PRODUCT PROFILE

ALCOLOCK GR series alcohol interlocks control the 

normal operation of a vehicle through connections with the 

power, starting and control systems. To start the vehicle, 

the driver must provide a proper sample of breath with an 

alcohol concentration (BrAC) below the preset limit. During 

the operation of a vehicle, the driver will need to provide 

additional breath samples to ensure continued compliance 

with program requirements. The ALCOLOCK GR alcohol 

interlock will not cause the vehicle motor to stop.
ALCOLOCK GR units consist of a handset that is the 

link to the driver and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for 

connection with the vehicle.
The ALCOLOCK GR handset may have a wired or wireless 

connection to the ECU, depending on the version.
ALCOLOCK GR units are used in alcohol interlock programs 

under the direction of a jurisdictional authority and are fully 

compliant with international regulations for alcohol interlocks 

being used in compliance programs.

WARNING!

• 

Do not open any enclosures. Doing so will 

potentially damage the components within and void 

the warranty

• 

Do not attempt to tamper with the installation or 

circumvent the alcohol interlock. This is considered 

a program violation

• 

Do not attempt to drive after consuming alcohol. 

This is an unsafe practice and is considered a 

program violation

• 

The ALCOLOCK GR device may engage a service 

lockout if: 

a. The scheduled service date is past due 
b. An early/immediate recall has been triggered 

and the device has not been serviced prior to the 

lockout date indicated on the handset
