S80 Pro Operating Instructions | BACTRACK Breathalyzers

Below are basic operation guidelines for the BACTRACK Breathalyzer. For more details instructions and explanations, please read the BACTRACK S80 Pro Breathalyzer Owner’s Manual.

	IMPORTANT Users must wait 20 minutes after eating, drinking, or smoking before blowing into the BACTRACK Breathalyzer. Failure to wait 20 minutes can provide inaccurate test results and damage the sensor.

	STEP 1 Insert a mouthpiece into the Mouthpiece In slot It is recommended to insert a new mouthpiece before each test.

	STEP 2 Press the start button. The BACTRACK will quickly display the total number of tests performed, and then begin a countdown.

	STEP 3 When the countdown approaches 2, begin to inhale a deep breath.

	STEP 4 When the countdown reaches zero, “START” will flash and the screen will display three lines. Blow through the mouthpiece for five seconds until there is a double beep sound.

	STEP 5 Once the sensor has analyzed the breath sample, the estimated BAC value is displayed.
The displayed result is an estimate of the test subject’s BAC. A breath alcohol tester cannot determine the exact BAC in the blood of the test subject. Correlation between BrAC and BAC depends on many factors, such as temperature and health conditions. Therefore, only use this device as a tool to screen for the presence of alcohol. Many people consider a 0.02% or greater a positive test for alcohol in “zero tolerance” screening. Most states have 0.08% as the legal BAC limit for tasks such as operating a motor vehicle. Some states prohibit driving commercial vehicles or any vessel with a 0.04% BAC or higher. Many states and countries prosecute individuals for driving under the influence at any level.

Powering Off To turn the power off at any time, press the start button.

ERROR NOTIFICATIONS

	If a user does not blow a sufficient breath sample, the LCD will display “FLo”. Press start to restart the countdown cycle and retest.

	If there is no breath sample blown within 15 seconds, the LCD will display “Out”. Press start to restart the countdown cycle and retest.

	If the unit is powered on outside of the acceptable temperature range (0-40 °C or 32-104 °F) the unit will display Out°F and testing cannot be performed.

	If the battery indicator display is empty, install two new alkaline AA batteries.

ADVANCED MENU OPTIONS

The BACTRACK offers several user-adjustable features through Menu Mode. To enter Menu Mode, turn on the BACTRACK and during the countdown hold MODE for 5 seconds. To move between Menu Mode options, press MODE.
	Units of Measure By default, the BACTRACK will display test results in %BAC, which is the standard in North America and in many other regions. To change to a different unit of measure, press START. You can select Promille (0/00) or mg/L as alternate units of measure.

	Audible Warnings By default, the BACTRACK does not sound an audible warning after a specific %BAC result. To set an audible warning after a specific %BAC test result, press START to cycle through %BAC values.

	Blow Time The default blow time is 5 seconds. A longer blowing time generally provides a deep lung air sample and a more accurate test result. To adjust the blow time, press START.

Flow Detection Settings

	Use this option to adjust how hard a user is required to blow. Press Start to change the settings.

	Standard level flow detection This is the default setting for the unit.

	High level flow detection Press Start to change to the high level flow setting. This level requires a more forceful breath by the user.

	User activated test mode Press Start again to change to the USER activated test mode. When testing in this mode the operator must press Start during a breath sample to activate the pump and perform a test.

	Low level flow detection Press Start again to change to the low level flow setting. This level requires a less forceful breath by the user. This setting is helpful for subjects with decreased lung capacity and can also be helpful if a user has received the FLo error result.
