Making Measurement
Requirements
– Use a new mouthpiece for each test subject.
– Do not expose the sensor to high alcohol concentrations, e.g. by
rinsing the mouth with high-proof alcoholic beverages just before
starting the measurement. This reduces the sensor service life.
– Keep sufficient distance from transmitters and mobile phone an-
tennas.
Requirements for the Test Subject
– Maintain a waiting period of at least 15 minutes after drinking al-
cohol!
– Alcohol residues within the mouth may cause incorrect measure-
ment values. Incorrect measurements can also happen after the
test subject burps or vomits, drinks aromatic beverages (e.g. fruit
juices), uses alcoholic mouth spray, or consumes medical syrup
or drops. Rinsing out the mouth with water or non-alcoholic bev-
erages will not help reduce the waiting period!
Before sampling, the test subject should breathe normally and calmly.
Rapid inhaling and exhaling through the mouth is to be avoided.
The test subject must be able to provide the required minimum respiratory volume of 1.2 L. For this purpose, the breathing flow must be
constant for a certain minimum blowing period.
Automatic Measurement
The sampling is automatically triggered after reaching the minimum
respiratory volume and the minimum blowing period.
Preparation
• Insert a new mouthpiece into the mouth-
piece connection (see page 6).
• Switch on the device (see page 6).

• After two seconds, "WAIT" appears on the
display.
• After six seconds, "READY" appears on
the display and a short acoustic signal
sounds. Simultaneously, the current test
number is displayed. The green lamp
flashes. The device is ready to start the
measurement.
Performing the Measurement
• The test subject must breathe evenly and continuously into the
mouthpiece. A continuous tone sounds and the green lamp flashes
when a sufficient breathing flow volume has been reached.
"Blow" appears on the display while the breath
sample is taken.
After delivering a sufficient breath sample, the
green lamp goes out and the continuous tone
falls silent.
"WAIT Analyzing" appears on the display.
Test Result
After 5 to 25 seconds (depending on the device
temperature and the measured concentration),
the measuring result appears on the display.
Errors during Breath Sample Delivery
If the breath sample volume is insufficient,
"Insufficient Volume" appears on the display.
A horn sounds briefly and the red lamp
flashes.

• To repeat the breath sample, press the button.
The device can be used again after approx. four seconds.
When exhaling unsteadily, e.g. by abruptly
stopping to exhale or by sucking towards the
end of the breath sample, "Blow Interruption"
appears on the display.
A horn sounds and the red lamp flashes.
To repeat the breath sample, press the button. The device can
be used again after 4 to 30 seconds.
Further Measurement
• Press the button to prepare a new
measurement. During the recovery period
of the sensor (see "Technical Data" on
page 13), "WAIT" appears on the display
Removing the Mouthpiece
• Push the mouthpiece upwards out of the mouthpiece holder.
• Dispose of the mouthpiece according to the local regulations.
Errors
An error message indicates malfunctions of
the device.
The number below the message is for service
purposes. Contact Dräger if switching the
device off and on several times fails to restore
normal operation.
Notice
Temporarily switching off the device will not reduce the waiting
period!

Maintenance
Maintenance Intervals
As required:
• Replace the batteries, see page 11.
Annually:
• Have the device calibrated at least once a year, as the measuring
inaccuracy increases gradually due to drift factors.
Only authorised persons may carry out the calibration.
We recommend commissioning Dräger for servicing the device.
Storage
• The device consumes a small amount of current even when
switched off. Therefore, remove the batteries if the device will not
be used for a longer period of time.
Cleaning
• Do not dip the device into liquids and do not allow the connection
sockets to get wet!
For cleaning:
• Wipe the device with a disposable cloth.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol or solvents.
Notice
If case of long-term storage:
Remove the batteries from the device if it will not be used for more
than six months. This prevents possible damage to the device
caused by leaking battery acid.
bb
Replacing the Batteries
Insert a new battery when using an alkaline cell as power supply and
the battery symbol on the display indicates "empty".
• Gently press the lock on the battery cover and remove the cover.
• Remove the used batteries and insert new ones
– ensure correct polarity!
• Close the battery cover.
Required batteries:
2 x 1.5 V alkaline cells (Mignon, LR6, AA)
.
Dispose of batteries as special waste according to local waste disposal regulations.
Information can be obtained at local environmental protection agencies and town clerk offices as well as at suitable waste disposal companies.
Always have spare batteries at hand to be able to immediately continue use of the device after the first set of batteries is spent.
How to Dispose of the Device
Since August 2005, regulations concerning the disposal of
electrical and electronic devices have come into force in the
entire European Union; these regulations are specified in
the Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and in
national laws relating to this device.
Special collection and recycling possibilities have been established
for private households.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Do not throw used alkaline cells into open fire, do not recharge
them and do not try to force them open.
