2.3 Intended use

3 Use
3.1 Prerequisites
The following accessories are required for operating the
Alcotest 9510 Standard instruments. Before positioning the
instrument, check if all parts are present:

Mouthpieces


Vehicle connection cable (for mobile use with a 12 Volt
supply)

External keyboard (optional)
External Keypad
A USB keypad (QWERTY) can be connected to the instrument
via one of the USB ports. The keypad is used for:

Entering data of the person being tested and the operator
for the protocol

Entering text and numbers (like e. g. location or date)
The instrument can be used with the connected keypad or the
touch-sensitive screen (touch screen). You can switch
between the different displays and control elements with the
control keys of the keypad.
Only a keypad listed as an accessory should be used for
entering data, see Section 13 on Page 27. Any other keyboard
must be approved by Dräger prior to use.
3.2 Preparation for use
3.2.1 Positioning the instrument
Select the installation location in such a way that the gas outlet
at the rear of the instrument is not obstructed and the
instrument is not exposed to direct sunlight.
1. Place the instrument on an even and solid surface. Make
sure that there is enough space for the accessories
(keypad, etc.).
2. Lightly pull apart the instrument lid at the markings and
remove it (see fold-out, B).
3. Check if a paper roll is in the thermal printer, see Section
8.2.1 on Page 26.
3.2.2 Stationary use with mains connection
1. Check the mains voltage specification on the type plate
2. Move mains switch (see fold-out, 9), to
" 0 " .
3. Connect the keypad, if keypad operation is planned.
4. Connect the mains cable.
5. Move mains switch to
" I " .
The instrument starts the warming-up phase.
3.2.3 Mobile use with 12 Volt battery
For battery operation (vehicle connection (12 V DC)) the
instrument requires a direct voltage of at least 10.5 V DC.
When the input voltage is too low, the instrument is switched
off. This prevents deep discharge of the supply battery (e.g.
car battery).
1. Connect the keypad, if keypad operation is planned.
2. Connect the 12 V connection cable (see fold-out, 12) and
secure it.
3. Plug the connector of the 12 V connection cable into the 12
V socket of the vehicle or the cigarette lighter socket (with
adaptor).
4. Move the mains switch at the 12 V connection cable to " I " .
The instrument starts the warming-up phase.
3.2.4 Energy saving mode
If no measurement has been
performed after 15 minutes, the
instrument switches to energy
saving mode.

By pressing the start button,
readiness for measuring
can be restored after
approx. 5 minutes.
CAUTION
Only batteries or DC power supply units with isolator
(e.g. according to VDE 0551) may be connected. If this
is not adhered to, the instrument may be damaged.
NOTICE
To ensure the mobile use of the Alcotest 9510, ensure
that the vehicle battery is well charged or provide an
additional battery.
NOTICE
The mains switch at the housing is disabled during 12
V operation.
