3.b) Passive mode: For this mode you don’t need a
mouthpiece. As soon as you can see “0” on the
display, hold the mouthpiece connection on top
of the device in front of your mouth and press the
power button while you exhale. You see 4 times a
“0” blinking on the display and then the result: If
you see “P” (= Pass) then the test result is below
0.02% BAC and if you see “F” (= Fail) then the test
result is higher than 0.02% BAC. For DUI the legal
limit in the USA is 0.08% BAC (status: Oct 2016).
*
If you press the power button constantly for 2 seconds, you can
see the letter “C” and “A” - each followed by a number. Please
read the display indications for the explanation of the meaning!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN,
DRUNKEN ALCOHOL OR SMOKED A CIGARETTE,
WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE
MEASUREMENT. ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR TO
THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING
PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE RESULTS.
IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0.005 % BAC THEN
THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.000% BAC ON THE DISPLAY.
THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF
ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IT IS POSSIBLE TO
MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR MOUTH.

ACE INSTRUMENTS ADVISES:
EVEN IF YOU GET A RESULT MEANING „SAFE RANGE“,
YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE AFTER CONSUMING
ALCOHOL OR DO ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE
SEVERELY IMPAIRED BY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
AND MIGHT ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY
OR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS.
ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS:
ALWAYS USE A NEW MOUTHPIECE FOR EACH PER-
SON AND TEST THAT IS CONDUCTED. ACE INSTRU-
MENTS ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES
WHICH ARISE WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE USE THE
SAME MOUTHPIECE FOR MULTIPLE TESTS.
ONLY USE THE PROVIDED SINGLE PACKED AND
HYGIENIC MOUTHPIECES – MORE ARE AVAILABLE
AT WWW.ACE-INSTRUMENTS.NET. DURING EACH
TEST THE BREATHALYZER´S INTERNAL AND EXTER-
NAL PARTS COME INTO CONTACT WITH HUMAN
SECRETION (SALIVA, BLOOD, SWEAT, ETC.)!
USE SAFTEY GLOVES WHEN PULLING OUT A
MOUTHPIECE USED BY ANOTHER PERSON!
YOU CAN BUY APPROPRIATE GLOVES E.G. AT
ACE TECHNIK (WWW.ACE-TECHNIK.DE).
Conducting the measurement:
1. Press the power button to turn on the device
*
(the device beeps once).
2. The device warms up until you can see ”0” on the
display (additionally the device beeps twice).
3.a) Active mode: As soon as you can see “0” on the
display blow through the mouthpiece into the
unit for 4 seconds (you can hear a beep tone
during the test) until the sound (a “tic-tac” tone)
concludes.
Preparation for the test:
1. Open the battery compartment cover at the back of
the device: First push the cover up and then sideways.
Then you have to remove the small paper inside the
battery compartment which prevents the battery
discharge. If you exchange old batteries against new
ones please mind the battery polarity (+/- pole).
2. For the active mode operation put a mouthpiece on
the mouthpiece connection, which is on top of the
device. Make sure it is attached properly. Use a differ-
ent mouthpiece for each test person. Avoid blowing
cigarette smoke into the tester! The passive mode is
described in chapter “Conducting the measurement”.
