Requirements

Measurements of breath alcohol concentration with the
Alcotest 9510 may only be carried out by persons trained on
the instrument.
Ensure that the permissible ambient conditions (see Section
12 on Page 27) are met.
Waiting and control time before measurement
Basically, the following has to be considered for breath alcohol
measurement:
Observe a waiting time of 20 minutes after the last

consumption of alcoholic beverages before starting the
measurement.
It must be ensured that during a time period of at least

10 minutes before the measurement no substances are
taken in through the mouth or nose (control time).
Alcohol residues that are still in the mouth may cause

incorrect measuring values.
This may also occur by aromatic drinks (e.g. fruit juices),

alcoholic mouth sprays, medicines and drops, as well as by
burping and vomiting.
Rinsing the mouth with water or non-alcoholic beverages

does not replace the waiting or control time!
