Preparation for the Test
1.
Push the battery cover (on the back of the device) downwards
and open it
(1A)
. Install the 2 AAA batteries (delivered together
with the device) in the battery compartment while taking note of
the battery polarity
(1B)
. Close the battery cover again.
2.
Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the left front side of the
breathalyzer. Ensure whether it is securely fitted. It is highly
recommended to use a new mouthpiece for every test for sani-
tary reasons.
Conducting the Measurement
1.
Push the power button on the front of the device, then you
hear one beep tone and shortly will see the number of tests
performed with the device (Note: This number is only shown as
long as you press the power button and if you press and hold
down the power button for more than 5 seconds, the device
will be turned off). If you don`t press it anymore then you hear
another beep tone and see “WAIT” on the display, additionally
a countdown starts.
2.
Wait until the end of the countdown you hear 2 beep tones
and then you see “BLOW” blinking on the display. Additionally,
you see 3 horizontal lines on the left side of the display.
3.
As soon as you see “BLOW” on the display start blowing stea-
dily into the mouthpiece for 4 seconds, the device will beep
constantly during the test.
Tip:
Blow like you would whistle without a tone (but without a
break).
4.
As soon as the beeping stops you hear a “clack” tone and
a double beep tone (the test is finished). If the breath sample
was not sufficient you will see „Flo“ on the display. Push the start
button and start a new test.
5.
After a successful test the device is analyzing the breath
sample, you see several lines moving in clockwise circles
around the display. After a few seconds the test result is dis-
played for 5 seconds (with 3 digits and 2 decimals) in ‰, then
for 2.5 seconds in mg/L (= UK setting) and then for 2.5 seconds
in % BAC (with 4 digits and 3 decimals). If the test result is higher
than 0.50‰ or 0.25mg/L or 0.05% BAC, then you can hear a warn
signal (beep sound) for about 10 seconds.
Note:
The device will turn off automatically if it is not in use for
about 3 minutes, additionally you hear a beep tone and on the
display you see „Out“ and afterwards „OFF“. If you want to con-
duct a new test, please press the power button. You can turn
off the device manually if you constantly press the power button
for about 5 seconds, you shortly see „OFF“ on the display and
the device turns off.
ACE Instruments recommends
Š
Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and test
that is conducted. ACE Instruments assumes no liability
for any damages that may arise when several people use
the same mouthpiece for multiple tests.
Š
Only use the provided individually packaged and hy-
gienic mouthpieces. During each test the breathalyzer’s
internal and external parts come into contact with human
secretion (saliva, blood, sweat, etc.)!
Š
Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece used
by another person! You can buy appropriate gloves at
ACE Technik (www.ace-technik.de).
