Attaching the mouthpiece
­ According to the version of the device, the mouthpiece can be attached with right or left orientation (Standard) or with top orientation (Classic).
Remove the mouthpiece from the packaging. For hygienic reasons, leave the mouth contact area protected by the packaging, until the mouthpiece sits firmly on the device.
Depending on the version of the device, see page 41: With the chequered mark (= pressure sur-
face) facing upwards, put the “Standard” mouthpiece into the mouthpiece receptacle at an angle and push it into the mouthpiece receptacle. The mouthpiece audibly engages. ­ The inserted mouthpiece can be illuminated by the switched on device.
or From above, push the “Classic” mouth-
piece firmly into the mouthpiece receptacle.
Then completely remove the packaging.

Performing the measurement
Performing the measurement
Conditions
­ Insert a new mouthpiece for each test subject. ­ Do not allow any high alcohol concentrations on the sensor, e.g., by rinsing the mouth with
a high proof alcohol shortly before the measurement. Doing this reduces the service life of the sensor. ­ Maintain an adequate distance from mobile phone antennas and transmitting stations.
Requirements of the test subject
­ Observe a waiting period of at least 15 minutes after the last oral alcohol intake! Residual alcohol in the mouth can distort the measurement. Distortions can also occur with aromatic beverages (e.g. fruit juice), alcoholic mouth sprays, medicines and drops, and after burping and vomiting. Also observe a waiting period of at least 15 minutes in these cases. A mouth rinse with water or non-alcoholic beverages does not replace the waiting period!
­ The device can detect residual mouth alcohol during the delivery of the breath sample, if this option is activated. If residual mouth alcohol is detected, the measurement is aborted and a relevant message is displayed.
­ The test subject should breathe normally and steadily prior to the sampling.Rapid inhalation and exhalation through the mouth should be avoided.
­ The test subject must be able to produce the required minimum breath volume (default setting 1.2 L). During testing, the breath flow must fall within a preset minimum blowing period (default setting 2 seconds).

The sampling is automatically triggered after attaining the minimum breath volume and the minimum blowing period.

Preparation
Switch on the device (see page 44).
Insert a new mouthpiece in the mouthpiece receptacle (see page 45).
After 2 seconds the following appear in the display: ­ customer specific info (if activated),
or ­ Input of data, see “Data input before or after the measurement” on
page 47 or ­ » WAIT «. The customer specific info can also be accessed by pressing the
key. End with the OK key.

Test Result
After 3 to 20 seconds (dependent on the detected concentration) the measurement result appears in the display. ­ The measurement result is displayed with the corresponding unit. ­ In the default setting, the unit is set to mg/L (milligram ethyl alcohol
per liter breathing air) and the solution is set to two positions after the comma. The default setting can be changed on the main menu (see Technical Handbook Dräger Alcotest 7510).
In addition to the measurement result, an audible signal which is dependent on the measurement result is output, for example: measurement result below the limit value (PASS) = 1 x, measurement result between the limit values (ALERT) = 2 x, measurement result above the limit value (FAIL) = 3 x
If the measurement results are positive, it is recommended to perform a second measurement after 10 to 15 minutes in order to confirm the measurement result.

Prerequisite: Analysis of the sensor data and other quality assurance measures by the Service department of Dräger Safety.
Storage
The Dräger Alcotest 7510 also uses some power when it is in a deactivated state. Therefore, remove the batteries or rechargeable batteries from the device when not in use for a longer period of time.
CAUTION During long storage periods: remove the batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries from the device when the device is not used for longer than 6 months. This avoids damage to the device caused by leaking battery acid.
Replacing the batteries
For devices with alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries. Lithium- ion rechargeable batteries cannot be replaced.
If the battery smybol in the display stands at » « (empty) insert new batteries or charged NiMH rechargeable batteries, or place the device in the charger and charge:
Rotate the catch on the battery cover anticlockwise 90o and remove the battery cover.
­ On devices with NiMH rechargeable batteries, the catch is secured on the battery cover with a screw.
If the NiMH rechargeable batteries need to be replaced: In order to open the battery cover, first
loosen the screw. Then rotate the catch 90o and remove the battery cover.
