DRAEGER INTERLOCK
®
XT
OVERVIEW
What does the Draeger Interlock do?
• It allows you to start your vehicle when you blow a breath sample without alcohol.
• Use it correctly and you can continue to drive your vehicle.
How does it work?
• The system measures and records your BAC level before you start your vehicle. When
your BAC level is below the set limit, your vehicle will start. If your BAC level is too
high, your vehicle will not start.
• The system will also require you to submit additional breath tests while you drive.
• The Interlock records all BAC readings, vehicle starts, engine shut-offs, violations, etc.,
as well as the date and time of each event. A computer records these events each time
you go to the service center for a service check.
Does the device have to be serviced after installation?
• Yes! The Interlock will indicate when service is due. You will not be able to start your
vehicle if you do not have the device serviced as required.
• Make sure you get the device serviced as required. See back inside cover for your service
requirements.
IMPORTANT DO’S AND DONT’S
For correct operation of the Interlock:
• DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
• DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing breath tests.
• DO contact your Service Technician with any questions or concerns.
• DO NOT consume alcohol, use alcohol-based products (such as mouthwash), or smoke
for 15 minutes before using the Interlock. Alcohol remaining in the mouth shortly after
drinking can produce high readings.
• 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 at all unsure about your safety. If you
are asked for a breath test while driving, you will have enough time to pull over, stop the
vehicle and present the breath test.
• DO NOT attempt to disable the Interlock, or fail to undergo a proper Retest. This will
shorten the service interval and these actions are recorded in memory.
• DO NOT tamper with, abuse, misuse and/or neglect the Interlock device.
NOTE:
BAC = Breath Alcohol Concentration
WARNING
Leave the tamper-evident label in place.
Any attempt to remove the label is a
violation!
WARNING
To ensure a valid breath test, you must abstain from eating, drinking any uids (with
the exception of water) or smoking for at least 15 minutes prior to providing an initial
breath test. The same deprivation period applies to the use of mouthwash, cough syrup,
other alcohol containing medication, perfumes and colognes. Because the Interlock
might require a rolling retest, you should not eat, drink (with exception of water) or
smoke while driving the car.
