3 Operating Instructions

3.1 General Information

The following information should be observed when conducting a breath test analysis using this device:

• To obtain an accurate reading, alcohol should not be consumed, or mouthwash

containing alcohol used for at least 15 minutes prior to using this device.

• Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) readings can continue to rise or fluctuate for up

to two hours after alcohol is last consumed. Should the BAC readings be near or over the local threshold, drinking should be cease, then a re-test conducted after 15 minutes.

• Driving or operating machinery should not occur until a new test shows a decline in

the BAC reading and the BAC reading is below the local legislation legal limit.

• It can take up to one hour for the average person’s system to absorb a 0.01 BAC

before the level returns to zero. In such circumstances further testing later in the day or the following morning is strongly recommended.

CAUTION

While the HH4 is a robust device, it does contain sensitive instrumentation and should not

be subject to rough handling or become submerged in water.

Do not store the device in direct sunlight or places where extreme temperature conditions

can occur.

Figure 4 - Battery Condition Indicator

Recharge the battery when the Battery Condition Indicator shows one bar to ensure testing will not be interrupted by a flat battery.

3.4 Testing Types

The HH4 can perform both Mouthpiece and Passive (Passive Standard and Passive Only) testing. Mouthpiece testing provides a BAC reading in g/100ml (or other formats as required) and Passive testing will display the presence of alcohol in breath. Following a Passive test that indicates the presence of alcohol, a Mouthpiece test should then be performed if an accurate BAC is required.

3.4.1 Mouthpieces

There are two types of Mouthpieces available for use on the HH4 (Refer Figure 5). Mouthpiece Types:

• Spit Trap Non-Return Valve Mouthpiece (2 variants), and

• Standard Spigot Locator Mouthpiece.

Note

The device cannot be used for testing during charging but can be used for accessing

Records.

Note

Mouthpiece testing is also referred to as Standard or Active testing.

Page 9

REF: Alcolizer HH4 Alcohol Tester User Manual V1 Page 9 © Alcolizer Technology

Figure 5 - Mouthpiece Types

The advantage of using the spit trap mouthpieces is that most of the saliva in the exhaled breath is collected in the mouthpiece and does not enter the device.

3.4.2 Mouthpiece Testing

Attach the mouthpiece to the device as follows:

• Grasp the mouthpiece at the ribbed end and tear the plastic wrapping from the non-

ribbed end, downwards to expose the sample inlet hole.

• Locate the mouthpiece sample inlet port over the mouthpiece locator in line with

the recess that surrounds the spigot (Refer Figure 6).

• Press the mouthpiece sample inlet port onto the locator until it is attached securely

(Refer Figure 7). The orientation of the mouthpiece will not affect the sampling.

• Remove the remaining portion of the plastic wrap just prior to testing to ensure

hygienic use.

15 minutes.

If any step in a breath test sequence is not completed or the device is left idle for a

prolonged period of time, the device will then terminate the breath test and display Test

timed out. The device will return to the press to test display

The standard breath test time out period is 60 seconds. If a test time out does occur

during a breath test, a new breath test must be performed.

Note

If the self-check is unsuccessful an error code will be displayed, and the device will not

accept a breath sample.

Page 11

REF: Alcolizer HH4 Alcohol Tester User Manual V1 Page 11 © Alcolizer Technology

After taking a deep breath, the test subject places their mouth over the mouthpiece inlet (ribbed end) and blows a gentle to medium breath sample into the mouthpiece (Refer Figure 9).

Figure 9 - Providing A Sample

• The exhaled flow is indicated via a bar graph; showing air flow over time in seconds

(Refer to Figure 10). A beeping sound is also heard during the breath sample delivery phase, indicating a satisfactory breath sample is being delivered.

Figure 10 - Sample Process Bar

• The test subject continues blowing until the device takes a sample of the exhaled

breath volume, indicated by a click and long beep sound.

• The frequency of the sound beeps increases with the intensity of the blow pressure.

Blowing too hard or too soft will result in Invalid Sample Try Again being displayed (Refer Figure 11). The device will return to the Blow screen, another sample can now be taken.
