COSMOS ALCOHOL TESTER TYPE 2000
Functions INSTRUCTIONS Page 07 / 2005-04-02 TYPE 2000
OPERATION
When a coin (or coins – depending on the setting) is inserted, the left-hand triangle flashes.
You can now take a straw, insert it into the opening and blow into it strongly.
The red lamps on the power display start to light up from the bottom upwards.
Blow until at least 5 red lamps light ("Minimum" level).Your breath is then analysed.
The other ratings – "Sportsman", "Pro" and "Champion" – serve as a fitness test and provide an
even more precise blood alcohol value – the highest level being when both green lamps are lit.
During analysis, the "PLEASE WAIT" panel lights up until the precise results are displayed.
The green, yellow or red triangles also light up according to the test results.
The "Please Wait" panel lights while the measurement cell regenerates (this takes from 20-60
seconds, depending on the level of alcohol in the breath).
Another coin cannot be inserted while the machine is "recovering". As soon as the testing cell is
ready, the "Please Wait" sign goes out and the three stripes on the display light up. The alcohol
tester is then ready for use again.
MEASUREMENT
The measurements are taken by an electro-chemical cell with long-time-stability.
A micro-processor carries out the actual analysis and converts the breath alcohol level
into a blood alcohol reading..
MEASUREMENT PRECISION
Range 0 - 1.0 ‰ ± 5 % of the measured value. Our newly developed measurement system
provides a level of precision close to that previously only achievable with very expensive
technology (e.g. infrared systems).
VERY SHORT MEASUREMENT INTERVALS
Completely new developments in the rapid regeneration of electro-chemical cells enable the
intervals between tests to be reduced, as a rule, to only 10-20 seconds.
THE RESULTS CANNOT BE MANIPULATED
Measuring the alveolar breath.(breath from deep in the lungs) provides the closest correlation
between the breath alcohol and blood alcohol levels. The microprocessor must therefore measure
the breath’s pressure, volume and duration. The actual analysis only takes place when all these
three elements have been measured and the alveolar breath is available. If the test person’s
exhalation is too weak, interrupted or too short, the test is abandoned.
The test can be repeated without more money being inserted.
Drink no alcohol for 20 minutes before the test and do not smoke!
Traces of alcohol remaining in the mouth cause erroneous readings!
Repeat the test again after 20 minutes to check that your blood alcohol level has not increased!
VERY EASY TO MAINTAIN
All the functions are automatically checked by a self-diagnostic program, thanks to
microprocessor technology. The lamps can be tested simply by pressing a button. Calibration is
fully automatic.
Safe to operate – easy to maintain – vandal-proof
