Important Notice - Ace DA-5000 Notice D'utilisation

This way you receive results that are as accurate as possible:
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 1.000‰ (per mill = default setting) or higher the sensor needs
rest time. In this case wait at least three minutes before 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. If you use the device for the first time you have to remove the small paper inside
the battery compartment which prevents the battery from discharging. Open the
battery compartment cover at the back of the device (push it downwards), pull out
the paper and close the battery compartment cover again. If you exchange old
batteries against new ones please mind the battery polarity (+/- pole).
2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the side of the breathalyzer. Ensure whether
it securely fits or not. For sanitary reasons it is highly recommended to use an extra
mouthpiece for each test.
Conducting the measurement:
1. Push the power button, then you hear one beep sound and shortly will see the
number of all tests performed with the device.
After pushing the power button a countdown starts (shown on the display) and
2.
the device warms up.
3. At the end of the countdown you see "0" on the display and additionally the
device beeps twice. As soon as you can see "0", start blowing into the mouthpiece.
Tip: Blow like you would whistle (without a break). The device will start beeping
when you start blowing.
4. Keep blowing steadily until the beeping stops and you hear a double beep
sound. If the breath sample was not sufficient you will see „Flo" on the display. Push
the start button and start a new test.
5. After a successful test the result is displayed after a few seconds. The test result
is shown as 3 digit readout of your blood alcohol level in ‰ (per mill = EU setting)
OR 0.050 mg/L (= UK setting) OR % BAC (= US setting). If the test result is higher
than 0.50‰ or 0.25mg/L or 0.05% BAC then you can hear a warn signal (beep
sound) for about 10 seconds.
Please note: The device puts itself off automatically approx. 15 seconds after sho-
wing the test result or 10 seconds after not using it – additionally you hear a beep
sound and you will see "Out" on the display.
The accuracy of this device is 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 tolerance is +/-
0.01% BAC with reference to 0.05% BAC.
ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS:
ALWAYS USE A NEW MOUTHPIECE FOR EACH PERSON AND TEST THAT IS
CONDUCTED. ACE INSTRUMENTS ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES
WHICH ARISE WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE USE THE SAME MOUTHPIECE FOR
MULTIPLE TESTS.
ONLY USE THE PROVIDED SINGLE PACKED AND HYGIENIC MOUTHPIECES -
MORE ARE AVAILABLE AT WWW.ACE-INSTRUMENTS.NET.
DURING EACH TEST THE BREATHALYZER´S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS
COME INTO CONTACT WITH HUMAN SECRETION (SALIVA, BLOOD, SWEAT, ETC.)!
USE DISPOSABLE GLOVES WHEN PULLING OUT A MOUTHPIECE USED BY
ANOTHER PERSON! YOU CAN BUY APPROPRIATE GLOVES E.G. AT
ACE TECHNIK (WWW.ACE-TECHNIK.DE).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNKEN 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 0.10‰ (PER MILL) OR 0.050 mg/L (UK setting)
OR 0.010% BAC (US setting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (‰ OR mg/L OR %
BAC - 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 semiconductor sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device
is not used for an extended period of time, the sensor can dry out. ACE Instruments
recommends to use 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.
