HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM BLOWING AND SUCKING
CORRECTLY?
The Dräger Interlock® 7000 will let you know if you
are
not presenting a correct sample. If an error
occurs during the breath test, the device will alert
you
with audible and visual signals. If you hear a
beep during the measurement, stop blowing and
look
at the display. The following guidelines will help
you to find and eliminate the problem:
– “Blow longer!”
– You need to blow longer.
– “Blow stronger!” – You need to blow harder.
– “Suck after blow”
– You did not suck back
correctly.
Press the “OK” button to take a new test.
BREATH TESTS WHILST DRIVING
The Dräger Interlock® 7000 will ask for random
breath
test, “Rolling Retests”, while you are driving.
When a retest is due, the unit will beep and the blue
light
will flash. The display will read “Retest required –
Please blow.”
– Pull over, out of traffic when it is safe to do so.
– Don’t panic – You have 5 minutes to provide the
breath
sample.
– There is no need to turn the vehicle off.
– Take the breath test as you would to start your
vehicle.
– Once you see “Test passed” on the display,
secure the device and continue your trip.
If you fail or do not provide a retest within the 5 minute
frame, the vehicle’s horn will sound and lights will
flash. You must pull over out of traffic and turn your
vehicle
off to deactivate the vehicle’s horn and lights.
If a retest is failed, the Dräger Interlock® 7000 will
start
a 30 minute lockout period.
