and provide feedback on any issues the instrument has sending emails.
Activating Send will initiate a test email with the current configuration. The Test Email panel
will then report the status of sending the email and if it fails, indicate information about
how sending the test email failed. Due to the very long time out periods specified for email
configuration, if there is an issue with the Mail Server settings, it can take a very long time

REF: WM4 User Manual V9.docx Page 34 © Alcolizer Technology

for the test email to fail and this can also block further test emails being sent until the time
out for the previous email has sent.

12.2 Email Reports

12.2.1 Breath Test Results
The instrument can be configured to send an email detailed results of a breath test. This can
be done for both zero and positive results. If instrument authentication is enabled, the
report can also include information about previous breath tests from the same
authentication code.

12.2.2 Instrument Status

Notification about changes in instrument status can be sent from the instrument for various
types of status information. The report includes information on all currently active status
items, not just the status item that changed state. The status options are:
• Faults (Permanently Out of Order) – send an email if a fault is raised or cleared.
• Alerts (Temporarily Out of Order) – send an email if an alert is raised or cleared.
• Warning – send an email if an alert is asserted or cleared.
• Notice – send an email if a notice is asserted or cleared.

12.2.3 Event Log Report

The instrument can be configured to send periodic emails containing log information for the
given period. The interval for the report can be configured from hourly through to monthly
and the day or hour the report will occur on is dependent on the start date. For example:
• The current date is the 3rd of October 2013.
• The Start Time chosen is on the 29th of September 2013, 12 noon.
• The Report Interval is Weekly.
• The next email will be sent on the 6th of October 2013, 12 noon.

13 Relays
The WM4 is equipped with three relay outputs on the circuit board and their outputs can be
configured to trigger in response to a breath test result. To access the Relays Menu refer to
paragraph 7.1.
If a relay output is enabled, the relay will trigger for the specified duration if the breath test
result is greater than or equal to the minimum value and less than the maximum value.
The relay outputs are independent of each other. The minimum and maximum values can
overlap such that one, two, or three relays can be triggered simultaneously.
If a new breath test result is calculated while a relay output is asserted from the previous
test, the relay takes the value required by the new test.

13.1 Hardware
The relays outputs are labelled on the circuit board as Relay1, Relay2 and Relay3.
Each relay output has three terminals:
• COM: Common connection.
• NC: Normally Closed, the COM/NC circuit is closed (passes current) when the relay
is not triggered and open when the relay is triggered.
• NO: Normally Open, the COM/NO circuit is open when the relay is not triggered and
closed (passes current) when the relay is triggered.

REF: WM4 User Manual V9.docx Page 36 © Alcolizer Technology

 •

13.2 Configuration
There are three relays available and their behaviour can be configured on the Relays page.
For each relay the following properties can be configured:
• Enabled: If checked, indicates that the relay should respond to breath test results
and enables remaining configuration items for the relay.
• Min: If a result is greater than this value the relay should turn on for the configured
duration. If the minimum value is 0.00 for example, the relay should turn on if the
value of the result is greater than or equal 0.00.
• Max: If a result is less than this value the relay should turn on for the configured
duration. If the maximum value is 0.00 the relay should turn on if the value of the
result is less than or equal 0.00.
• Duration: If the relay is enabled and a breath test result falls within its configured
range, the relay should fire for a number of seconds equal to the configured
duration.

The Relay Status indicates if the relay is currently ON or OFF.

There are three buttons on this page that briefly activates the relays.

NOTE
It is possible for breath test results near a configured value for the relays to act differently
depending on whether the actual value was slightly above or below the displayed value.
This is due to the nature of the analog input from the fuel cell and possible rounding
behaviour below the precision of the displayed value.
In this situation the instrument will not activate two relays in the situation where one
relay shares a nonzero maximum with the minimum value from another relay.
REF: WM4 User Manual V9.docx Page 37 © Alcolizer Technology
14 Self-Check
This page allows running some automated self-checks of the instrument to validate the
instrument configuration and behaviour.
Each test indicates whether it has been recently tested and lists a title as well as provides a
description of what the test does. One, many, or all tests can be run. Some tests require a
degree of user interaction and if this occurs instructions will appear on the screen indicating
how to proceed.

17 Breath Test Authorisation

Breath test authorisation is a feature that prevents the wallmount from performing a breath
test until it has received authorisation from an external agent (remote serial device, keypad,
etc). The authorising agent sends a code to the wallmount that allows the wallmount to
execute a single breath test. Once the test is performed the authorisation code and
authorisation source is logged with the breath test result in the event log and the wallmount
waits for authorisation to perform further tests. If a breath test is not performed within a
timeout period the authorisation expires and the wallmount must receive a new
authorisation code to perform further tests.
Authorising agents connect to the wallmount through authorisation channels. An
authorisation channel is a combination of a physical connection (serial port, ethernet port,
etc) and a software protocol operating over that physical connection.
• The following authorisation channels are supported depending on model being used:
• Two RS-232 serial ports (Serial 1 and Serial 2) running the americium serial protocol.

REF: WM4 User Manual V9.docx Page 40 © Alcolizer Technology

 • An attached Wiegand USB device running the Wiegand serial protocol.

• Any number of direct network connections running the americium serial protocol.
• HID input device attached to a USB port (keyboard, card reader, etc).
• The coin mechanism hardware.

17.1 Serial Port Authorisation

The two RS-232 serial ports are activated with the americium serial protocol (v2) at all
times, whether test authorisation is enabled or not. This means that all breath test results
are sent by the wall mount on both serial ports.
If authorisation is enabled then an agent can send authorisation codes to the wall mount
on either serial port.
The instrument also supports Wiegand based test authorization, if enabled in production.

17.1.1 Americium Serial Protocol

The americium serial protocol operates on both serial ports with the following settings:
• Protocol version: am-spec-02
• Date/Time: local time (not UTC)
Please contact your Alcolizer Technology representative for further advice.

17.2 Wiegand USB device

The Wiegand support operates via USB serial connections and allows a test to be authorized
via a Wiegand card reader.

17.2.1 Direct Network Connection

If enabled on the Service page on Networks menu, the americium protocol can operate over
a direct network connection on a configurable port number.
When a remote device connects to the wall mount it will receive all breath test results
according to the americium protocol specification.
If breath test authorisation is enabled the remote device can also authorise breath tests.
There is no limit to the number of devices that can connect simultaneously to the wall
mount.

17.2.2 USB Input Device Authorisation

Any HID input device connected to a USB port (e.g. keyboard, card reader, etc.) can be used
to enter authorisation codes.
Legal characters are a-z, A-Z, and 0-9, all other characters are ignored.
A carriage return <Enter> is required to submit the data.
The <Esc> key is used to cancel data entry.

REF: WM4 User Manual V9.docx Page 41 © Alcolizer Technology

17.3 Coin Mechanism Authorisation
The coin mechanism is a hardware peripheral that attaches to the IN1 trigger input.
When this hardware input is closed (e.g. by a coin received in the coin mechanism) a single
breath test is authorised.

17.3.1 Coin Count

To access the coin count, navigate to the status page and the coin count is displayed as per
the figure below

To reset the coin count function, press the FN-3 Button. Coin count will be reset.
