3.6 Checking a Container
The device can be used as an 'electronic nose' to
check a container to see if it contains alcohol.
CAUTION
It is very important that the device only samples
the vapours from the test liquid inside the
container. The device must not contact any fluids
directly, this could damage the device.
•
Hold the device with the sample cone
fairly
close to the liquid to be tested, and preferably
in a relatively sealed environment.
•
Press the
PASSIVE
button
, wait for the
device to take a sample before removing the
device from the container.
•
Note the indicated alcohol reading on the
DISPLAY
light
.
•
A further test can be performed once the
STATUS
light
turns GREEN.
NOTES
If the DISPLAY light
shows AMBER or
RED then the liquid contains alcohol to
some degree. If the reading is GREEN
then repeat the test at least twice to be
sure the sample was correctly taken from
the liquid vapours.
If the alcohol level in the sample was very
high then it may take a minute or even
longer for the sensor to clear and the
STATUS light
turns GREEN.
