countdown.
Out C
This is displayed when the device was started outside
of the approved operating temperature (0 - 40° C).
Repeat the test as soon
as the correct operating
temperature is reached.
Calibration
To maintain the accuracy of the breathalyzer, ACE Instruments recommends a calibration after 500 tests or
approx. every 12 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.
We recommend sending it as a parcel, so that in cases of loss an inquiry or proof of delivery 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.
Battery notices
The device associated with this operating manual contains two AAA Alkaline batteries (1.5 V) in delivery
condition. These batteries are not made for recharging. The use of rechargeable batteries is not possible
with this device and can damage it. If the included batteries are depleted, they must not be thrown into the
household waste. Used batteries may contain harmful substances that can cause environmental or health
damage. Please return all depleted batteries to electrical appliance stores, who collect them for free.
Battery exchange
To replace the batteries, push the battery cover on the back of the unit downwards and replace the
discharged batteries with two new ones. Be aware of the polarity when inserting the batteries (+/- pole). Put
the battery compartment cover on the rear panel and press it gently on the device until it clicks. In the EU
the return of used batteries is mandatory by law. All depleted batteries will be recycled. This way valuable
resources like iron, zinc and nickel can be retrieved and are reusable then. Battery recycling is the easiest
lesson in environmental protection – please support it!
The shown garbage bins mean that batteries must not be thrown into the household waste. The signs
below the garbage bins are acronyms for the chemical substances inside the battery:
Hg: Battery contains Mercury
Cd: Battery contains Cadmium
Pb: Battery contains Lead
