SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

The Dräger Interlock® 7000 must be serviced every month. The

following services are included in your monthly fees and will occur

at each service:

• Check seals for tampering and handset label

• Check for misuse, abuse or neglect of unit

• Download of data

• Test equipment is functioning correctly

This will take approx. 15 mins to complete (20 mins if a calibration

is required).

Your scheduled services will be set to the day of installation for each

month, called the anniversary date. For example, if the Dräger

Interlock® 7000 is installed on the 23rd of January, the next service

date will be set to the 23rd of every month. At each service, your next

anniversary date will be programmed into the Dräger Interlock® 7000.

The display will show a reminder message 7 days before your service

is required, warning you that the Dräger Interlock® 7000 is due.

You are given an additional 7 days grace after your service date.

If your Dräger Interlock® 7000 is not serviced within this time, it

will enter into a permanent lockout state. If you have your alcohol

interlock serviced during the 7 days grace, your next service date

will be set back to the anniversary date.

A permanent lockout will require you to either have your vehicle

towed to the Service Centre or request a Service Unlock Code.

Both will be at your expense.

EMERGENCY CONTACTS

All calls are logged, and resulting actions recorded. Please note

that emergency calls resulting from actions caused by you acting

outside the parameters of the scheme will be at additional costs

and payment prior to a service will be requested.

Only services relating to faulty equipment or installation, where

evidence of tampering, misuse, abuse, neglect or vehicle

accident is not apparent will be free of charge. However, it is your

responsibility to bring the vehicle with the Dräger Interlock® 7000

to the Service Centre.

WHAT IS THE DRÄGER INTERLOCK® 7000?

The Dräger Interlock® 7000 is a reliable and precise alcohol

measuring instrument with integrated vehicle immobiliser. It

prevents a person under the inﬂuence of alcohol from starting the

vehicle. The Dräger Interlock® 7000 consists of two components:

handset and control box.

HOW DOES THE DRÄGER INTERLOCK® 7000 WORK?

Before you can start the engine, the device measures the alcohol

content in your breath. When no alcohol is detected, you can drive,

however, if alcohol is detected, you will not be able to start your

vehicle. Retests are required while driving and are carried out at

random intervals. The Dräger Interlock® 7000 does not interfere

with a running engine. Therefore, your driving will not be disrupted

by the device.

The Dräger Interlock® 7000 can diﬀerentiate between mouth

alcohol and breath alcohol. Mouth alcohol caused by food and

beverages that contain small amounts of alcohol can aﬀect the test

result. You cannot start the vehicle for a pre-deﬁned period of time

if a certain breath alcohol concentration is detected.

The Dräger Interlock® 7000 records all alcohol readings, vehicle

starts, engine shut-oﬀs and violations. This data is downloaded at

each service and sent to the Department of Transport for review.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

- Keep the unit clean and dry at all times.

- Use a clean and dry mouthpiece when providing breath samples.

- Do not eat, consume alcohol, use alcohol based products,

including mouthwash or smoke for 15 minutes prior to using the

Dräger Interlock® 7000.

- Alcohol can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after your last drink

and it can take further 10 hours for your body to return to a zero

reading after large volumes have been consumed.

- Make sure ambient air does not contain alcohol or solvent

vapours, e.g. air fresheners.

- Avoid placing the Dräger Interlock® 7000 on the vehicle ﬂoor. If

the device is not secured, it may interfere with the pedals and the

safe operation of the vehicle.

- You must not use the Dräger Interlock® 7000 while driving. If you

are asked for a breath test, you have 10 minutes to pull over and

present the breath test. Do not turn the vehicle oﬀ.

- Do not remove the handset label “WA Approved Interlock”.

- You must not start the vehicle without providing a breath sample

or disconnect the vehicle battery for longer than 20 minutes as

this may be seen as tampering.

- It is not allowed to tamper with, abuse, misuse and/or neglect the

Dräger Interlock® 7000

- Contact your Service Agent with any questions of concern.

HOW DO I START THE VEHICLE?

1. Wait 15 mins after eating, drinking, smoking or using alcohol

based products.

2. Ensure a clean mouthpiece is inserted properly into the

Dräger Interlock® 7000.

3. Switch the ignition on.

4. The display will show “Ready for TEST – Please blow”.

5. Take a deep breath and blow steadily into the mouthpiece.

6. During the test you will hear the device click three times. When

you hear the third click, brieﬂy suck in some air. The coloured

LEDs and the display will indicate that the breath test is complete.

The Dräger Interlock® 7000 will display the following messages if

the blow pattern is correct:

“Test Passed” - A green LED conﬁrms the result and the vehicle

can be started.

“Test Failed” - A red LED conﬁrms the result.

In this case, the vehicle cannot be started.

WHAT IF I FAIL THE INITIAL TEST?

After a failed initial breath test due to detection of alcohol, the

vehicle will not start and a “Temporary Lockout” will be activated.

A countdown will show on the display the amount of time remaining

before another breath test can be presented. Once the temporary

lockout period has expired, repeat steps 3 - 6 under “How do I

start the vehicle” to present another breath test. In case mouth

alcohol is detected, the message “Interferent detected - Repeat

test” will appear. Press the “OK” button to take a new test.

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 did not blow long enough

“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 10 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 the trip.

If you fail or do not provide a retest within the 10 minute frame,

the vehicle’s horn will sound and hazard lights will ﬂash. You must

pull over out of traﬃc and turn your vehicle oﬀ to deactivate the

vehicle’s horn and hazard lights.
