User Handbook GB

2.2 Useful information on taking a breath sample

with the AlcoBlow®

When the subject blows into the sample cone, the flow

rate is monitored against time. Once the minimum

conditions of flow and time are satisfied a small

sample of breath is taken from the sample cone and

passed to the sensor.

2.3 Taking a breath sample reading - quickly and

accurately

The Lion AlcoBlow®allows contact-free indication of

alcohol in a breath sample. The sample is taken from

a distance of 2.5cm, the person blowing straight into

the sample cone hard enough to trigger the audible

flow alarm and long enough for the Status indicator to

go RED. The alcohol in the sample is analysed and

the presence of alcohol indicated on the display LED

within 5 seconds. This allows for its use where many

people have to be tested quickly for the presence of

alcohol.

Additional function

Apart from indicating whether alcohol is present in a

person’s breath the AlcoBlow®can also be used to

check containers, such as bottles, cans or glasses for

the presence of alcohol.

3 OPERATION

3.1 Getting started

Removing / Inserting batteries

The AlcoBlow®requires the batteries provided to be

fitted prior to first use. After a period of use, if the

Battery Low Indication appears, (flashing Status and

Display Lights) you must replace them with four new

1.5V batteries (LR06, AA).

Removal

Turn the battery cap 90°anticlockwise and take the

cap off. Take out the batteries.

User Handbook GB

Insertion

Put in four new 1.5V batteries (LR06, AA). Make sure

the batteries are the right way around (see the

diagram on the rear label). Put the battery cap 

back on lining the lugs on the case up with the gaps in

the cap and turning the cap 90°clockwise.

WARNING

BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

(Continued)

3.2 Switching On and Off

Switch On

Press the ON / OFF button down for 1 second.

NOTE

During Switch On the device will run

diagnostic checks assuring functions

operate correctly.

Switch Off

Press the ON / OFF button down for 1 second at

any point during the operation of the device.

Automatic Switch Off

The device switches off automatically 2 minutes after

the last operation. Both indicator lights flash and the

alarm sounds to indicate the shutdown process is

taking place.

3.3 Mode of Operation

Active Mode

The subject blows into the sample cone and a

sample is taken automatically for analysis.

•

Keep unused batteries in their packaging

away from metal objects in order to prevent

short circuiting!

•Do not throw used batteries into the

household refuse; put them in a hazardous

waste container or take them to a battery

collection point, at the shop where they were

purchased!

User Handbook GB

Passive Mode

For use when the subject is unable to provide a

sufficient sample for automatic sampling, e.g. an

unconscious patient, or for testing the contents of a

container.

NOTE

During the sample process do not move

the device away from the subject until the

sample has been taken. This avoids

allowing fresh air diluting the sample.

3.4 Active Mode Testing

This mode requires the subject to blow Actively into

the device. It is the most accurate method of

operation.

•Switch on the device using the ON/OFF

button . Once diagnostics are complete the

STATUS light will turn GREEN.

•Hold the device with the sample cone 

2.5cm (1in) directly in front of the subject’s

mouth.

•Tell the subject to blow directly into the

sample cone moderately hard and

continuously. The STATUS light will turn

AMBER if the subject is blowing hard enough.

•Once a correct sample is taken the STATUS

light will turn RED and an audible alarm

(double beep) will indicate the subject can

stop blowing.

•Within 5 seconds the result will be displayed

on the DISPLAY light , the colour of the

light indicating the level of alcohol in the

breath sample. The displayed result is

accompanied by an audible alarm giving an

audible indication of the result. (See 3.7)
