Breath Test Procedure

Before providing a sample

®

1. Your Autowatch WAB 100  reacts very specifically to the presence of alcohol in the breath. 

However, it can be affected by, for example, use of mouthwash or the application of perfume 
and aftershave immediately before taking your sample. All of these products contain alcohol 
and their presence may elevate the results determined by the instrument.

2. Similarly, elevated results can occur if you have consumed alcohol up to 20 minutes before 

providing a sample. This is because your mouth may still contain residual alcohol from the 
last drink.

3. Smoking within up to two minutes of providing a sample may also produce erroneous 

results.

Take Sample

Meanwhile, the WAB automatically checks its operating parameters.  
When the WAB is ready to take a sample a further single beep will 
sound, followed by the message

We strongly recommend that you take the WAB with you when you leave the 
vehicle.  This will then not only act as an additional security system for your 
vehicle, but will also help to prevent  the WAB from being exposed to temperature 
extremes.

PROVIDING A BREATH SAMPLE

Take a deep breath , seal your lips around the 
wide end of the mouthpiece and blow into it with 
moderate force. The instrument will detect your 
breath flow and will emit a continuous tone as 
long as you are blowing correctly. Once sufficient 
breath has been blown the tone will stop and a 
double click will be heard followed by two rapid 
beeps. Once you have heard the two beeps then 
stop blowing.

Ensure that your Service/Fitment Centre fully 
demonstrates the correct blowing technique 
of the WAB.

NOTE

The WAB is equipped with highly sophisticated methods of detecting 

sample tampering.  Any attempt to start your vehicle without providing an 
unadulterated human breath sample will be logged within the system and you may 
be required to explain your actions at a later date.

With the ignition switched off the 

 LED will be flashing.
