WHAT IS THE DRÄGER INTERLOCK XT?
The Dräger Interlock XT is a device that prevents a
person under the inuence of alcohol from starting
the vehicle.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The system measures the amount of alcohol in your
body before starting your vehicle. When no alcohol
is detected, you can drive, however, if alcohol is
detected, you will not be able to start your vehicle.
The system will also ask you to provide additional
breath tests while you are driving.
The Interlock records all alcohol readings, vehicle
starts, engine shut-os and violations. This data is
downloaded at each monthly service and sent to
the Road Transport Authority for review.
ALCOHOL AND YOUR BODY
It is important to know that alcohol can continue
to rise for up to 2 hours after your last drink and
it can take a further 10 hours for your body to
return to a zero reading after large volumes have
been consumed.
Your mouth holds residual alcohol for up to 15
minutes after your last drink. It is important that you
wait 15 minutes prior to testing as you may produce
a high BAC reading. Mouthwash and other alcohol
based products may also have this eect.
IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS
– DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
– DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing
breath samples.
– DO contact your Service Agent with any
questions of concern.
– DO NOT eat, consume alcohol, use alcohol
based products, including mouthwash or smoke
for 15 minutes before using the Interlock. Alcohol
remaining in the mouth shortly after drinking can
produce readings that will be recorded and may
result in a VIOLATION.
– DO NOT place the Interlock unit on the vehicle
oor. If the device is not secured, it may interfere
with the pedals and the safe operation of the
vehicle.
– DO NOT use the Interlock while driving. If you
are asked for a breath test while driving, you have
5 minutes to pull over and present the breath
test. Do not turn the vehicle o.
– DO NOT attempt to disable the Interlock, or
ignore a retest. This will shorten the service
interval and these actions are recorded in the
memory.
– DO NOT tamper with, abuse, misuse and/or
neglect the Interlock device.
HOW DO I START THE VEHICLE?
You must wait 15 minutes after drinking to let
the residual mouth alcohol disappear.
1. Wait 15 minutes after smoking, remove gum or
anything else from mouth.
2. Make sure a clean mouthpiece is inserted
properly into the Interlock.
3. Turn key to “ON” position and wait for the
Interlock to activate.
4. The display will show “Ready for TEST –
PLEASE BLOW” and the yellow light will ash
when it is ready for a breath sample.
5. Take a deep breath and blow steadily into the
mouthpiece.
6. As you blow, a buzzer will sound to indicate
that you are blowing correctly. When the
buzzer stops and you hear a click, give a short
suck back to complete your breath test.
