Measurement
The KAALCPROFCA Personal Breathalyzer is a hand held Professional Alcohol Analyzer. It provides stable, accurate and reliable measuring technology. Please wash your mouth with water and abstain from smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 10 minutes before use.
Power Supply
- Slide back the battery cover on the back of the device.
- Install 3 x 1.5V alkaline batteries (AAA) into the battery compartment.
- When battery power is not sufficient enough for testing, the battery indicator will flash. In this circumstance, please remove the drained batteries and replace with a fresh set of batteries immediately
Parts
Operation
-
Press the ‘ON’ key once to turn on the device. When the machine is powered on, ‘ALCO’ will be shown on the LCD display. Press the ‘OK’ key. The sensor preheating will be activated. ‘PH’ will flash three times and begin to count down (from ‘PH99’ to ‘PH90- 00’). ‘READY’ & “BLOW” will flash alternately with beep tones when the machine is ready to take a breath sample.
Note: the device will count down for 30 seconds. Please take a test within this time.
-
When ready to take a test, the user should blow continuously through the mouthpiece for about 5-7 seconds. Stop blowing once you hear a ‘beep’ tone. If the sampling is successful, ‘Anly” will flash upon the display, indicating an analysis of the sample is underway. A reading will then display upon the screen.
-
If the user doesn’t blow for long enough, blows too hard, blows too softly or is interrupted, ‘ERR’ will be shown on the LCD (indicating an error). The user may press the ‘OK’ key for a new test. Test results are displayed on the LCD within 10 seconds
Note
with the LCD screen displaying the test result, as shown above, the user
may press the ‘ON’ key to recall the last test result record.
Important Notes
- When the device records its maximum available tests, ‘500’ and ‘MAX TEST’ will display and flash on the LCD.
- Users will need to refresh/calibrate the device so that the device can take a test with correct result reading. ‘MAX TEST’ will display and blink each time when you enter into the test mode of the device.
- To continue testing, you will have to wait for 5 seconds. To discontinue the display of “MAX TEST”, you will need to visit an authorized service center and calibrate your equipment.
- When unused for a long time or at a low temperature, the machine will take longer to prime itself / warm up.
- After 5 consecutive tests, allow the device to rest for 5 minutes.
- Please store in a dry environment at room temperature. Avoid extreme heat or long-term sun exposure.
- When the battery indicator flashes, please replace the batteries.
- If the difference between two successive readings is >0.1%, the user should test again.
- Do NOT block the outlet during sampling.
- When “Err” flashes, press ‘OK’ to restart the test. The device will revert to “ALCO” mode once “Err” flashes for 5 seconds.

How often should I re-calibrate the tester?
The tester can remain accurate for 500 uses. We recommend recalibration after
this many measurements to ensure maximum accuracy. Please contact an
Authorized service center.
NB: It is important to observe the recommended 20 minute pause without
consuming any alcohol, cigarettes or anything else before testing. Failure to
do this can shorten the life of the sensor. In such cases, the sensor can be
permanently damaged or may require more frequent calibration. This user manual
should be read carefully for information on caring for the unit sensor. Many
factors (e.g. environment gas residue, smoke & various smells in the human
mouth, etc…) may affect the BAC level, so the readings are For Reference Only.
Kogan does not accept any liability arising from the use of the unit. Don’t
drink before you drive!
