SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to comply with the warnings and precautions in this manual
may cause personal injury, product damage, voiding of product warranty or a
failed calibration.
GENERAL
•The ALCOSIM breath alcohol simulator is intended for authorized technicians only
•Use the ALCOSIM simulator for its intended purpose only
•Use parts specied by ACS only
•Before use, check that the simulator power supply rating (24Vdc, 2.5A) conforms to
local supply ratings
•Do not disassemble product, except as specied
•Do not attempt to repair product; you must contact an authorized service provider
•It is recommended that calibration be done indoors, in a service facility
COMPRESSED GAS SAFETY
•Damaged or broken valves can turn a canister into an unguided missile. Attach the
valve in a safe location
•Calibration should be performed indoors, in a service facility, where the gas
standard cylinder can be properly stored
•Transportation and storage of compressed gases in vehicles is dangerous and
should be avoided
•Examine the canister and valve for any damage; pay close attention to the
expiration date on the label
•Observe all cautions and safety warnings found on the canister
•Never remove or alter canister labels
•Never modify the rigid delivery tube in any way
•Always remove the valve and install the protective cap on cylinders when not in use
•Store cylinders in a cool, well ventilated area, away from sources of heat
ALCOSIM SETUP, USAGE AND DISASSEMBLY
•CAUTION! When assembling, disassembling or preparing the ALCOSIM breath
alcohol simulator for use, ensure that it is not plugged into an electrical outlet
•CAUTION! Hot surface – avoid contact with the heating element
•Place the ALCOSIM simulator on a at surface, free from obstruction
•Do not expose the simulator to direct sunlight for extended periods of time
•Do not use the simulator with any toxic or ammable liquids, or in explosive
atmospheres

CALIBRATION MANUAL 2
•Recommended: use the simulator within room temperature environments (23 °C ±
2 °C and approx. 50% RH)
•The solution container, tubing and mouthpieces must be completely dry; even slight
condensation may disrupt calibration
•Fit tubing or mouthpieces on an aquarium air pump or a similar setup for drying
•CAUTION! Never connect the simulator to an electrical outlet without rst adding
solution and attaching the top housing
•The simulator requires 500 mL of solution; the ll line is marked on the simulator
container
•Do not under or over ll the simulator container
•Do not over tighten the top housing
•Connect the simulator cables neatly to ensure simple disconnection after use
•Do not force a misaligned cable connector into place
•If solution overheats considerably beyond 34 °C, disconnect the simulator power
immediately
•Disconnect the simulator power after use
•CAUTION! After disconnecting the simulator power, allow 10 to 15 minutes for the
heating element to cool before detaching the top housing
•Empty out the solution container at the end of the work day
•Store the simulator in an environment of 5 to 40 °C and 10 to 85% RH
ALCOHOL REFERENCE SOLUTION
•Use the solution concentration specied in the manual for breath testing devices
•Replace solution every 5 days or 20 tests
•Use of solution over time affects alcohol concentration
•Do not use a solution bottle with a broken seal, or an expired bottle
•Never use articial methods to reheat or cool solution, or the solution container
•Keep solution at room temperature
•Do not freeze or refrigerate solution
•Do not ingest solution
•If solution is ingested, do not induce vomiting; contact your local poison control
centre
•Keep solution away from eyes
•If solution comes in contact with eyes, ush eyes with water; if irritation continues,
contact your local poison control centre
•Refer to your local environmental regulations for more information about safe
solution-disposal amounts
•Dispose solution down a drain

CLEANING THE ALCOSIM BREATH ALCOHOL SIMULATOR
•Disconnect the ALCOSIM breath alcohol simulator power before cleaning
•CAUTION! After disconnecting the ALCOSIM simulator power, allow 10 to 15
minutes for the heating element to cool off before detaching the top housing
•Do not submerge the top housing in water
•Clean the top housing by wiping with a water dampened cloth
•Wash the solution container with plain water and dry with paper towel
CALIBRATION TYPES
There are 2 methods of calibration for the ALCOLOCK V3 alcohol interlock:
•Alcohol Reference Standard (ARS), which uses the ALCOSIM breath alcohol
simulator. See the “Alcohol Reference Standard (ARS) Calibration” section of this
manual
•Gas Standard, which uses an alcohol gas standard cylinder. See the “Gas Standard
Calibration” section of this manual
To ensure accurate results, 3 calibration cycles may be necessary. The rst cycle starts
the calibration and subsequent cycles are used to ensure that the same threshold is
met
Read the following section, then proceed to the method being used to calibrate your
handset.
