There are 2 ways to use the passive test mode:
A directed passive test, using the breath sampling cup
A drink sniffer test using the Drink/Headspace Sniffer attachment
A directed passive test This passive test mode allows the operator to screen many people quickly for the presence of alcohol, without the need for a mouthpiece.

Hold the device a few inches away from the donor and ask them to blow into the cup, until you ask them to stop. You will hear a click indicating there is enough sample to run the test. The device will have a dash running across the display signalling that it is analysing the sample
The device will then show NEG, if no alcohol is detected or POS if alcohol has been detected
If alcohol is detected at this point, you can carry out a direct test to establish how much alcohol is present
