Preparation For The Test; Important Notice - Ace INNOMARK Série Notice D'utilisation

EN – Operating Manual
G) Change the battery if it is depleted. Diminished battery capacity leads to
incorrect test results.
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
charging 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
mouthpiece 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 briefly once again, „SH" (= Sensor Heating) appears
briefly, then „SH99" and then a countdown starts counting from 30 to 0 (if the
sensor needs more time to warm up, the countdown starts at 99). During the
countdown the unit beeps every second and the display alternates between
„READY" and „BLOW".
3. Once the countdown starts, you can begin the breath test. Blow steadily into
the previously attached mouthpiece for 4 seconds. Breathe out slowly and
without interruption (as if you were whistling without a tone). The device beeps
continuously during the breath test.
4. As soon as the beep stops and a click tone and a double beep tone can
be heard, 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 for 2 seconds.
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.
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.de).

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).
• 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.
