Low Battery Indication
The top LED installed in the case, marked "Low Battery", will light
up when it is time to recharge the EPAS. If you need to continue
testing after the "Low Battery" LED lights up, it is recommended that
you connect the EPAS to a dependable power supply, using either the
AC or DC power sources. After the initial 24 hour system charge,
a charge of 12 hours is recommended as a sufcient time period to
recharge the EPAS.
It is acceptable to leave the EPAS constantly connected to the AC
or DC power supply.
Preparing the Alcotest® 7410 Plus
Your Alcotest® 7410 Plus will arrive in the EPAS unit with a NiCd
battery pack.

ment and depress the safety
lock.
EPAS Preparation
Preparing the Electrical System
The EPAS utilizes a rechargeable lead-acid battery to power the
various components that make up the system. This battery maintains
a consistent charge for the components with internal batteries, as
well as, providing power to the components without batteries. Before
using the EPAS, it is important to fully charge the main system
battery.
Note: Even when the unit is turned off, small amounts of power
are required to retain memory contents in the Cassiopeia®
PDA, which can cause the batteries to go dead even when
the unit is not in use.
Charging the Batteries
The batteries can be charged in two different ways: through an AC
power supply, or a 12 volt DC power supply from a car. The rst
time you charge the EPAS, 24 hours is required to attain a com-
plete charge.
AC Charging of the Batteries
1.) Connect the DC connector of the AC adapter to the EPAS
external power port (see illustration on page 3).
2.) Plug the AC cord of the adapter into your AC power source.
3.) The LED marked "AC/DC Power/Charge" will light up to
indicate that the EPAS is connected to the AC power source.
DC Charging of the Batteries
1.) Connect the DC power cord to the EPAS external power port
(see illustration on page 3).
2.) Plug the other end into the car's cigarette lighter receptacle.
3.) The LED marked "Vehicle Power/Charge" will light up to indicate
that the EPAS is connected to a vehicle power source.
After the EPAS has charged for a full 24 hours, it is ready for use.

5.) Place new paper roll into the magazine, making sure that the
paper projects from the bottom of the roll.
6.) Insert the projecting paper into the tractor slot of the printer.
7.) Push the black rubber roller towards the back of the printer until
the paper is drawn in and fed out the top of the printer about 1/2".
If the paper does not feed easily, fold over about 1/2" of paper
to create a sharper edge.
8.) Re-insert the printer ribbon (see the next section, "Replacing the
Ribbon Cartridge").
Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge
The ribbon cartridge should be replaced when printouts begin to
appear faint. After removing the paper roll, follow the directions
below.
1.) Press down the end of the cartridge marked PUSH, and the
ribbon will dislodge at the other end of the printer. The cartridge
can then be removed.
2.) Insert a new cartridge with the ribbon positioned in the slot
between the two metal tongues of the printing mechanism. Be
sure to thread the paper roll between the ribbon and the plastic
edge of the cartridge.
3.) Press the cartridge onto the driver pin.
Re-printing the Last Test
If the Alcotest® 7410 Plus has been turned off, press the ON/OFF
button and hold, until the unit displays .
The very last test that was performed with the EPAS (Screening,
Evidential, or Accuracy) will be printed.
For detailed information on printing, follow the instructions on page
18, "Printing Test Results".
Turning On and Off
The Alcotest® 7410 Plus is automatically powered up when the EPAS
case is opened.
To turn the Alcotest® 7410 Plus off, place the instrument into the cradle
and close the lid of the EPAS case.

simply double-click the power button twice.
Preparing the Printer
Your Alcotest® 7410 Plus printer will arrive inserted in the EPAS
unit, with a full roll of paper and a new ribbon. The printer power
supply will be connected when it arrives.
The printer performs a brief self-test and advances the paper a half
inch when the EPAS lid is opened. If the printer does not perform
this self test upon opening the case, verify that the printer power
supply is connected (see illustration on page 6).
Loading Paper
When a colored stripe appears on the printed output, the paper roll
should be changed soon.
1.) Lift the printer out of the cradle by pulling the black pull tabs on
the left and right side of the printer (see illustration on page 6).
2.) Disconnect the printer from the power supply.
3.) Remove the upper section of the printer housing by depressing
the area beneath the oval-shaped holes on the side of the printer.
Lift one side up rst, then the other (see illustration on page 6).

time, and warm up sequence. If the data is successfully transferred,
a series of three beeps will sound from the Alcotest® 7410 Plus, it can
then be removed from the cradle.
Performing an Accuracy Check
The Alcotest® 7410 Plus must be checked for accuracy not exceeding 10
days or following the testing of every 150 subjects, whichever comes
sooner, or as specied by your state.
The test result, using a 0.100 % BAC dry gas standard, must be
between .090 and .110 % BAC. A test result out of this window of
tolerance will disable the Alcotest® 7410 Plus and followed
by will ash on the Alcotest® 7410 Plus display.
On the day prior to the maximum number of days allowed between
Accuracy Checks, the Alcotest® 7410 Plus will warn of the upcoming
lock-out by ashing then on the instrument display.
Important: Only use the specied dry gas concentration and
never blow into the Alcotest® 7410 Plus in the
mode or a lockout will occur.
For Accuracy Checks, have a dry gas canister of 0.100% ethanol con-
centration ready (only use the Draeger supplied regulator).
