Performing the Measurement

Conditions

— A new mouthpiece is to be used for every person tested.
— Do not apply too high alcohol concentrations on to sensor, e.g. by rinsing the mouth with
high-strength alcohol shortly before the measurement. By doing so the sensor service life
is reduced.
— Keep sufficient distance to the antennas of mobile phones and transmitting stations.
The TETRA specifications are full filled.

Requirements of the person to be tested

— Maintain a waiting period of at least 20 minutes after drinking alcohol!
Residual alcohol in the mouth can distort the measurement. Aromatic drinks (e.g. fruit
juice), mouth sprays containing alcohol, medicines can interfere with measurements.
Rinsing the mouth with water or non-alcoholic drinks does not reduce this waiting period!
— Before sampling the person to be tested must breathe normally. Quick inhaling and
exhaling through the mouth must be avoided.
— The person to be tested must be able to provide the required minimum air volume of 1.2 L
(factory setting). The breath flow must be constant for at least 2 seconds.
