Innomark Gamma - Breathalyzer ACE - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL Innomark Gamma ACE

Each breathalyzer which you buy from ACE Instruments can also be calibrated by ACE instruments. Of course, we also calibrate devices which were bought from other contractors, as long as these devices are identical in construction to the devices sold by ACE instruments.

You can see the due date of the next calibration on the calibration sticker placed on your breathalyzer. If the sticker is missing, the calibration is to be done 6 months after the purchase date; e.g. purchase date: 13.05 - next calibration on the 13.11 and the next on the 13.05 of the following year.

For a calibration service you can send the device to the service address specified at www.komat.net

WHY IS A CALIBRATION NECESSARY?

The calibration is not mandatory, but the accuracy of the sensor installed in the breathalyzer will decrease steadily without a calibration and additionally guarantee expires, if you don't pay attention to the calibration ranges.

WHICH FACTORS INFLUENCE THE MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

• The more often the device is used the more the zero point is influenced.
- The higher the alcohol concentration is, the more the zero point is relocated.
• Devices which are used rarely have a decreased sensibility, too.

ACE Instruments recommends using the breathalyzer at least once (x) a week independently of having drunken alcohol or not. To maintain the measurement accuracy, the breathalyzer should also be calibrated periodically

PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE OF THE SEVERAL FACTORS OF INFLUENCE ON THE MEASURING RESULT

• Alcohol amount
  • Period of the consumption of alcohol
  • Gender
• Age
  • Weight
• Height
• Drinking habits
• Health state
  • Vitality of the liver
• Size of the lung
  • Admission of food during the consumption of alcohol
  • Influence of medicine

IMPORTANT NOTES ON TEST EXECUTION AND SELF-ASSESSMENT

After the est sip of alcohol you should wait at least 15 minutes, as there may still be residual alcohol in the oral cavity, which influences the measurement result. Also smoking should be avoided before a test, as cigarette smoke harms the sensor.

For each test you should use a new mouthpiece – not only for hygienic reasons, but also because an already used mouthpiece can influence the next measurement result. The mouthpiece could contain residual alcohol, which would affect the new test result, when the same mouthpiece is used again (this for example could show an alcoholization of a person who hasn't drunken any alcohol).

F."FLO" appears on the display, the given breath sample was insufficient or enclosed too soon. Blow into the moulpiece for about 4 seconds constantly (without a break) – preferably as + you were whistling without a sound

If the same person performs 2 tests consecutively, then wait at case 3 minutes between the two tests, as a too short waiting time may cause different measurement results. The air exhaust from the lungs is, after a test, no longer enriched with the same alcohol content, as in the previous test. Therefore, an immediate second test will indicate a lower test result.

All measured values determined with this breatha yzer are always indicative and not legally binding.

WHY THE ESTIMATED ALCOHOLIZATION AND THE MEASUREMENT RESULT IN MOST CASES CANNOT MATCH

An alcohol test is affected by a lot of different factors which also affect the test result. Beside the gender; egg, body size and body weight, also the body fat percentage and the amount of body fluid have a big influence.

In addition, the general physical and mental state or the current daily constitution have to be taken into consideration. Furthermore, the most eaten before a breath test (type of content and level of the stomach) and the intake of medication may influence the measurement.

Other influencing factors are, of course, the type of crink (percentage of alcohol content in the beverage and its carbon dioxide and sugar content), the drinking rate and the individual subject's curetion of alcohol build-up or degradation in the body.

Some people quickly have a high alcohol content in the blood, with other people it takes longer until an alcoholization is detected. About 40–50% of the consumed alcohol is in the body within 16 minutes, after 30 minutes it is 65% and after 70 minutes the previously consumed a cohort is 100% absorbed in the body. However, it should also be noted that some people – partly due to genetic factors – quickly reduce the alcohol content in the blood, whereas others still have an increased alcohol content in the blood after a longer period of time.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing our INNOMARK gamma Breathalyzer! I measures the alcohol concentration in human breath using an electrochemical sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level. The test result is very reliable and have a tolerance of 12 + 0.09% (per ml – g/L) with reference to 0.50% at 25^ ambient temperature. The measurement results are displayed with 7 digits and are interpretable 1; 1 (for example the display shows the value 0.36 – 0.36 per ml).

the sensor inside the device can be calibrated. To maintain the measurement accuracy of in a device and the sensor warranty, it should be calibrated regularly. For a calibration service you can send the device to the service address specified at www.wk.com.cn/

The device must only be used pursuant to the instructions mentioned in this manual. All measured values determined by this biobathalyzer, etc. always a guide or any end are not legally binding. Bresin tests should be carried out using clip-on mouthpieces (one new mouthpiece should be used per test for reasons of hygiene and to avoid altered readings).

NOTE TO COUNTRY-SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT UNITS

Customers in the EU receive the breathalyzer with % (per mill) as default, selling in the UK the default, selling is mg/l, and in the USA, it is % RAC. In the chapter "Technical data," you will find information about the accuracy concerning the different measurement units. Please check the website of the Department of Transportation, the website of the Ministry of Transport, or automotive clubs to become informed about the current alcohol limits in your country.

INNOMARK

G) Change the battery if it is depleted. Diminished battery capacity leads to incorrect test results.

11) Do not conduct tests in loud (sound waves disrupt the sensor), drafty, or poorly ventilated places.

i) After a test result of 100 per mill (per mil = FU setting) / 0.10% BAC (% BAC = US setting) / 0.50mg/ (mg/L - UK setting) or higher the sensor needs rest time. In this case wait at least three minutes before starting the next test

J) Do not conduct tests in very cold, very hot, or an unventlated, smoky amplience.

K) Store the breathalyze in a way to avoid penetration by dust or liquids.

Li Blowing too hard may cause damage to the sensor as saline flows into it.

1. Recharge the lithium-ion battery (37V) built into the unit using the supplied charging cable. When starting the charging process, JCH is shown on the display and the battery indicator flashes at the same time, both disappear after a few seconds. As soon as the charging process is completed, you will see the word "FUL_" on the display. Then push the button below the USB cable connection towards (a green background appears, the device can now be used).

2. Insert a mouthpiece into the slot on the left front side of the breathalyzer. Ensure whether it securely fits or not it is highly recommended to use an extra mouthpiece for every test for sanitary reasons.

CONDUCTING THE MEASUREMENT

1. Briefly press the star, button or the fan of the alcohol tester. The device beeps twice and "A_CO" and the battery indicator appear on the display.

2. Press the start button briefly once again, "SH" (= Sensor Heating) aocces briefly, then "S-IS9" and then a countdown starts counting from 30 to 0 (if the sensor needs more time to warm up; the countdown starts at 99). During the countdown the unit beeps every second and the display alternates between READY and BLOW.

3. Once the countdown starts, you can begin the breath test. Blow steady into the previously attached mouthpiece for 4 seconds. Breathe but slowly and without interruption (as if you were whistling without a lone). The device beeps continuously during the breath test.

4. As soon as the beep stops and a click tone and a double beep tone can be near, the test is finished. If the breath samp'd was interrupted or too weak, "110" appears on the csolay. In this case, perform the less again and press the start button for 2 seconds.

5. After a successful breath test, the instrument evaluates the measurement result. The display briefly shows "Only" and then immediately the result in per million (= standard setting of the measuring unit in the EU). The measuring result can be seen for about 60 seconds, then "Al CO" appears again on the display I or a new test, briefly press the start button once.

Note: The device switches of automatically after approx.90 seconds. For another test, simply press the start button once or ify. You can also switch of the device manually by continuously pressing the start button for approx. 4 seconds.

ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS

• Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and test that is conducted. ACE Instruments assume no liability for any damages that may arise when several people use the same mouthpiece for multiple tests.
- Only use the provided individually packages and hygienic mouth pieces. During each test the breacha yzer's internal and external parts come into contact with human secretion (saliva, blood, sweat, etc.)!
- Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece used by another person! You can buy appropriate gloves at ACF-technik (wwwacetechnikde).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

• WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNK ALCOHOL OR, SWOKED A CIGARETTF, WAIT AT I EAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE MEASUREMENT ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCOURA E RESULTS.
  • IF THE TEST RESULT IS 3F LOW 0.0% (PF3 MI - g/) OR 0.0% BAC (US setting) OR 0.05mg/L (UK setting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (%) OR % BAC OB mg/l - depending on the sealing ON THE DISPLAY. THIS APPENS BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOOL CONCENTRAL ON IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR MOUTH.
• This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive measurement device. To maintain the accuracy of the sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is not used for an extended period, the sensor can dry out. ACE Instruments recommends using the breathalyzer at least 2 times per month (even if you have not been drinking alcohol).
• 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.
