test ($~ "on") and you
switch $9 "off" and Sll (Set Date) "on," the instrument will first complete
the ACA test and subsequently display either "FEADY TO START" or "?EDERAL

.Preliminary Setup
To assure adequate vent£1ation, locate the instrument at least one inch a~ay
f~om a back wall and on a hard surface, i.e., not on a .surface covered with a
rug-like material. The instrument's operational environment should be
relatively dust free. You can purchase an optional dustcover by orOerirg-Part
Number OllllO. (See "Accessories," page 49.) Power to the instrument shoulO
be ~FF, however, while the instrument is covered.
If you wish to secure the instrument in place, you can use the two
miscellaneous 10-32 x 3/8 screws on the back of the instrument for attaching
your own mounting setup.
Mounting 8crews
If not adjusted by CMl, set the Mode Selection switches so the Intoxilyzer _
5000 breath analysis instrument conducts a breath test according to your
department's requirements. (See "Mode Selection Switches," page 7.)

O~erati~j ~ro~edure
The mucous lining of the mouth cavity and nasal passages stores alcohol for
some time after a person consumes alcohol. Normal body p~ocesses eliminate
~esidual mouth alcohol within 15 minutes. Therefore, observe a subject for at
least 15 minutes before performing a test. During the observation time, the
subject may not smoke, eat, drink, or introduce any substance into his mouth.
Furthermore, if the subject ~egurgitates, note the time and Oelay starting a
breath test for at least 15 minutes.
The positions of the MoOe Selection switches Oetermine the order of operations
carried out by the instrument as well as the messages and commands that will
,. appear on the display. (See "Mode Selection Switches," page ?.) For example
[ S2 and $3 "on" eno Si "off" places the instrument in the ABA (Air 8lank,
Breath Test, Air Blank) mode sequence. In other words, the instrument
automatically purges the sample chamber (Air Blank), analyze~ the breath
sample (Breath Test), and again purges the sample chamber (Air..Blank).
Following is the order of messages and commands given by the Oisplay when the
instrument is set in the ABA moOe sequence. To conOuct a breath test, simply
responO to the displayed messages and commanOs as indicated in the right hand

Calibration
Although the lntoxilyzer 5000 breath analysis instrument is pez~nanently
calibrated, some dePartaents may ~equi~ periodic calibration checks. To
check the inst:ument.s calibration against a standa~ alcohol solution,
~ecommends using the Toxitest Model ABs+120 alcdhol b~eath simulator (or its
equivalent) manufactured by Fede:al Signal Cozpo~ation. You can purchase the
Toxitest simuZator by ordering Part Number 014024. (See "Accessories,,, page
FoZ~o~in9 is the standard proceOu~e for at'taching the Toxitest siaulator to

~etailed description of how to operate the simulator, refer to the
ins~:uctions accompanying the unit.
1. Ou~in9 a calibration check, the inst~ument,s p~p d~aws air through the

The Sample Capture Option
The Intoxilyzer 5000 breath analysis instrument uses a nondestructive infrared
absorption technique to find the alcohol concentration of a breath sample.
Consequently, one may preserve the alcohol in an analyzed sample by evacuating
the contents of the sample chamber through a tube containing a desiccant, sucl~
as, silica 9el. Since the desiccant captures alcohol, it enables one to
reanalyze a sample at a later date.
Some alcohol-capture techniques channel the analyzed sample through the
collector tube anO into the room. Oftentimes, however, passing the breath
sample tPmough the collector tube only once fails to trap all of the alcohol -
a phenomenon known as blow-by. Therefore, to prevent blow-by, the Intoxilyzer
5000 b~eath analysis instrument recirculates an analyzed sample through the
collector tube until no alcohol remains in the sample.
Followin9 a breath test, the instrument automatically pur9es the sample
i chamber. During a purge operation, the instrument's pump forces the breath
' sample out an exit port by sucking room air into the sample chamber through
the breath tube. Therefore, following a breath test, one may preserve the
,... alcohol in a b~eath sample by connecting one eno of a collector tube to the
sample chamber's exit port and the other end to the breath tube. Thus, durlng
the purge operation, the instrument's pump circulates the breath sample
instead of exhausting it into the room.
While the desiccant collects the alcohol and water present in the breath
sample, the inst~ment's display shows "AIR 8LANK" anO a three digit (optional
2 digit) number. The number is the alcohol concentration present in the
sample chamber converted to an equivalent blood alcohol concentration in
percent weight by volume. Consequently, as the desiccant traps 'the alcohol,
the number displayed with "AIR BLANK" decreases. "AIR BLANK .000," then,
indicates that the desiccant has captured all the alcohoi.
Following is the order of statements and commands given by the instrument's
display when the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath analysis instrument is set with the
Sample Capture Option activated (S~ "on") and in the ~SA moOe sequence (S)
"on," SI and S2 "off"). To conduct a breath test, simply respond to the
displayed messages and commands as indicated in the right hand column.

Toxtrap ~ collector tubes and a Toxtrap Holder are accessory items available
for purchase. Tcxtrap tubes can be purchased in lots of 1CD by ordering Part
Number 015014. The Toxtrap Holder can be purchased by ozdering Pa~t Number
DlllO~. (See "Accessories," page 49.) The following d£agrams and text show
the Toxtrap tube as well as the Toxtrap Holder and give instruction on their
USe,
Instructions for Using the TOXIRAP Collector Tube and Toxtrap Holder
Toxtrap collector tubes are individually wrapped in waterproof plastic bags.
The labeling on each plastic bag is important because it gives the name of the
breath analysis instrument the tube was designed to be used with. Therefore,
prior to using a Toxtrap collector tube, make sure the label on the bag reads
"USE WITH THE INTOXILYZER 5000."
TWO exhaust pozts extend from the back of the instrument. On olde~
instruments, the ports a~e plastic qu~ck-disconnect connectors, one male and
one female. On newer instruments the ports a~e brass; both are the same
size. On a standard instrument, the ports a~e labeled PUMP EXHAUST/SAMPLE
~. CAP~JRE and BREATH EXHAUST. On an instrument equippeO with the Vapor
· Circulation option, however, the ports are labeled SIMULATOR RETURN and
EXHAUST/SAMPLE CAPTURE.

The Toxtrap Holder comes with three sets of quick disconnect connectors. Two
of the three sets have connecb~rs with hourglass shaped collars, The
remaining set has connectors with round collars. The two types of connectors
are not interchangeable. In other words, a femaie connector with a ~ound
coila~ cannot be linked to a male connector wi~h an hourglass shaped collar.
