INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ALERT™ J5 – a breath

alcohol tester (BAT) that measures the alcohol level in

human breath. Based on your jurisdiction, your ALERT J5

comes with preset levels that indicate whether the alcohol

breath test result is a fail (red LED light), warning (amber

LED light) or pass (green LED light).

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

Take the following precautions to ensure smooth and

uninterrupted use of your device:

• Use the product for its intended purpose only

• Use AA Alkaline batteries only

• Do not store in extreme heat or cold and avoid

exposing the device to direct sunlight for extended

periods of time

• Do not blow smoke or any uids into the mouthpiece,

as these can damage the sensor

• Do not open the BAT case. Doing so will void the

warranty and may also damage the components within

• Keep all magnets and transmitting devices (such as

mobile phones) away from the BAT to minimize RF

interference

• If you spill any liquid on the ALERT J5, remove all

excess uid with a cloth and allow the device to dry

thoroughly before attempting to power on. Do not

power on in case of excessive water damage

WARRANTY

All ACS products are warranted to be free of defects in

workmanship and materials for a period of one year from

the date of shipment. ACS agrees to replace or repair any

defective device, provided the defect was not caused by

misuse or mishandling.

The ALERT J5 being returned for warranty repairs

must be properly packaged and shipped prepaid to an

authorized service provider.

MAINTENANCE

ALERT J5 requires periodic maintenance and calibration.

After testing and calibrating at the factory, ALERT J5 is

deactivated so it can be stored without losing any clock

time from the calibration period. You need to activate it to

start using it (see the “Activating” section). Once activated,

ALERT J5 automatically increments the date for the next

calibration by 365 days from the date of activation.

NOTE: ALERT J5 is calibrated for optimal performance at

the point of shipment.

can re-calibrate using the right button. Specialized

equipment is required to accurately calibrate ALERT

J5 and you should not attempt to calibrate it yourself

• Deactivation/Activation: A service menu option for

use by manufacturer or distributer. Units are supplied

to customer in “Activated” state

• Date/Time: Shows the current date and time of the

device. Use the right button to scroll through the digits

button. Scroll through to view available options

• Shut down: Use this menu to manually shut down

the device without waiting for automatic shut off. This

option does not deactivate the device; it only shuts off

the device

BAC/BrAC Format

The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or the breath

alcohol concentration (BrAC) format is available in ve

formats; mg%, mg/L, %BAC, g/L and μg/100mL. You can

select the desired unit from the Settings menu.

Power On/Shut Down

Press either of the two buttons to power on the device.

A ashing amber LED light indicates that the device is

warming up for a test, and you will see a WAIT message

Activating

ALERT J5 is shipped deactivated after it is calibrated

and passes inspection at the factory. This allows the

device to be stored without losing any time from the

calibration period. You have to activate the device to start

using it. Once activated, the date for the next calibration

increments by 365 days from the date of activation.

A Not Activated message when you initially power on

the device indicates that it is not activated and no test

can be performed until it is activated.

NOTE: This feature is displayed on the Main Menu, only

if your ALERT J5 has been previously calibrated. It is not

possible for you to deactivate the device.

To activate:

1. From the Not Activated screen, press the left button

to activate it. The date the device was deactivated is

shown.

2. Press the right button to activate the device. The

calibration due date is now 365 days from the current

date.

Battery

The ALERT J5 requires two AA Alkaline batteries to

operate. To insert, remove the battery compartment rear

cover (press the tab to release).
