The Alcoholmeter is at its lowest level (less than 0.075 mg/L in the breath) and the screen will turn green, the indicators will not show digits which will determine that the driver is not under the influence of alcohol.

When the screen turns from green to an oragne colour it will have an indication of 3 decimal points eg.,. from 0.15 to 0.24 whcih will determine a "pre alert" level.

When the screen appears red and a "flashing NO DRIVE" warning appears, the digits will have a level greater than 0.75mg/L and the motorist will not be able to continue their journey.
