Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our ACE one Breathalyzer! It measures the alcohol concentration in
human breath using an electrochemical sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level. The test
results are very reliable and have a tolerance of +/- 0.05‰ (per mill) with reference to 0.50‰.
The measurement results are displayed as a 3-digit number with 2 decimals and are interpreta-
ble 1: 1 (for example the display shows the value 0.36 = 0.36 per mill).
The fuel cell sensor inside the device can be calibrated. To maintain the measurement accuracy
of this device and the sensor warranty, it should be calibrated regularely. For a calibration ser-
vice you can send the device to the service address specified at www.alkomat.net.
The device must only be used pursuant to the instructions mentioned in this manual. All meas-
ured values determined by this breathalyzer are always a guide only and are not legally binding.
Breath tests should be carried out using clip-on mouthpieces (one new mouthpiece should be
used per test for reasons of hygiene and to avoid falsified readings).
Note to country-specific measurement units
Customers in the EU get the breathalyzer with ‰ (per mill) as default setting, in the UK the
default setting is mg/L and in the USA it is % BAC. In the chapter „Technical data“ you will find
information about the accuracy concerning the different measurement units. Please check e.g.
the website of the department of transportation, the website of the Ministry of Transport or of
automotive clubs to get informed about the current alcohol limits in your country.
