Due to changes in the product, the procedures stated
can change. This can take place without prior notice
or adaptation of the operating manual and is no cause
for complaint, return or price reduction. The user is
responsible for recognizing discrepancies between
the operating manual and the actual handling of the
breathalyzer and must react accordingly.
Battery Law notice (BattG):
The device associated with this operating manual
contains two AAA Alkaline batteries (1.5 V) in delivery
condition. These batteries are not made for recharging.
The use of rechargeable batteries is not possible with
this device and can damage it. If the included
batteries are depleted, they must not be thrown into
the household waste. Used batteries may contain
harmful substances that can cause environmental or
health damage. Please return all depleted batteries to
electrical appliance stores, who collect them for free.
Battery exchange:
To replace depleted batteries against new ones, first
push the battery cover up and then sideways. Then
replace the depleted batteries with two new ones. Be
aware of the polarity when inserting the new batteries
(+/- pole). Put the battery compartment cover on the
rear panel and push it gently down.
Calibration:
To maintain the accuracy of the breathalyzer,
ACE recommends a calibration every 6 - 12 months.
For a calibration service you can send the device
to ACE Instruments (see www.ace-instruments.net).
The calibration is not mandatory, but the accuracy
of the breathalyzer will decrease steadily without it.
We recommend sending it as a parcel,
so that in cases of loss an inquiry or proof
of delivery is possible.
FLO
The breath sample was interrupted or not strong
enough for a measurement. After the sensor
warmed up itself automatically, please blow
steadily and without a break into the mouthpiece
(like you would whistle).
BAT
The battery power is low. Please replace the
2 batteries inside the device with 2 new ones
(type AAA, 1.5V, LR03, Alkaline batteries). Be
aware of the polarity when inserting the new
batteries (+/- pole). Do not use rechargeable
batteries!
CAL
If you tested over 1.000 times, the ACE X will
display “CAL” sign for 3 seconds when warming
up for test. This “CAL” sign informs about the
appropriate time for calibration. For a calibration
service you can send the device to ACE Instru-
ments (see www.ace-instruments.net).
OUT
The device turns off (either by pressing the
power button constantely for 4 seconds or 10
seconds after displaying the test result).
C
or
A
“C” and “A” is shown when putting on the device
and keeping pushed the power button.
C = The number of all tests conducted with the
device (starting with zero after a calibration)
A = The number of tests where alcohol was
detected
P
or
F
Only displayed in the passive mode, see descrip-
tion in chapter “Conducting the measurement”.
