5. TESTING
When the breathalyzer is turned on, the screen will show the main menu (see Fig. 2).
Take a deep breath and then blow into the tester through the blowing nozzle, smoothly
and evenly until the buzzer stops and you hear a “pop” sound. Then stop blowing.
After blowing, the screen will show “processing…” which means the tester is analyzing
the sample. The test result will appear on the screen once the analysis ends. This will
include the type of gas and concentration. Meanwhile, the lamp light will flash. The
results will appear in one of three different ways:
1)
Normal
: If the “normal” message appears above the concentration value, it means
that the test result is below the alarm level set before the test procedure. If the
result is “normal”, the green light will also flash.
2)
Drink:
If the “drinking” message appears above the concentration value, it means
that the test result is above the alarm level set before the test procedure. If this
happens, the breathalyzer will emit an acoustic alarm and the red light will flash.
3)
Passive testing: If the person that should carry out the test does not want to
cooperate (the blowing air pressure is insufficient or blowing time is too short) it is
possible to carry out a passive test. Introduce clean air in the blowing tube to clean
any alcohol residuals before carrying out the test. When the screen shows the
m
essage “Please blow”, allow the user to blow and the press the
button.
The screen will show the result of the passive test after performing the analysis. If
the user cannot blow, allow clean air into the blowing tube for a few seconds to
eliminate any prior alcohol residuals, then place the blowing opening near the
