Important Notice - ACE Instruments ACE one Manual De Instrucciones

ACE Instruments recommends
Always use a new mouthpiece for each person and test that is conducted. ACE Instruments
assumes no liability for any damages which arise when several people use the same mouth-
piece for multiple tests.
Only use the provided single packed and hygienic mouthpieces (more are available at www.
alkomat.net). During each test the Breathalyzer'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 ACE 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 EX-
PIRATION OF THE RECOMMENDED WAITING PERIOD WILL RESULT IN INACCURATE RESULTS.
IF THE TEST RESULT IS BELOW 0.10‰ (PER MILL) OR 0.050 mg/L (UK settting) OR 0.010%
BAC (US setting) THEN THE DEVICE SHOWS 0.00 (‰ OR mg/L OR % BAC – depending on the
setting) ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE AT A LOW RANGE OF ALCOHOL CONCEN-
TRATION IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR MOUTH.
This breathalyzer is a high quality and sensitive measurement device. To maintain the accura-
cy of the fuel cell sensor, it should regularly be used. If the device is not used for an extended
period of time, the sensor can dry out. ACE recommends to use 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.
Only the usage of original ACE Instruments mouthpieces
Guarantees test result accuracy
Guarantees 100 % hygenity

ACE INSTRUMENTS ADVISES
EVEN IF YOU GET A RESULT MEANING „SAFE RANGE", YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE AFTER
CONSUMING ALCOHOL OR DO ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE SEVERELY IMPAIRED BY
ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND MIGHT ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY OR THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHERS.

1. The test result is displayed in % BAC (US setting).
2. The measure unit is set to the regional standard (% BAC = US setting).
3. Green: Ready. The green LED will turn on when the device is ready for a test and also if the
test result is below the warning
4. Yellow: Battery low. The yellow warn LED will flicker if the battery voltage is low. Please
replace both AAA 1.5 V Alkaline batteries.
5. Red: Warning. If the result is over 0.05 % BAC (US setting), the red WARN LED will light up.
Calibration
To maintain the accuracy of the breathalyzer, ACE Instruments recommends a calibration
after 500 tests or approx. every 6 months (depending which incident happens first). For a
calibration service
you can send the device to ACE Instruments (see www.alkomat.net). The calibration is not
mandatory, but the accuracy of the breathalyzer will decrease steadily without it and additio-
nally the warranty for the sensor expires.
We recommend sending it as a parcel, so that in cases of loss an inquiry or proof of deli-
very is possible.
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 this Breathalyzer and must react accordingly.
