Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our ACE II Basic plus Breathalyzer! It measures the alcohol concentra-
tion in human breath using an electrochemical sensor and calculates the blood alcohol level. The
test results are very
reliable and have a tolerance of +/- 0.05‰ (per mill) with reference to 0.50‰ at 25°C ambient
temperature. The measurement results are displayed as a 4-digit number with 3 decimals and are
interpretable 1: 1
(for example the display shows the value 0.36 = 0.36 per mill).
The 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 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 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) 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 measurement 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 in your country.
