Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our ACE AL6000 breathalyzer! It measures the alcohol concentration in human
breath using semiconductor sensor and calculates the blood alcohol content. The test results are very reliable
and have a tolerance of +/- 0.10‰ (per mill = g/L) with reference to 0.50‰ at 25°C ambient temperature. The
measurement results are displayed as a 3-digit number with 2 decimals and are interpretable 1: 1 (for example
the display shows the value 0.36 = 0.36 per mill).
The sensor inside the device can be calibrated. To maintain the measurement accuracy of this device and
the sensor warranty, it should be calibrated regularly. For a calibration service, you can send the device to the
service address specified at www.alkomat.net.
The device must only be used pursuant to the instructions mentioned in this manual. All measured values
determined by this breathalyzer are only a guide and not legally binding. Breath tests should be carried out
using clip-on mouthpieces (one new mouthpiece should be used per test for reasons of hygiene and to avoid
falsified readings).
Note to Country-specific Measurement Units
Customers in the EU receive 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 Transpor-
tation, the website of the Ministry of Transport, or automotive clubs to become informed about the current
alcohol limits in your country.

Tips to Receive the Most Accurate Results
A) Wait at least 15 minutes after your last sip of alcohol. Do not eat, drink or smoke during that time.
B) Do not open the casing.
C) Do not keep the breathalyzer in cold, hot, moist, or badly ventilated places..
D) Keep the breathalyzer out of the reach of children.
E) Conduct three inlet tests after long storage before conducting the actual alcohol test.
F) Do not drop the breathalyzer.
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) / 0.10 % 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.
