INNOMARK delta - Breathalyzer ACE - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL INNOMARK delta ACE

Each preestalyzer 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.

I or a calibration service you can send the device to the service address specified at www.alkomatnet.

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 (1x) 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
  • le qnt
• Drinking habits
• Health state
  • Vitality of the liver
• Size of the lung
  • Admission of food during the consumption of alcohol
  • Influence of medicine

EN – Important Notes

IMPORTANT NOTES ON TEST EXECUTION AND SELF-ASSESSMENT

After the last 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 hygiene reasons, but also because an already used mouthpiece can influence the next measurement result. The mouthpiece could contain residual a cone, 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).

If Err ^a appears on the display, the given breath sample was insufficient or ended too soon. Blow into the mouthpiece for about 4 seconds constantly (without a break) preferably as if you were whistling without a sound.

If the same person performs 2 tests consecutive y, then wait at least 3 m nules between the two tests, as a too short waiting time may cause different measurement results. The air oxaloed 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.

A I measured values determined with this breathalyzer 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, age, 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 meals eaten before a breath lost (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 drink (percentage of alcohol content in the beverage and its carbon dioxide and sugar content), the drinking rate and the individual subject's duration 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 alcohols in the body within 15 minutes, after 30 minutes it is 65% and after 70 minutes, no previous y consume alcohol s 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 cella Breathalyzer! It measures the alcohol concentration in human breath using an electrochemical sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level. The test results are very reliable and have a tolerance of - / 0.06% BAC (per mil = g/L) with reference to 0.50% BAC at 25^ ambient temperature. The measurements, results are displayed as 3-digit number with 2 decima s are are inoperable 1:1 (for example the display shows the value 0.36 - 0.36 per mill).

The sensor ins do the cov cc can be cal brated. To maintain the measurement accuracy of this device and the sensor warranty, i should be calibrated regularly. I or a calibration service you can send the device to the service address specified at www.alkomat.net.

The device must only be used pursuant to the instructions mentioned in this manual. All measured values determined by this brca.halyzer are always a guide only and are not legally binding. Broath tests should be carried out using clip on mouthp oocs (one new mouthpiece should be used per test for reasons of hygiene and to avoid falsified readings).

NOTE TO COUNTRY-SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT UNITS

Customers in the EU receive the pre-ethalyzer with % BAC (per mil) as default setting, in the UK the default setting is mg/L and in the USA, it's % BAC. 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.

TIPS TO RECEIVE THE MOST ACCURACTE RESULTS

A) Wait at least 15 minutes after your last sip of alcohol.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during that time.
B) Do not open the casing
C) Do not keep the breathalyzer in cold, hot, moist, or bady ventilated paces.
D) Keep the breathalyzer out of the reach of children.
E) Conduct three inlet tests after long storage before conducting the actual alcohol test.
F) Do not crop the breathalyzer
G) Charge the battery T it is depleted. Diminished battery capacity leads to incorrect test results
H) Do not conduct tests in loud (sound waves disrupt the sensor), drafty, or poorly ventilated places.
1) After a test result of 1.00 per mill (per mill - EU setting) / 0.10% BAC (% BAC = US setting) / 0.50mg/L (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 unventilated, smoky amolence.
K) Store the breathalyzer in a way to avoid penetration by dust or liquids.
L) Bowing too hard may cause damage to the sensor as saliva flows into it.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover (on the back of the unit) down and insert 3 AAA (alkaline, 1.5 V) batteries into the battery compartment. When inserting and replacing old batteries with now ones, always observe the polarity (+/ ) of the batteries
2. Place a mouthpiece on the side opening for attaching the mouthpieces (- the opening on the left side of the front of the unit). Make sure that the mouthpiece is tight. Use a new mouthpiece for each test person (for hygienic reasons and to maintain the accuracy of the measurement, as a used mouthpiece could contain residual carbon inside).

CONDUCTING THE MEASUREMENT

1. Sensor initialization

Turn on the device by pushing the Power button for 2 seconds. The sensor in tization will start automatically and reset the sensor into a better working state. The display shows the following picture:

Note: The sensor initialization time is determined dynamically.

• If the device was not used for a long period of time, the initialization time will be longer.
• During the use of the device, the sensor initialization time depends on the last test concentration. If the last test result was high, the initialization time will be longer in order to reset the sensor and make the test result more accurate, but the longest initialization time won't exceed 90 seconds.

Tip: Alarm level setting

During the sensor in realization mode, you can keep pressing the "V" button for 2 seconds and so you can enter the alarm level setting mode. Shortly press the "V" button to select the alarm level b2, b3, bb or b8. After the selection you can press the power button to start a new test.

b2 Means alarm level is set at 0.20‰ BAC (= 0.020% BAC or 0.100mg/L)

b3 Means a arm level is set at 0.30‰ BAC (- 0.030% BAC or 0.150mg/L)

b5 Means a arm level is set at 0.50‰ BAC (= 0.050% BAC or 0.250mg/L) - default setting

b8 Means a arm level is set at 0.80‰ BAC (- 0.080% BAC or 0.400mg/L)

2. Breath sampling

After the sensor initial zation, "BLOW" flashes for about 25 seconds together with beep tones and the device is ready to test. Please carry out the measurement within this period. Blow continuously and without interruption through the mouthpiece for about 5 seconds, a long beep tone sounds continuously while blowing. Tip: Blow like you would whistle without, a lone (but without a break).

25 → 00

Only stop blowing when the beep tore stops together and when the dynamic progress bar is full displayed (see images below). When you hear two bees sounds and fee

the vibration of the motor, the breath sample was successful and the test result will be displayed accordingly. The following pictures show the dynamic progress bar display on the display while blowing:

graph LR
    A["Input SLOU"] --> B["Output SLOU"]
    C["Input SLOU"] --> D["Output SLOU"]

• The device will put itself off automatically, if the user fails to start the blowing test within 25 seconds.
- "Err" will be displayed when the oblowing process is interrupted. You need to start a new test. If the test was successful you will see the test result (see e.g. the right, image below).

• As soon as the test result or „Err“ is shown on the display, you can press the Power button for a new test. If you keep pressing the button for 2 seconds, the device is put off.
• When "Tn" or the test result is shown on the display, the device will put itself off automatically if there's no any operation within 30 seconds
• As soon as the test result is shown on the display, you can press the "M" button to switch the measurement units between mg/l, % BAC or % BAC. The next test result will be shown in the unit you chose at last. The default setting of a new device is % BAC (g/l - per mill)
• When the test result is shown on the display, you can review the last test records (up to 10 records can be saved). Just keep pressing the "M" button for 2 seconds.

EN – Operating Manual

INNOMARK

3. Display of test result

If the test result exceeds the alarm level, the screen background turns red and flashes 10 times together with a beep sound. If the test result is lower than the alarm level, the screen background is blue.

• The reading range is 0.00% BAC - 4.00% BAC (= 4.00 g/L or 4.00 per mil).
• "4.00% BAC" will be shown if the reeding is higher than 4.00% BAC.
• "0.00% BAC" will be shown if the reacing is lower than 0.05% BAC.

For example, if the alarm level is set at 0.50% BAC (-0.05% BAC or 0.250mg/L), the test result will be shown as following

% BAK Result <0.050% BAC,no alarmResult > 0.050% BAC,alarm
mg/L Result <0.250mg/L, noalarmResult > 0.250mg/l ,alarm

4. Test records review

When the test result is displayed, you can press the "M" button for 2 seconds to enter the memory mode. Then shortly press the "M" button repeatedly to review the last stored records (maximum 10 records), the number of each record and its test reading will flash on the display alternatively.

For example, if the first record is 0.25% BAC, then "0" and the BAC reading "0.25" flashes alternatively, "no second test result is stored, then the display shows"—", (see following images).

-0 1- → 0.25 % BAC -02- → --- % BAC

Memory mode

Note: The stored record is FIFO (first in first out), so the tenth record will overwrite the first one and so on. AI records will be deleted automatically if the batteries are removed or reset the device.

If you opened the memory recall mode and press no other button within 30 seconds, then the device will put self off automatcally.

ACE INSTRUMENTS RECOMMENDS

• Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and test that is conducted. AC= Instruments assumes no liability for any damages that may arise when several people use the same mouthpiece for multiple tests
• Only use the provided individually packaged and hygienic mouthpieces. During each test the breathalyzer's internal and external parts come into contact with human secretion (saiva, blood, swca, etc).
• Use safety gloves when pulling out a mouthpiece used by another person! You can buy appropriate gloves at AC ^- Technik (www.ace-technik.de).

IMPORTANT NOTICE

• WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN, DRUNKEN ALCOHOL OR SMOKED A CIGARETTE, WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE MEASUREMENT, ANY TEST CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING PERIOD WILL RESUIT IN INACCURATI RESULTS
• IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0.05% BAC (PER MILL - g/L) OR 0.005% BAC (US setting) OR 0.025mg/L (UK setting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (% OR % BAC OR mg/L - depending on the setting) ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION IT'S POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OTI IFRMATERIALS IN YOUR MOUT.
• 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 of 1 mo, the sensor can dry out. ACF 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. The user is responsible for recognizing discrepancies between the operating manual and the actual handling of the breathalyzer and must react accordingly.
