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.
EARLY SERVICE RECALL
The Dräger Interlock® 7000 may require an early service due to
device malfunctions.
