Install the device in a location with sufficient lighting
●
Do not use the facial recognition feature under a strong light.
●
Do not expose the device to the sun for a prolonged period of time.
●
Do not use in locations that are subject to high humidity. Excessive humidity may cause
damage to the device's components.
●
Do not install in locations with large temperature fluctuations throughout the day as this may
affect temperature calibration and body temperature results.
●
Choose an installation location that has a regular, room temperature - away from direct
sunlight, excessive heat or cold air (e.g. directly facing an air conditioner). Excessively hot or
cold temperatures may affect body temperature readings.
●
Use our provided power adapter- connecting it to an improper power source may damage
your equipment and lead to fire and/or damage.
●
Keep the camera clean for optimum photos and facial recognition.
●
Device should be installed facing directly forward with as little tilt or inclination as possible to
ensure the best body temperature results.
WALL-MOUNTING THE DEVICE
To mount on the wall, use the appropriate
screws (2) and wall anchors (2) for the type
of wall material you are mounting the device
to.
Drill two holes on the wall (depth: 50mm,
distance between: 34mm). Put the wall
anchors inside the hole, and push the screw
inside the wall anchors. Reserve around a
10mm gap from the wall, and fix the device
into place, then hang the device.

The Andalink is a secure, cloud-based software that bridges the Soberlive FRX with a complete data
management system. With Andalink, company and OH&S managers can register users and faces, as
well as view, download, and manage reports for their employees' alcohol and temperature results.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS / ANDALINK MANUAL
For instructions on how to set up your Andalink account for your Soberlive FRX, please visit
andatech.com.au/andalink-manual to see the updated Andalink manual and log in with the
credentials provided in the letter with your device during purchase.
ADMIN SETUP
Important: Before operating the Soberlive FRX, please create at least one (1) staff that has the user
role Admin for each location/device.
By default, an Admin staff is required to conduct the Admin Temperature Calibration on the device
during startup.
You can disable this requirement or add a new Admin user on the device under Advanced Setting.
You can also add new Admin users online on Andalink (refer to Andalink manual above).
ANDALINK SYNC

ABOUT TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The Temperature Calibration is required to evaluate and adjust the precision and accuracy of the
Soberlive FRX's temperature measurements.
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
To perform a Temperature Calibration, a calibration operator stands in
front of the Soberlive FRX and faces the camera.
The device will then take their temperature and use that as the
guideline for 'normal body temperature'.
Note: It is recommended that the calibration operator first check their
body temperature (e.g. with a separate accurate, reliable handheld
thermometer) to make sure that it is normal (within 36~36.5°C) before
performing the Temperature Calibration.
ADMIN TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION (ON DEVICE
STARTUP)
Each time the device is switched on, it takes 10 minutes to warm up
and will then require a Temperature Calibration.
This can only be performed by an Admin user or by any user (if enabled under Advanced Settings).
Note: The device will auto-restart daily at 4AM (device time) by default - this setting can be changed in
Device Settings. Any software updates are done automatically during restart as long as your device is
connected to the internet.
INTERVAL TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
During normal operation, the device will also require a
Temperature Calibration at regular intervals (recommended /
default setting: 60 minutes)
When the device requires Temperature Calibration, the Thermal
Imaging Display will turn completely orange and the Notification
Box will show 'Please contact calibration operator' if anyone
attempts to take a test.
A normal test cannot be taken until a calibration operator
performs the Temperature Calibration.
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
If a temperature calibration is needed outside of its regular
interval period (e.g. temperatures seem too high or too low, or is
measuring inconsistently), a manual temperature calibration can
be performed.
9
To do this, connect a mouse to the device and enter the Device Settings Menu > Temperature
Calibration and click on 'Start Manual Calibration'. Then, follow the steps under 'Temperature
Calibration Procedure'.
CALIBRATION OPERATORS
By default, only a user with an Admin role (set in Andalink) can
conduct the Interval and Manual Temperature Calibration.
The calibration operator for these can be changed to a non-Admin (any user) under Advanced
Settings (Temperature) by un-ticking the checkbox for 'Temperature calibration by operator only'.
The calibration operator for Admin Temperature Calibration (on device startup) can also be changed
to any user under Advanced Settings (Temperature).
Refer to Advanced Settings (Temperature) for more information.
10
The operating temperature range is between -10°C to 50°C. Using the device within this
temperature range will limit condensation from a user’s breath to ensure an accurate reading
from a user’s breath sample.
2.
It is recommended that the user does not consume anything for 20 minutes before the breath
test. Following this procedure will eliminate possible misreadings from mouth alcohol and
food.
3.
The device can be used with either a sampling cup or a straw adapter and regular drinking
straws (not provided). Set the alcohol test type to either Quick Test Mode or Standard Test
Mode under Advanced Settings (Blow) and install either the sampling cup or straw adapter
onto the device before using.
a.
The sampling cup is recommended for Quick Test Mode. The sampling cup should be
cleaned with a non-alcohol disinfectant and wiped dry between each test to prevent
cross contamination or alcohol residue from affecting the next reading.
b.
The straw adaptor is recommended for Standard Test Mode. Users should be
provided with individually wrapped regular drinking straws (not provided) to take a
test. Each user should use a new straw for each test and dispose of the used straw
hygienically after testing.
4.
After switching on the device, allow 10 minutes for the device to warm up before performing
the Admin Temperature Calibration.
11
Follow the device's instructions shown in the Notification Area when taking a test.
1.
'Face camera. Keep face inside the frame'
Stand in front of the device, face the camera and position face within the Facial Recognition
Frame shown on the LCD display.
2.
Device will analyse the results and display them in the Notification Area.
a.
If the temperature reading is above the Body Temperature Limit, an alert will sound
and the test procedure ends.
b.
If the temperature reading is below the Body Temperature Limit, the test will proceed
to the next step.
Note: Body Temperature Limit is set under Advanced Settings.
3.
Device will then prompt the user to take an alcohol breath test. Follow the instructions in the
Notification Area:
4.
Device will analyse the results and display them in the Notification Area along with a voice
alert (if enabled) as “Pass/Fail” “Name/Visitor” “Body temperature” “Alcohol reading” .
Note: Pass/Fail alcohol limit is 0.00 by default and cannot be changed. Any result over 0.00
will be a 'Fail'.
5.
Results are synced to Andalink immediately after each test (if device is connected to the
internet).
6.
A new user can take another test by repeating from Step 1.
Note: Check ‘Test Delay’ under Advanced Settings menu for the time delay before the next
test can be taken.

1. Can a user delete or edit their details or test results?
No, this cannot be done on the device or in Andalink by any user (including by Admins or Managers).
2. How instant are the Soberlive FRX's test results, changes and updates synced to Andalink?
They sync automatically every 10 minutes. You can do a Force Synchronisation to sync it instantly.
3. What will happen if the Wi-Fi or internet is down in my location?
The Soberlive FRX will continue to operate and save test results offline. Once it is connected to the
internet or Wi-Fi network again, it will sync the results to the Andalink.
4. What is tail sampling and when should I enable or disable it?
Tail sampling takes the breath sample from the end of the blow. This is common in evidential testing
devices to make sure that the breath sample is a deep lung sample to provide an accurate alcohol
test result.
If you have enabled Standard Test mode and have users providing the breath sample using a straw,
you can enable Tail Sampling to get a more accurate alcohol test result.
However, if you are using the Soberlive FRX as a screening device and just need a pass or fail result
(Quick Test mode and using a sampling cup), then you can disable Tail Sampling.
BREATHALYSER DISCLAIMERS
●
This product must be used strictly in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
●
This product is intended to provide the user with an indication of alcohol on the breath.
However, neither the manufacturer nor the supplier gives any warranty (express or implied)
that the product can give any indication of blood alcohol level.
●
A person's BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) can only be accurately measured by the
administration of a blood test. This product only measures breath alcohol content which, in
turn, only gives an approximate indication of blood alcohol concentration.
●
In these circumstances the user of this product should not rely on the information provided
thereby as an accurate indication of their blood alcohol concentration or of their level of
intoxication or of their fitness to drive and in particular should not take any action in reliance
on such information as the product can provide no more than an indication of alcohol on the
breath.
●
If the user of this product makes any decision or takes any action based on the use of the
product such decision or such action shall be at the sole risk of the user and neither the
manufacturer nor the supplier assumes any responsibility for such decision or action.

MEASUREMENTS & CONDITIONS FOR ALCOHOL TESTING
●
Use a clean sampling cup or straw for each test. Sampling cups should be replaced after
each positive BAC test result or when it is dirty.
●
Do not allow samples containing smoke, tobacco or other chemical products to enter the unit,
as damage to the fuel cell can occur. Cigarette smoke may also increase the blood alcohol
concentration value displayed. Allow one minute after smoking before testing.
●
There must be an interval of at least 15 minutes after alcohol consumption as alcohol residue
in the mouth may give a false reading. Such residue may also be left by aromatic drinks,
mouthwash, medicines and drops, as well as by belching and vomiting. Rinsing your mouth
with water or non-alcoholic drinks does not substitute for an interval.
●
A person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after
drinking alcohol. If a result is close to the designated BAC, it is recommended to wait and
retest after 20 minutes.
●
It can take 10 hours or more for a person's BAC to return to zero after a high BAC has been
reached. A further test should be carried out later in the day or the following morning.
LIABILITY FOR PROPER FUNCTION OR DAMAGE
The liability for proper functioning of the instrument is irrevocably transferred to the owner or operator
in the event the instrument is serviced or repaired by personnel not employed or authorised by
Andatech. In such an event, the warranty will be void.
