INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Andatech® Soberlive FR breathalyser.
The Soberlive FR is a state-of-the-art breathalyser with built-in facial recognition system, which allows
workplaces to track test results associated with individual employees, clients and visitors. The
advanced facial recognition system identifies individuals instantly and records BAC test results directly
associated with individual employees, providing ease in usability and recording. With a 30 second
turnaround time, the Soberlive FR can help expedite the morning queue in construction sites, and
other industries where alcohol breath measurement is a must. The Soberlive FR is a safe, reliable,
and easy choice for companies and workplace safety organisations nation-wide.
We hope you enjoy owning your Andatech® Soberlive FR breathalyser. If you have any questions
regarding the unit or want to speak with us further, please visit andatech.com.au or call 1300 800 200

DEVICE INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES
● Install the device only indoors, in a covered environment.
● Install the device in a location with sufficient lighting
● Do not use the facial recognition feature under a strong light.
● Do not expose the device to the sun for a prolonged period of time.
● Do not use in locations that are subject to high humidity. Excessive humidity may cause
damage to the device's components.
● Use our provided power adapter- connecting it to an improper power source may damage
your equipment and lead to fire and/or damage.
● Keep the camera clean for optimum photos and facial recognition.
WALL-MOUNTING THE DEVICE
To mount on the wall, use the appropriate
screws (2) and wall anchors (2) for the type
of wall material you are mounting the device
to.
Drill two holes on the wall (depth: 50mm,
distance between: 34mm). Put the wall
anchors inside the hole, and push the screw
inside the wall anchors. Reserve around a
10mm gap from the wall, and fix the device
into place, then hang the device.

ANDALINK
The Andalink is a secure, cloud-based software that bridges the Soberlive FR with a complete data
management system. With Andalink, company and OH&S managers can register users and faces, as
well as view, download, and manage reports for their employees' alcohol results.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
For instructions on how to set up your Andalink account for your Soberlive FR, please visit
andatech.com.au/andalink-manual and log in with the credentials provided in the letter with your
device during purchase.
ANDALINK SYNC
Test results from the device are synced to Andalink immediately (as long as there is an active internet
connection on the device).
All other changes from Andalink to the device are synced every 10 minutes.
FORCE SYNC
To Force Sync the device with Andalink, connect a mouse to the device.
Then click and hold the cursor on the version number (displayed on the bottom right of
the device screen).
The server (cloud) icon will start rotating and display a downward arrow icon to indicate
that it is syncing.
The Force Sync is complete when the icon stops rotating. The number beside the icon will be updated
to show the updated number of registered faces synced from Andalink, and a pop-up message will
appear in the Notification Area that the Force Sync is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-TEST CONDITIONS
1. The operating temperature range is between -10°C to 50°C. Using the device within this
temperature range will limit condensation from a user’s breath to ensure an accurate reading
from a user’s breath sample.
2. It is recommended that the user does not consume anything for 20 minutes before the breath
test. Following this procedure will eliminate possible misreadings from mouth alcohol and
food.
3. The device can be used with either a sampling cup or a straw adapter and regular drinking
straws (not provided). Set the alcohol test type to either Quick Test Mode or Standard Test
Mode under Advanced Settings (Blow) and install either the sampling cup or straw adapter
onto the device before using.
a. The sampling cup is recommended for Quick Test Mode. The sampling cup should be
cleaned with a non-alcohol disinfectant and wiped dry between each test to prevent
cross contamination or alcohol residue from affecting the next reading.
b. The straw adaptor is recommended for Standard Test Mode. Users should be
provided with individually wrapped regular drinking straws (not provided) to take a
test. Each user should use a new straw for each test and dispose of the used straw
hygienically after testing.
4. After switching on the device, allow 10 minutes for the device to warm up before using.
9

TEST PROCEDURES
Follow the device's instructions shown in the Notification Area when taking a test.
1. 'Face camera. Keep face inside the frame'
Stand in front of the device, face the camera and position face within the Facial Recognition
Frame shown on the LCD display.
2. Device will then prompt the user to take an alcohol breath test. Follow the instructions in the
Notification Area:
'Please Blow'
Quick test mode - Blow fast and hard into the
sampling cup from a distance of 3-5 cm without
touching the sampling cup
Standard test mode - Insert a drinking straw into the
straw adaptor and blow slow and steadily into the
straw
'Blowing'
(only displays during standard test
mode)
Continue blowing into the straw
'Blow completed. Please Wait'
Stop blowing and wait for the results
3. Device will analyse the results and display them in the Notification Area along with a voice
alert (if enabled) as “Pass/Fail” “Name/Visitor” “Alcohol reading” .
Note: Pass/Fail alcohol limit is 0.00 by default and cannot be changed. Any result over 0.00
will be a 'Fail'.
4. Results are synced to Andalink immediately after each test (if device is connected to the
internet).
5. A new user can take another test by repeating from Step 1.
