OPERATING CONDITIONS

The COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER calculates blood alcohol levels rapidly and reliably by
measuring the level of alcohol in the breath. The machine is designed for use in warm/heated rooms
with an ambient temperature of 18-25° C. For correct results, the user should
drink no alcohol for 20 minutes and
not smoke for at least 5 minutes before the test.
If these instructions are not observed, the results can be severely affected by traces of alcohol
remaining in the mouth. If any alcohol in liquid form is blown in, this can lead to temporary

breakdown of the equipment. The machine should be left switched on and you should blow into
the machine strongly about 10 times TO SPEED UP REMOVAL OF THE LIQUID FROM
THE TESTING CYLINDER. The heating bulb will then evaporate the rest of the alcohol
(liqueur gums up the pump!!)
FOR YOUR SAFETY

Familiarise yourself with these operating instructions before using this equipment.
The equipment should only be used as described.
Only use "ORIGINAL COSMOS PARTS" for any repairs.

LIABILITY FOR OPERATION AND DAMAGE

If the equipment has been incorrectly maintained or repaired, liability for its operation falls on the

Congratulations

COSMOS

ALCOHOL

TESTE

We congratulate you on the acquisition of your

COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER,

the latest, state of the art, breath alcohol analyser

A machine that provides not just security but also some fun for your customers and
turns their fun into money for you.

This remarkable machine is the result of many years of experience in the marketing and servicing
of alcohol testers..

It is safe to operate, easy to maintain, vandal-proof and produces high returns.

From our own extensive experience, an ideal location for the machine is beside or on the way to
the toilets. Almost every customer will pass the machine at some point during the evening and the
first couple of hours in the pub provide a customer with ample opportunity to try it out.
At this time, most of them will not keep to the delay required between their “last drink” and the
test so there is usually a lot of fun when the results show levels of , say 5.5‰.

The important point for responsible drivers, however, is that they can rely on the results when
they use the equipment properly.
So, as a rule, when they go to the toilet again before leaving the pub, they will remember to
"BLOW" again, just to be on the safe side.

If, based on the reading, they then decide to get a lift home or take a taxi, they will just
remember the good time they have had, so our machine helps to encourage all your
customers to come back again (with their car!).

Once a COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER has been installed, customers are more careful about
when they should drive but are not discouraged from drinking – whether they are drinking beer,
wine or shorts.
On the contrary, they can have fun trying out this new machine again and again just to see how
inebriated they actually are.

In Germany, because it is not games or entertainment equipment:
OUR ALCOHOL TESTER IS ONLY SUBJECT TO VAT (currently 16 %). THERE ARE
NO OTHER DUTIES OR CHARGES AND NO TIME RESTRICTIONS.

The police also use the same electro-chemical measurement cell, among other things.

COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER TYPE 2000

Installation & Maintenance

INSTRUCTIONS PAGE 04 / 2005-04-02 / TYPE 2000

COSMOS

ALCOHOL

TESTE

COMMISSIONING

Your newly delivered machine is already calibrated and ready for use

Check that all the connectors are correctly plugged in (see the cable connections sheet).
Connect the equipment to the mains – the hardware is tested automatically; the numerical display
shows " - - - " and the "Please Wait" panel lights.
According to the room temperature, the rest of the lights will illuminate after approximately 30
seconds and the "Please Wait" light will go out. The equipment is now ready for use.
However, the normal operating temperature of about 34° must be reached before precise readings
can be obtained: this takes about one hour. A 25 Watt electric light bulb provides the heat.

Incidentally

We recommend that, when your COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER is delivered, your staff place
the machine on a table and run through the functions following the operating instructions. If they
are still unclear about anything, they can always phone us; we are there to help.

Location

The machine's location is crucial to its "success".
Always install it on the way to or near the toilets (but not actually in the facilities)
This ensures that every customer will pass it several times during the evening.

Fixing

The machine is installed using an installation frame. - No special tools are required.
To hang up the machine, unscrew the screws on the back approximately 1 cm, then tighten the
flat nut onto the wooden rear panel. Uncouple the cable connections to the boards (in the door)
and then remove the door so that the casing is easier to install. Then reconnect the cable
connections.

(For connections to the power supply, loudspeaker and coin mechanism see the instructions
on page 5.)

Lastly, don’t forget to screw in the central screw (to prevent theft!!)

Socket

Install a socket above the machine about 2.2 m above the floor or just above the skirting board
(to ensure that the plug cannot be pulled out easily as a joke). We recommend that you use a
switched socket.

Maintenance

This is simple and involves, at most, regularly refilling the machine with straws and recalibrating
it after a certain number of tests (every 6-8 weeks).
Calibration only takes 2-3 minutes and can easily be carried out by any employee – without any
technical knowledge required (see the operating instructions "Calibrating with the gas
calibrator").

Disposal

Because of the COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER’s durability, this will not be required for several
years, but when it does become necessary, do not throw the battery and the sensor away with the
general rubbish: instead return them to Cosmos and we will dispose of them for you.

OPERATION

When a coin (or coins – depending on the setting) is inserted, the left-hand triangle flashes.
You can now take a straw, insert it into the opening and blow into it strongly.
The red lamps on the power display start to light up from the bottom upwards.
Blow until at least 5 red lamps light ("Minimum" level).Your breath is then analysed.
The other ratings – "Sportsman", "Pro" and "Champion" – serve as a fitness test and provide an
even more precise blood alcohol value – the highest level being when both green lamps are lit.
During analysis, the "PLEASE WAIT" panel lights up until the precise results are displayed.
The green, yellow or red triangles also light up according to the test results.
The "Please Wait" panel lights while the measurement cell regenerates (this takes from 20-60
seconds, depending on the level of alcohol in the breath).
Another coin cannot be inserted while the machine is "recovering". As soon as the testing cell is
ready, the "Please Wait" sign goes out and the three stripes on the display light up. The alcohol
tester is then ready for use again.

MEASUREMENT

The measurements are taken by an electro-chemical cell with long-time-stability.
A micro-processor carries out the actual analysis and converts the breath alcohol level
into a blood alcohol reading..

MEASUREMENT PRECISION

Range 0 - 1.0 ‰ ± 5 % of the measured value. Our newly developed measurement system
provides a level of precision close to that previously only achievable with very expensive
technology (e.g. infrared systems).

VERY SHORT MEASUREMENT INTERVALS

Completely new developments in the rapid regeneration of electro-chemical cells enable the
intervals between tests to be reduced, as a rule, to only 10-20 seconds.

THE RESULTS CANNOT BE MANIPULATED

Measuring the alveolar breath.(breath from deep in the lungs) provides the closest correlation
between the breath alcohol and blood alcohol levels. The microprocessor must therefore measure
the breath’s pressure, volume and duration. The actual analysis only takes place when all these
three elements have been measured and the alveolar breath is available. If the test person’s
exhalation is too weak, interrupted or too short, the test is abandoned.

The test can be repeated without more money being inserted.
Drink no alcohol for 20 minutes before the test and do not smoke!

Traces of alcohol remaining in the mouth cause erroneous readings!
Repeat the test again after 20 minutes to check that your blood alcohol level has not increased!

VERY EASY TO MAINTAIN

All the functions are automatically checked by a self-diagnostic program, thanks to
microprocessor technology. The lamps can be tested simply by pressing a button. Calibration is
fully automatic.

Safe to operate – easy to maintain – vandal-proof

COSMOS

ALCOHOL

TESTE

Your newly delivered alcohol tester is already calibrated and ready
for use.

It should be recalibrated every 6-8 weeks after initial commissioning (to obtain precise values, the
equipment must have been switched on for at least 60 minutes). - The gas simulator has to be
filled with an alcohol testing solution (140 ml) from COSMOS AUTOMATEN.
( Solution 1.00 0/00 // 0.10 % // 0.50 mg/l )
The fluid’s temperature should be 18-30 °. – Now prepare the machine:
Press: “OK” then “+” twice; “CAL” is displayed
Press “OK” again; a number is displayed
Use “+” or “–” to set the correct value ( see below )
Press “OK” again; the arrow flashes and the equipment is ready for calibration.
Insert the end of the test mouthpiece into the blow hole and blow into it strongly; the first red
lamp lights. Now blow gas from the test bottle into this opening for about 5 seconds without
interruption until the green lamp on the power display lights.

• The new value is set automatically by the fully automatic calibration procedure.

• Foam should never be allowed to reach the outlet hole while blowing.

• Blowing in fluid interrupts the operation of the chemical cell for about one hour (E 01 is displayed)

Should this occur, leave the COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER switched on and blow into it
strongly ten times using a straw. Any remaining liquid will be evaporated by the electric
light bulb. The equipment resets itself automatically every 10 minutes. When the three
strips light up the tester is again ready for use. The machine sustains no significant damage.

To avoid inaccurate measurements, do not use at temperatures below 16° C

CHECKING THE CALIBRATION (MEASUREMENT CHECKS)

When the machine is in Ready status, i.e. display shows: " - - - " ,
Now press the “TEST” button and introduce gas from the test bottle: As with calibration .
Deviation from the calibration values by max ± 10%. – Otherwise repeat calibration.

To ensure that it operates correctly, the machine should be calibrated every 6 months. If the ALCOHOL TESTER is
usually left unsupervised, we recommend calibration every 2 months. Once you have completed a calibration, always
seal the gas simulator carefully on both sides (to avoid the danger of evaporation).

WARNING

Store the filled simulator in a refrigerator- to avoid evaporation.

The police also use the same electro-chemical measurement cell, among other things

Please do not use the same fluid for longer than one month or more than 30 times for calibration.

The Cosmos Gas Simulator serves to simulate a human breath sample and therefore provides a low­cost calibration procedure.

The gas simulator provides a controlled alcohol reference gas for the calibration of breath alcohol
measuring devices. Air is passed through an ethanol-in-water solution of a precisely known
concentration and temperature. The air absorbs ethanol and water vapour in a defined concentration
for the calibration of breath alcohol measuring devices.

The police also use the same electro-chemical measurement cell, among other things.

in small steps TYP 2000

GEB-ANL E 09 c Kal. in kl. Schritten / Typ 2000 E

Calibration must take place every 6 month in order to ensure accurate measurement.
However, Cosmos recommends calibration every 6 – 8 weeks, i.e. at the same intervals as service staff
arrive to refill straws, to remove money and to calibrate.

The individual steps:

1. Prepare the gas simulator

a. Fill the gas simulator bottle (Instructions, page 9b) with test fluid up to 140 ml.
b. Read off the temperature on the thermometer, then determine the corresponding calibration

settings in the table (Instructions, page 9a – Calibration settings).

2. Prepare COSMOS Alcohol Tester

(Wiring instructions, page 8)
Switch using the buttons on the motherboard (page 11 with + and – and OK and Test)

a. On the motherboard, switch to CAL

(1x “OK” // and 2x “+” = CAL)

b. Now “OK” = old value
c. Set to new value with “+” or “-”

(see table page 9a)

d. 1x “OK” – now the small triangle flashes

3. Calibration

Place the tip of the gas simulator (Instructions page 9b / No. 3) at the device blow hole on the
Cosmos Alcohol Tester.
Blow once strongly to start the LED column, then continue to blow evenly until the green LEDs at
the top are reached.

Foam should never be allowed to reach the outlet hole while blowing.

CAL appears again to indicate that automatic calibration is completed.
Now press “+” 5x until “END” appears.
Now press “OK” 1x so that
3 dashes then appear and the device is ready to use again.

4. Test whether calibration was successful

Press the test button – a small triangle starts to flash.
Attach the gas simulator and blow.

The value displayed must correspond to the previously set value (2c).
(Maximum deviation ± 10% - otherwise repeat calibration)

If a guest should complain that

”the machine is nuts – the readings are completely wrong”

you can quickly determine with the gas simulator

and the test described above

whether the machine or the guest is “nuts”.

COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER TYPE 2000
Self-diagnosis system INSTRUCTIONS Page 10 / 2005-04-02 / TYPE 2000

All error messages are automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes.
The equipment then carries out a self-check, particularly with regard to E O 1 (which is generally
caused by alcoholic fluid being blown into the machine), to determine whether its operating status
has been restored by “warming up” (evaporating the fluid, etc.).

Warning!! Error messages can be caused not only by faults within the COSMOS machine itself, but also by
electromagnetic interference from other unshielded equipment in the vicinity.
Whenever a fault appears, switch the equipment off and then back on again.
If this does not eliminate the fault, follow the procedures described below.
Before attempting any of the troubleshooting measures described, always remove a fuse (from the power supply
circuit).

Display Cause Troubleshooting measures
None No current Check the cable, plug and socket,

the fuses on the cover and possibly
the F 3.15A 5x20mm power supply fuses

E 01 Alcohol in the sensor Leave the equipment switched on so that the heating system
(light bulb) can evaporate the alcohol more rapidly.

Clear the system by blowing strongly into the blow hole using a
straw (10 times or more), even if initially there is no display at
all. This removes residual alcohol from the testing cylinder.

E 04 Pump breakdown Switch the equipment off and then on again - pump OK now?.
If not, carefully use a small screwdriver to turn one of the gear
wheels in the motor, provided the slack point has not been
passed. If there is still no change, replace the board.
The pump is then probably gummed up with residue from some
fluid blown in (e.g cola or liqueur).

E 05 Defective pressure sensor Replace the mother board.

E 12 Defective or empty This only applies if there is a built-in straw dispenser.

Refill the straw dispenser. Alternatively, the bridging plug
( between pins 3&4 may be faulty.

If the fault remains, call Cosmos Service.
