1INTRODUCTION
This User Manual details the operation of the Alcolizer Technology, Centurion, alcohol
breath testing instrument. This manual is divided into various Sections and Sub-sections to
enable the user to access the required information with ease. It includes Warnings, Cautions
and Notes applicable to the Centurion instrument and a detailed table outlining the
specifications.
2DESCRIPTION OF CENTURION
2.1 The Instrument
Centurion is equipped with the latest technology, and is designed to accommodate a wide
range of uses across many industries. This Breathalyzer is designed for high volume, fixed
point commercial and industrial alcohol breath testing applications where you need a “Go”
or “No Go”. This is the ideal tester where you have Zero Tolerance, and just need an Alcohol
detected or alcohol not detected. The Alcolizer Centurion incorporates innovative and
patented replacement module technology, so no more returning your Breathalyzer to base
for service, we simply ship you an exchange module.
If you have Zero Tolerance for Alcohol this is the device for you, and when used in
conjunction with a quality police grade Breathalyzer like the LE5 or the HH3 will deliver a
total solution for your business.

2.3 Equipment Overview
With a long lasting and durable steel construction, Centurion is manufactured to withstand
long-term use. Weighing under 10kg, Centurion can be wall mounted in multiple, accessible
locations. A large display screen also makes for clearer and easier reading of displayed
results. There are no extra accessories associated with providing a breath sample, which is
therefore beneficial in not having to replenish items and maintain stock for breathalyzing.

3INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
3.1 Installing the Back Plate
3.1.1 Mounting location
When choosing a suitable mounting location, the following factors should be considered:
•The instrument must be mounted on a wall or structure that can support the weight
of the instrument.
•The instrument must not be exposed to rain or water.
•The instrument should be mounted near to a mains power socket to allow for easy
connection and network point if advanced connectivity functions are being used.
•The instrument must not be exposed to extreme temperatures outside of the
defined operating range (See Specifications).
3.1.2 Mounting height and position
The instrument must be mounted and positioned at a height to accommodate the majority
of users and in such a way to allow access to the key lock and to allow the machine to swing
open.

3.1.3 Mounting instructions
Mount the back plate in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Unpack and remove the instrument from the packaging. Unlock the instrument and
remove the back plate from the unit.
2. Choose a suitable mounting site as described previously.
3. Remove any cutaway portions on the back plate to permit cable access if applicable,
such as an Ethernet cable.
4. Fix the back plate to the wall using masonry fixing hardware (e.g. medium duty
anchors).
5. The fixings should be strong enough to support the instrument (at least 20kg) and
any incidental loading such as a person leaning or pulling on the instrument.
3.2 Mounting and Starting the instrument
3.2.1 Mounting
Mount the instrument in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Using an assistant if required, hang the instrument onto the back plate by aligning
the male lift off hinge pins on the back plate with the main instrument female hinge
tubes.
2. Confirm the instrument swings effectively and does not impact any other fixtures.
3. Route any cables to avoid damage and trip hazards.
4. Visually check that there are no loose components from transportation.
5. Remove any packing materials.
6. Remove the screen protector film from the front of the display screen.
3.2.2 Initial starting
Perform the following steps for the initial start-up:
1. The Centurion will automatically begin the start-up process once you plug it into the
mains power.
WARNING
When the unit is open or not installed on the back plate, electrical components are exposed.
Ensure electrical power is isolated at the supply power point whenever the unit is open
unless specifically required for special troubleshooting requirements.
WARNING
Do not use adhesives (Liquid Nails) as the method of fixing as these are not considered to be
a reliable or safe fixing means for the Centurion.

REF: Centurion User Manual V3.docx Page 10 © Alcolizer Technology
2. The instrument will take several minutes to start up. The loading screen will be
visible.
3. The instrument is ready to use when the display screen is visible and ready to receive
a sample.
4OPERATING INSTRUCTION
4.1.1 Providing a breath sample
Perform a breath test in accordance with the following procedures:
1. Ensure the instrument is ready to take a sample. This is indicated with a welcome
screen and instructions on how to provide a breath sample. There may be a specific
customer welcome screen.
2. The screen will indicate to START BLOWING.
a. Start blowing and continue blowing until the progress bar reaches 100%. During the
blow sequence, a beeping sound will be heard.
NOTE
For accurate results, food or drink must not be consumed for the 10 minutes prior to
testing.

REF: Centurion User Manual V3.docx Page 11 © Alcolizer Technology
b. Stop blowing when the display shows STOP BLOWING.
4.2 Analysing the breath sample
The instrument will perform an analysis after the breath sample has been received and then
display the result. If the BAC (Breath Alcohol concentration) detected is zero, the display
will be green, indicating no alcohol was detected and stating just that result on the screen.
When the BAC is greater than zero, the display will be red and clearly indicate alcohol has
been detected in the breath sample.
The result will continue to be displayed while the instrument resets itself ready for the next
test. For zero readings this will typically be about five seconds.
4.3 Invalid sample
The invalid blow screen is displayed if the user stops blowing half way through a sample
being taken, they blow too softly, blow too hard or not blowing directly into module as
indicated on the front of the Centurion .

REF: Centurion User Manual V3.docx Page 12 © Alcolizer Technology
If the blow is invalid, cease blowing, wait until the device returns to the main screen and
then provide another sample.
5OWNER SERVICING
