When the batteries are discharged the instrument switches automatically off.
Performing the Measurement
Conditions
— A new mouthpiece has to be used for every person tested.
— Do not apply too high alcohol concentrations onto sensor, e.g. by rinsing the mouth with
high-strength alcohol shortly before the measurement. By doing so the sensor service life
is reduced.
— Keep sufficient distance to the antennas of mobile phones and transmitting stations.
Requirements of the person to be tested
— Maintain a waiting period of at least 20 minutes after drinking alcohol!
Residual alcohol in the mouth can distort the measurement. Aromatic drinks (e.g. fruit
juice), mouth sprays containing alcohol, medicines can interfere with measurements.
Rinsing the mouth with water or non-alcoholic drinks does not reduce this waiting period!
— Before sampling the person to be tested must breathe normally. Quick inhaling and
exhaling through the mouth must be avoided.
— The person to be tested must provide the required minimum air volume of 1.2 L (factory
setting). The exhaling breath flow must be constant for at least 2 seconds.
Preparation
● Insert new mouthpiece in the holder (page 8).
● Switch instrument on (page 9).
Followed by the user defined screen.
If the date for next service is expired:
● Unit has to be accuracy checked (see “Fault, Cause, Remedy” on page 24).

Measurement accuracy
Reproducibility with an ethanol standard
up to 50 μg/100 mL 0.8 μg/100 mL or
≥ 50 μg/100 mL 1.7 % of measurement value
the higher value is valid
up to 1.00 ‰ 0.017 ‰ or
≥ 1.00 ‰ 1.7 % of measurement value
the higher value is valid
Sensitivity drift typically 0.6 % of meas. value/month
