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.
7
The Andalink is a secure, cloud-based software that bridges the Soberlive FR 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 results.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
For instructions on how to set up your Andalink account for your Soberlive FR, please visit
andatech.com.au/andalink-manual and log in with the credentials provided in the letter with your
device during purchase.
ANDALINK SYNC
Test results from the device are synced to Andalink immediately (as long as there is an active internet
connection on the device).
All other changes from Andalink to the device are synced every 10 minutes.
FORCE SYNC
To Force Sync the device with Andalink, connect a mouse to the device.
Then click and hold the cursor on the version number (displayed on the bottom right of
the device screen).
The server (cloud) icon will start rotating and display a downward arrow icon to indicate
that it is syncing.
The Force Sync is complete when the icon stops rotating. The number beside the icon will be updated
to show the updated number of registered faces synced from Andalink, and a pop-up message will
appear in the Notification Area that the Force Sync is complete.
8
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 using.
9
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 then prompt the user to take an alcohol breath test. Follow the instructions in the
Notification Area:
'Please Blow'
Quick test mode - Blow fast and hard into the
sampling cup from a distance of 3-5 cm without
touching the sampling cup
Standard test mode - Insert a drinking straw into the
straw adaptor and blow slow and steadily into the
straw
'Blowing'
(only displays during standard test
mode)
Continue blowing into the straw
'Blow completed. Please Wait'
Stop blowing and wait for the results
3.
Device will analyse the results and display them in the Notification Area along with a voice
alert (if enabled) as “Pass/Fail” “Name/Visitor” “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'.
4.
Results are synced to Andalink immediately after each test (if device is connected to the
internet).
5.
A new user can take another test by repeating from Step 1.

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 FR'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 FR 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 FR 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.
●
In particular, neither the manufacturer nor the supplier shall be in any way liable if the user of
the product asserts that the product led them to believe they were fit to operate a motor
vehicle and are subsequently found not to be so fit.
23
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.
