Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing our ACE Solid Breathalyzer.
It measures alcohol concentration in human breath using a
semiconductor sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level.
The device must only be used pursuant to the instructions
mentioned in this manual. In case of any questions you may
contact the distributor (ACE) by email to info@ace-instruments.

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.
Short description:
The ACE Solid Breathalyzer can be operated by only one
button. The test results have a tolerance of +/- 0.10‰ (per mill
= default setting) with reference to 0.50‰. For devices with UK
measurement unit the tolerance is +/- 0.05mg/L with reference
to 0.25mg/L, for devices with US measurement unit the toleran-
ce is +/- 0.01% BAC with reference to 0.05% BAC. The test result
is shown on a display with 3 digits (2 decimals) and it can be
interpreted 1:1 - so if the shown test result is, e.g., 0.36 then this
means 0.36‰ = per mill (for UK: if the shown test result is, e.g.,
0.18, then this means 0.18mg/L, for USA: if the shown test result
is, e.g., 0.036, then this means 0.036% BAC).
The semiconductor sensor inside the ACE Solid Breathalyzer
can be calibrated. To maintain the measurement accuracy
of this breathalyzer it should be calibrated regularely. For a
calibration service you can send the device to ACE Instruments
(see www.ace-instruments.net).
For each breath test a new mouthpiece is recommended (for
hygienic reasons and also to avoid an influence on the test
results - a used mouthpiece may contain rest alocohol).
