EN – Operating Manual
H) Do not conduct tests in loud (sound waves disrupt the sensor), drafty, or poorly
ventilated places.
I) After a test result of 1.00 per mill (per mill = EU setting) / 0. 1 0% BAC (% BAC = US
setting) / 0.50mg/L (mg/L = UK setting) or higher the sensor needs rest time. In
this case wait at least three minutes before starting the next test.
J) Do not conduct tests in very cold, very hot, or an unventilated, smoky ambience.
K) Store the breathalyzer in a way to avoid penetration by dust or liquids.
L) Blowing too hard may cause damage to the sensor as saliva flows into it.
PREPARATION FOR THE TEST
1. Recharge the lithium-ion battery (3.7V) built into the unit using the supplied char-
ging cable. When starting the charging process, „CH" is shown on the display and
the battery indicator flashes at the same time, both disappear after a few seconds.
As soon as the charging process is completed, you will see the word „FULL" on
the display. Then push the button below the USB cable connection upwards (a
green background appears, the device can now be used).
2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the left front side of the breathalyzer. Ensure
whether it securely fits or not. It is highly recommended to use an extra mouth-
piece for every test for sanitary reasons.
CONDUCTING THE MEASUREMENT
1. Briefly press the start button on the front of the alcohol tester. The device beeps
twice and „ALCO" and the battery indicator appear on the display.
2. Press the start button again once briefly, „SH" (= Sensor Heating) appears briefly,
then „SH99" and a countdown starts (SH99 to SH00). During this first countdown,
the sensor is heated up and „WAIT" appears in the top left of the display. Then
a second countdown starts, counting from 30 to 0. During this countdown, the
device beeps every second and the display alternates between „READY" and
„BLOW".
3. As soon as you start your breath test, the device stops beeping and the display
shows „BLOW" (also during the breath test). Blow evenly into the previously atta-
ched mouthpiece for 4 to 5 seconds. Breathe out slowly and without interruption
(as if you were whistling without a sound).
4. As soon as you hear a click sound and a double beep, the test is finished. If the
breath sample was interrupted or too weak, „FLO" appears on the display. In this
case, perform the test again and press the start button once.
5. After a successful breath test, the instrument evaluates the measurement result.
The display briefly shows „Anly" and then immediately the result in per mille
(= standard setting of the measuring unit in the EU). The measuring result can be
seen for about 60 seconds, then „ALCO" appears again on the display. For a new
test, briefly press the start button once.
Note: The device switches off automatically after approx. 90 seconds.
For another test, simply press the start button once briefly. You can also switch off the
device manually by continuously pressing the start button for approx.
4 seconds.

STORAGE OF THE LAST 20 TEST RESULTS
If you push the button for switching on the power pack (= the button on the right side
of the unit) upwards or from the red to the green position, the power pack is activa-
ted. If you then press the power button of the unit, you will briefly see the number of
all tests ever performed with the unit.
The up and down buttons on the front of the unit are only used to view the tests
performed so far (up to 20 test results are stored). If no test results have been saved
yet, „- - -" is shown on the display.
You can also check the stored records after a successfully performed breath test and
view the results. If the display shows „ALCO" and you press the „up" button for
2 seconds, you will get to the overview. For example, if 10 tests have been performed
with the device, 10 test results can be displayed:
1. 1 When ALCO is shown on the display, press and hold the „up" button for
2 seconds and the test result MEM #0 is displayed.
1.2. if you press the upper button again, the display jumps to MEM #1, 2, 3, 4 etc. If you
press the lower button, it jumps to MEM #9, 8, 7 etc.
To exit the overview of stored test results, briefly press the power button. This will take
you back to the „ALCO" display (this also happens automatically after a few seconds).
Press the power button again to start a new test. The breath sample can be given
during the countdown from 29 to 0 or while READY/BLOW is shown on the display.
Caution: All stored data records (MEM #0-19) are deleted when the power supply is
interrupted (= when the slider on the right of the unit is pushed down or moved to the
red position).
ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS
• Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and test that is conducted. ACE
Instruments assumes no liability for any damages that may arise when several
people use the same mouthpiece for multiple tests.
• Only use the provided individually packaged and hygienic mouthpieces. During
each test the breathalyzer' s internal and external parts come into contact with
human secretion (saliva, blood, sweat, etc.)!
• Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece used by another person! You
can buy appropriate gloves at ACE Technik (www.ace-technik.com).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
• WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNK ALCOHOL OR, SMOKED A CIGARETTE, WAIT
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE MEASUREMENT. ANY TEST
CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING
PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE RESULTS.
• IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0. 1 0‰ (PER MILL = g/L) OR 0.01% BAC (US
setting) OR 0.05mg/L (UK settting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (‰ OR %
BAC OR mg/L – depending on the setting) ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAPPENS
BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IT IS POSSIBLE
TO MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR MOUTH.
• This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive measurement device. To maintain
the accuracy of the sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is not used for
an extended period, the sensor can dry out. ACE Instruments recommends using
the breathalyzer at least 2 times per month (even if you have not been drinking
alcohol).
