Before providing a sample

1. Your Autowatch TAB reacts very specifically to the presence of alcohol in the breath.

However, it can be affected by, for example, use of mouthwash or the application of perfume and

aftershave immediately before taking your sample. All of these products contain alcohol and their

presence may affect the results determined by the instrument.

2. Similarly, results can also be affected if you have consumed alcohol up to 20 minutes before providing a

sample. This is because your mouth may still contain residual alcohol from the last drink.

3. Smoking within up to two minutes of providing a sample may also produce affected results.

TAB Power-on

The TAB will turn on automatically when a breath sample is required, alternatively to switch on, press and

release the Power Button. A confirming beep will sound, followed by a series of screens showing:

4. Windscreen washers and substances that contain Isopropanol can cause the cabin of the vehicle to be

flooded with vapour. This is breathed in then out when you are taking a breath sample. This will cause

you to “FAIL” a sample.

5) Make sure that the temperature of the mouthpiece is not excessively cold. A cold Mouthpiece will cause

a circumvention.

Guide

While inserting the mouthpiece, ensure Guide Slot lines

up with the guide on the left side of the mouthpiece holder.

DISPOSABLE MOUTHPIECE

The mouthpiece must be fitted into the

mouthpiece holder before use of the instrument

for breath testing.

Please note that the mouthpiece will only fit into

the instrument if orientated correctly.

Unwrap mouthpiece from its protective packaging

and, with the guide slot facing left, slide the mouthpiece into the opening of the mouthpiece holder (with

instrument display facing you and buttons to the top).

The guide slot must slide over the corresponding guide pin in the holder and the mouthpiece pushed in until it

will move no further.

Failure to correctly insert the mouthpiece may result in the instrument refusing to take a breath sample and

therefore preventing the vehicle from being started.

The mouthpieces are disposable, manufactured under hygienic conditions and supplied in individual

wrappers.

NB: We recommend that a new mouthpiece is used for each test.

Please recycle mouthpiece fittings

Meanwhile, the TAB automatically checks its operating parameters. When

the TAB is ready to take a sample a further single beep will sound, followed by

the message:

Please Wait

The TAB display will then show with a task bar to show progress of

sample test.

After a few seconds your breath sample will have been analysed and, if the breath

alcohol level is below the pre-set limit, then "PASS” will appear on the TAB display

and a coded signal will be sent immediately to the VBS in order to unblock the

Vehicle Blocking System.

The RED LED will flash rapidly and extinguish confirming that the Blocking System

has been unblocked. This status will be recorded by the VBS and the TAB with date

and time.

You may now start your vehicle. (*The specific time period in which you have to start

your vehicle is set at a factory default of 5 minutes. This time can be changed by

arrangement with your service/fitment centre and can be set to 5, 10, 20 or 30

minutes.)

The TAB will automatically shut down shortly after a valid breath sample is accepted

or by pressing and holding the large Power button until the TAB shuts down.

If the ambient temperature is below 25°C the unit will display “Please Wait Unit

Heating” with a progress bar. The operational temperature of this unit is -40° C to

85° C

"Analysing"

If the TAB is OFF, switch it ON. When the display shows “Fit Mouthpiece, Give

Sample” provide a breath sample as described on page 2.

Before starting the vehicle the RED LED on the Driver Change Button will be

flashing indicating that the vehicle is blocked by the VBS (Vehicle Blocking System).

It is recommended that the VBS immobiliser is unblocked prior to turning on the

vehicle ignition.

To achieve this, follow the procedure below:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Providing a breath sample

Take a deep breath, seal your lips around the wide end of

the mouthpiece and blow into it with moderate force. The

instrument will detect your breath flow and will emit a

continuous tone as long as you are blowing correctly. Once

sufficient breath has been blown the tone will stop and a

click will be heard. The TAB will then analyze your breath

sample.

NB : It is important to ensure that the breath outlet is not

blocked in any way while providing a breath sample.

The user needs to blow for at least 3 seconds. This

guarantees deep lung air that has diffused from your blood

into the air in your lungs, to give a valid alcohol reading.

NOTE : The TAB is equipped with highly sophisticated methods of detecting sample tampering.

Any attempt to start your vehicle without providing an adult human breath sample will be logged

within the system and you may be required to explain your actions at a later date.

Keep

breath outlet

free of any

obstructions.

1. The TAB will turn “ON” automatically, when the display shows “Fit Mouthpiece, Give Sample”

follow the same procedure to provide a breath sample as described on page 2.

2. The TAB analyses the breath sample as before and the VBS records the result.

Should the “Random Testing” option be selected at installation, while the vehicle is on route, the VBS buzzer

will sound as a request for a random breath sample. (This will be randomly repeated at any stage of the

journey).

RANDOM “ON THE ROAD” TESTING

Should no breath sample be supplied within a preset period, the buzzer will stop and the RED LED will start to

flash at a faster rate continuously until a valid sample is presented.

NOTE : Failure to provide a breath sample for analysis during random testing or providing a

sample that exceeds the predetermined level, will not cause the vehicle to stop, however, failure to

provide a breath sample or providing a sample that exceeds the predetermined level will cause a

non event to be presented at the GSM output to be sent if the GSM module is connected (Optional).

If the vehicle is stopped and the ignition turned off, it will be blocked immediately.

DRIVER CHANGING

Should a new driver be required to take over driving responsibilities, the

following procedure needs to be followed:

1. As the new driver takes over, the Driver Change Button must be pressed.

2. The VBS buzzer will sound to request a new breath sample.

3. The TAB will turn “ON” automatically, when the display shows “Fit Mouthpiece, Take Sample” follow

the same procedure to provide a breath sample as described on page 2.

4. The TAB analyses the breath sample as usual, the VBS records the result and the driver test timer is

reset.

IF THE VBS FAILS TO UN-BLOCK (Invalid breath sample)

1. If the TAB displays "FAIL” then it has detected alcohol in the breath at a level

in excess of the preset limit. If you have observed the points shown in the

"Before Providing a Sample" section of these instructions, then you have a

breath alcohol level above the pre-set limit. The RED LED will flash rapidly, and

the Blocking System will remain blocked, the RED LED will continue flashing

and the vehicle will not start. This event will be recorded by the VBS with date

and time. (If the optional GSM module is connected an SMS message will be

automatically sent to a mobile phone or the control centre that a failure as taken

place)The system may also be linked to a fleet management system - ask

your service/installation centre.

You should wait for approximately 30 minutes and then provide a

further sample, by which time your body may have metabolised the

alcohol and reduced the level below the preset limit.

2. If the TAB displays "Insufficient Sample" then one or more of

the following could be the cause of the problem.

Insufficient length of blow (Volume).

Incorrect force of blow (Too hard or too soft).

If “Insufficient Sample” is displayed after providing a breath sample when

the tone was heard, it will most likely be an indication of an incorrectly

positioned mouthpiece.

NOTE : Failure to provide a breath sample for analysis during driver changing or providing a

sample that exceeds the predetermined level will cause the vehicle to remain blocked, moreover,

will result in a non event being presented at the GSM output to be sent if the GSM module is

connected (Optional). If the vehicle is stopped and the ignition turned off, it will be blocked

immediately.
