INTRODUCTION
The Smart Breathalyzer 1.0 is an advanced version of alcohol screening device, used for the
detection of alcohol in the breath and to get analytical reports. The Smart breathalyzer 1.0
provides a digital result, displaying an estimate of the subject’s BAC (Blood Alcohol Content).
Before you begin testing, it is very important to read the entire owner’s manual. This device will
automatically calibrate to temperature and humidity of the environment every time you switch
on the device.
Alcohol and its effects on the human body When a person consumes alcohol, the alcohol is
absorbed from the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines into the bloodstream. The alcohol in
the bloodstream exchanges with air deep in the lungs. The percent of alcohol in a person’s
blood (BAC) is proportional to the percent of alcohol in a person’s breath (BrAC). The Smart
breathalyzer 1.0 measures a subject’s deep lung air alcohol level and converts it to the
estimated BAC. “BAC” means Blood Alcohol Concentration. It is measured in %.
How does alcohol affect my body?
Alcohol is a depressant. It has a relaxing effect on the muscles in your body. The muscles of
your eyes relax and lose focus. Your eyesight will become fuzzy and you may experience double
vision. Brain activity is slowed. Your judgment, reflexes, and coordination are all negatively
affected. Some vision impairments that occur when you have been drinking include:
• Narrowing of your field of vision
• Reduction in your depth perception
• Decreased ability to see in darkness
• Increased sensitivity to glare and a longer time for your eyes to readjust from the glare
Some mental (brain) impairment can occur when you have been drinking, including:
• Reduced awareness of danger
• Becoming overly confident and reckless
• Difficulty in making decisions
• 􀃊Reduction in balance
• Slowed reflexes
• Impaired judgment
Variations among individuals and other factors, such as altitude and air temperature, affect the
degree of intoxication. Some individuals may become intoxicated at low BAC levels. A low BAC
on a breath alcohol tester does not mean that a person’s reaction times can respond to any
emergency encountered. Individuals should not drink alcohol and drive or use any machinery
after consuming alcohol.

Operation
STEP 1 : To on the device switch on both the switches.
STEP 2 : There are two menus called calibrate and start breathalyzer. You can change options
using F2 and F3 buttons in the keypad respectively. Calibration menu is for company use only.
You cannot change it. So to take readings you have to press F2 to start the breathalyzer function.
STEP 3 : Wait until display shoes “press the push button”. After that you can take readings by
pressing the push button.
STEP 4 : Insert a mouthpiece into the Mouthpiece slot.
STEP 5 : Press the push button and give the device to take the breath sample
STEP 6 : Press the push button and give the device to take the breath sample
STEP 7 : Enter the license number and vehicle number when asked using keypad(Note that
backspace is the F4 key in the keypad)

Calibration
The Smart Breathalyzer 1.0 is calibrated during manufacture using test results and
mathematical formulas. Known alcohol concentrations are passed through the sensor to set
baseline values for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples to these
baseline values.
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six to twelve months of normal use,
depending on the number of tests performed and operating conditions. It is because the
alcohol sensor used in the device will not function well. If this product is providing inconsistent
test results, is not providing any test results, or provides unusually high or low test results, the
Sensor should be replaced and calibrate by the company.
The product should be recalibrated at least every six to twelve months depending on frequency
of use and operating conditions.
During recalibration, the company will reset the sensor baseline values and also perform a full
diagnostic check to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the product.

Precautions
1. Do not blow smoke, food, or liquids into the Smart Breathalyzer 1.0 as this will damage the
sensor.
2. Do not test in areas with strong winds, smoke, or in an area where a large amount of alcohol
is being consumed.
3. Charge the device when you see battery low indication.
4. Send your tester in for periodic calibration service as required.
5. The Smart Breathalyzer 1.0 is designed to be used in a temperature range of (20-36)°C.
7. Avoid testing in the presence of any substances that contain methyl alcohol, isopropyl
alcohol or acetone. These substances may interfere with the results of the test.
8. For Hygiene reasons, use a new mouthpiece for each test subject.
9. You cannot use the results of this product in court. You have to send the person who caught
drunk to do a blood test.
10. Do not use the Smart Breathalyzer 1.0 as a tool to determine whether you should operate a
motor vehicle or equipment, or perform any other dangerous act.
10. Do not drink and drive. Always have a designated driver when alcohol is being consumed.
Requirements for the Test Subject
Before sampling, the test subject should breathe normally and calmly. The test subject must be
able to provide the required minimum respiratory level. For this purpose, the breathing flow
must be constant for a certain minimum blowing period. When the deep lung air comes out the
breath rate will be in a constant range. That will be the minimum blowing period.

Description of Design Components
MQ3 Gas Sensor
The MQ3 gas sensor is alcohol sensor which is used to detect the alcohol concentration on your
breath. This sensor provides an analog resistive output based on alcohol concentration. When
the alcohol gas exist, the sensor’s conductivity gets higher along with the gas concentration
rising. It is suitable for various applications of detecting alcohol at different concentration. It is
widely used in domestic alcohol gas alarm, industrial alcohol gas alarm and portable alcohol
detector.
Features
High sensitivity to alcohol and small sensitivity to Benzine
Stable and long life
Fast response and High sensitivity
Only supported for Arduino Platform
Hardware Overview
This is an Analog output sensor. This needs to be connected to any one Analog socket
in Arduino (A0).
The output voltage from the Gas sensor increases when the concentration of gas increases.
Sensitivity can be adjusted by varying the potentiometer. The best preheat time for the sensor
is above 24 hours.
