Ace ALCOSCAN III Manuel D'instructions page 9

Calibration
To maintain the accuracy of the ACE III, you can either change the integrated sensor or send the
device for a calibration of the in the device integrated sensor to ACE Technik. If you don`t change the
sensor we recommend a calibration of the integrated one after 1 year at the latest. The calibration is
not mandatory, but the accuracy of ACE III will decrease steadily without it. Send the device with the
note `Alkomat calibration service´ to the company address stated on the invoice you received with
the device. We recommend sending it as a parcel, so that in cases of loss an inquiry or proof of
delivery is possible.
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 to recognise deviations between the operating manual and the
actual handling of the ACE III and he has to react accordingly.
Preparation for the test
1. Install 2 pieces of AAA batteries (alkaline, 1.5 V) in the battery compartment. Remove the
battery compartment cover at the back of the device carefully and insert the 2 pieces of AAA
batteries. Mind the battery polarity in the process (+/-).
2. For the active mode operation put a mouthpiece on the mouthpiece connection, which is on
the side of the device. Make sure it is attached properly. Use a different mouthpiece for each
test person. Avoid blowing cigarette smoke into the tester!
ACE Technik recommends

Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and each test which is conducted. ACE
Technik assumes no liability for any damages which arise when several people use the same
mouthpiece for multiple tests.

Don`t use the enclosed but the hygienic mouthpieces from the ACE series! During each test
the ACE III internal and external gets in contact with human secretion (saliva, blood, sweat
etc.)!

Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece which was used by another person than
yourself! You can buy appropriate gloves at ACE Technik.
Conducting the measurement
1. Press the power button.
2. The device warms up until you can see the "blow" sign.
3. Blow through the mouthpiece into the unit for 4 seconds until the sounds (a "tictac" tone)
concludes.
4. The result is displayed for 15 seconds. If you want to test again, press the power button after
the back light has turned off.
5. The device automatically turns off after 4 minutes without using it.
*
If you keep press and hold the power switch, you can check the accumulated total test
counts.
Important: When you have eaten, drunken alcohol or smoked a cigarette, wait at least 20 minutes
before starting the measurement.
