Benefits
Prior to starting the engine, the Dräger Interlock XT requests a breath sample. If alcohol is detected above a prescribed limit, the immobilizer system prevents the motor from starting. Otherwise, the starter is activated for the driver to start the vehicle. The device will also prompt the driver to retest periodically while en route. The device will not disrupt the engine function once the engine has been started, but the event will be recorded.
The Dräger Interlock XT determines the breath alcohol concentration via an electro-chemical sensor system. The device is responsive to alcohol only.
To avoid long waiting periods, Dräger put emphasis on the Interlock XT being ready to use. Its functionality is as good at -40 °F or +185 °F as it is in normal conditions. The name affix “XT” stands for “eXtended Temperature”.
The device immediately detects any attempt to use auxiliaries, such as air pumps or filters to bypass the Dräger Interlock XT. It will prevent the motor from starting in such cases.
The data memory records more than 30,000 events and can be read via special PC software.
Benefits
An ignition interlock device (IID) is a small handheld car breathalyzer device and measures the amount of alcohol in the user’s breath. Installing one is a common requirement following a drunk driving offense (DUI, DWI, DUI, OWI, or OVI).
In simplest terms, an interlock device is an in-car breathalyzer that prevents a user from starting a vehicle until a breath alcohol test is taken. An ignition interlock device is a proper term for devices sometimes referred to as “in-car breathalyzer” or “car interlock” or “blow and go”. LifeSafer is the premier provider of all these systems at low cost in almost 2,000 convenient locations, one that is likely near you. Ready to install?
If the IID registers the breath test results (BAC or Blood Alcohol Concentration) over the pre-set limit, the vehicle will not start. If the driver’s breath test is below the pre-set limit, the vehicle will start. The interlock device needs to be serviced and calibrated at an authorized service center regularly. The length between these appointments is determined by state law but typically occurs every 30, 60, or 90 days. The LifeSafer device is the smallest and easiest to use on the market.
