Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our ACE Neo Breathalyzer! It measures
the alcohol concentration in human breath using an electro-
chemical sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level. The test
results are very reliable and have a tolerance of +/- 0.05‰ (per
mill) with reference to 0.50‰ at 25°C ambient temperature. The
measurement results are displayed as a 3-digit number with
2 decimals and are interpretable 1: 1 (for example the display
shows the value 0.36 = 0.36 per mill).
The fuel cell sensor inside the device can be calibrated. To
maintain the measurement accuracy of this device and the
sensor warranty, it should be calibrated regularely. For a cali-
bration 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 men-
tioned in this manual. All measured values determined by this
breathalyzer are always a guide only and are not legally binding.
Breath tests should be carried out using clip-on mouthpieces
(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 get the breathalyzer with ‰ (per mill = g/L)
as default setting, in the UK the default setting is mg/L and in
the USA, it is % BAC. In the chapter „Technical data" you will find
information about the accuracy concerning the different meas-
urement units. Please check e.g. the website of the department
of transportation, the website of the Ministry of Transport or of
automotive clubs to get informed about the current alcohol limits
