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).

Automatic Measurement
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

signal and the green LED.
During the delivery of the breath sample the following message appears in the
display: » BLOW «.
If the breath sample is sufficient (minimum breath volume and the minimum
blowing period were reached), the sampling is triggered. Then the green LED

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.

As required: Replace batteries, see page 57 or charge rechargeable batteries,
see page 58.
Every six months: Check calibration. Only by authorised persons, see Technical
Handbook Dräger
Alcotest 7510. — An extension of the calibration interval, e.g. to 1 year, is
possible.
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.

In order to immediately reinsert the device after discharging the alkaline
batteries or the NiMH rechargeable batteries, it is recommended to have
replacement batteries or charged rechargeable batteries on hand.
CAUTION
Do not throw used alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries into fire,
charge them again, or open them by force. Danger of explosion!
Dispose of used alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries only as
hazardous waste, in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Further
information can be obtained from the relevant local authority and from
appropriate waste disposal companies.
Charging the installed rechargeable batteries
For devices with NiMH or lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. If the battery
symbol in the display stands at » « (empty) or if the device automatically
switches off before reaching operational readiness: Charge the rechargeable
batteries in the device or replace the NiMH rechargeable batter-
ies with charged rechargeable batteries, see page 57.
Only charge the device at temperatures between 5 and 40 oC (avoid exposure to
