Maintaining your AlcoSense Lite Breathalyser

Re-Calibration

Like any breathalyser, your AlcoSense will require recalibration after a period

of use. We recommend your AlcoSense breathalyser should be re-calibrated

once a year, or more frequently if you use it heavily. If you do not have

your breathalyser recalibrated on time it may read inaccurately.

Recalibration requires speciliast laboratory equipment can only be

performed by an AlcoSense approved service centre. At the time of

printing, recalibration costs £19.99 and takes 5 working days to complete.

To arrange calibration please visit www.alcosense.co.uk/cal or call us on

0800 195 0088.

Keep it Clean

To keep your AlcoSense Lite in tip top condition we recommend cleaning it

regularly using a soft cloth and storing it in a clean, cool dry place not close

to a heat source. We also recommend that you regularly perform an ASC

(Auto Sensor Clean as explained on page 6).

Clean the Sensor

To help maintain the accuracy of the device we recommend you should

perform an ASC regularly to remove any contaminants from the sensor. If

you have not used your breathalyser for several weeks re-activate the sensor

before use. You can find instructions for doing this on page 6.

Be Careful

Take care not to drop the AlcoSense Lite breathalyser as sudden knocks can

affect the unit's accuracy. If you have dropped your AlcoSense Lite and feel

that it is not reading correctly please call us to arrange to have the unit

serviced. When the product is unused, please store it in a cool and dry

environment.

Troubleshooting

The reading I got was lower than I expected.

If the breathalyser is new or it has not been used for an extended period

you will need to activate the sensor, see page 6 of this manual. If you

have activated the sensor perform an Auto Sensor Clean, see page 7 of

this manual. If this does not fix the issue please call us on 0800 1950088.

I have got a positive reading but I haven't drunk any alcohol.

This can be caused by testing within 10 minutes of eating some strong

foods, using dental products, chewing gum or smoking. On some occasions

it can also be caused by the body releasing acetone/keytones released

during the metabolism of acetoacetic acid. This can be increased with the

use of some prescribed medications or certain medical conditions, most

commonly diabetes. A healthy body can also create these substances

occasionally, it is more likely if you are on a low carbohydrate diet such as

the Atkins diet or similar. If you experience this problem please call us.

I'm doing a breath test and it says ERR.

This can be because you are not pressing and holding the blow key while

blowing. If you are pressing and holding the blow key while blowing you

coudl be stopping blowing too soon. Keep blowing and holding the key

until the unit beeps again. If this does not work please call us for

assistance.
