3OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Information
The following information should be observed when conducting breath test analysis using
this device:
•Operators should use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when
conducting a test –gloves, mask, protective eyewear or full-face mask based on the
situation.
•For accurate testing results, food, beverages, medications, smoking, vaping or
substances that contain alcohol should not be consumed for at least 15 minutes
prior to testing.
•Allow 15 minutes for any potential interfering alcohol to be cleared from the donor
before testing again.
CAUTION
While the HH3 is a robust device, it does contain sensitive instrumentation and should
not be subject to rough handling or become submerged in water.
Do not store device in direct sunlight or places where extreme temperature conditions
can occur.

•Breath alcohol concentration can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after the
cessation of drinking and care should be taken if a result close to the designated
breath alcohol concentration is indicated.
•When a high breath alcohol level has been reached, it can take 10 hours or more for
the breath alcohol level to return to zero.
•If the test result is above the operational maximum limit, a plus sign (+) after the
result will be displayed.
3.1.1 Cleaning Requirements
•We recommend that appropriate PPE be used during the cleaning process eg; gloves
•The instrument should be cleaned with a soft cloth and antibacterial spray or anti-
bacterial wipes. It is recommended that the instrument is turned off before cleaning.
•The outside of the instrument can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft moist
cloth followed by a soft dry cloth.
•Screen –the screen of the instrument can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft
moist cloth followed by a soft dry cloth.
•Ensure the Spigot Inlet is not blocked.
•Do not use alcohol based cleaners.
•Do not use harsh cleaning agents, abrasive cleaning pads or chemicals.
•Dispose of mouthpieces after use into a bin, this can be done by easily ‘tapping’ the
mouthpiece on the edge of the bin and it will ‘pop’ off. Ensure gloves and PPE are
used during this process
Testing Types
The HH3 can perform both Mouthpiece and Passive BrAC testing. Mouthpiece testing
provides a BrAC reading in g/210L and Passive testing will display the presence of alcohol in
breath. Following a Passive test that indicates the presence of alcohol, a Mouthpiece test
should then be performed if an accurate BrAC is required.
Mouthpieces
There are two types of Mouthpieces available for use on the HH3 (refer Figure 3). These are
the:
•Spit Trap Non Return Valve Mouthpiece, and
•Standard Spigot Locator Mouthpiece.

Charging the Battery
Prior to initial use, the HH3 battery should be fully charged. The battery charge cycle may
take up to two hours.
Charge the battery as follows:
•Connect the charger DC socket to the HH3 battery charger port (refer Figure 1).
•Connect the AC plug to a suitable power supply and switch on power.
The device will automatically start and charging will be displayed. Testing is not available
during charging.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery condition indicator on the TFT Graphics
Display will display five bars (refer Figure 4).
Figure 4 - Battery Condition Indicator
Recharge the battery when the battery condition indicator shows one bar to ensure testing
will not be interrupted by a flat battery. The device cannot be used for testing during
charging but can be used for accessing Records (refer Section 4).
CAUTION
The battery in the HH3 device is a Li-ION battery. As such it should not be tampered with
in anyway. Should any problems occur that are related to the battery, contact your local
Alcolizer representative for advice (1300 789 908).
Only use the battery charger supplied with the Alcolizer supplied kit. Use of non Alcolizer
battery charges could damage the device and render it inoperative.

Attach the mouthpiece to the device as follows:
•Grasp the mouthpiece at the non-ribbed end and tear the plastic wrapping from the
ribbed end, downwards to expose the sample inlet hole.
•Locate the mouthpiece sample inlet port over the mouthpiece locator in line with
the recesses that surround the spigot (refer Figure 7).
•Press the mouthpiece sample inlet port onto the locator until it is attached securely
(refer Figure 8). The orientation of the mouthpiece will not affect the sampling.
•Remove the remaining portion of the plastic wrap just prior to testing to ensure
hygienic use.
•A new mouthpiece must be used for each mouthpiece test.

3.6.2 Taking a Mouthpiece Breath Sample
Perform a Mouthpiece Test as follows:
NOTE
Before taking a breath sample, ensure the subject has not consumed alcohol for at least
15 minutes.
If any step in a breath test sequence is not completed or the device is left idle for a
prolonged period of time, then the device will terminate the breath test and display Test
timed out. The device will return to the Start Mouthpiece Test display
The standard breath test time out period is 60 seconds. If a test time out does occur
during a breath test, a new breath test must be performed.
