What is the Dräger Interlock
®
7XXX?
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX is a reliable and precise
alcohol measuring instrument with an integrated vehicle
immobiliser. It prevents a person who consumes alcohol
from starting the vehicle. The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX
consists of two components: handset and control box. If
required, the device can be additionally equipped with a
camera and/or a remote download module.
How does the Dräger Interlock
®
7XXX 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® 7XXX does not interfere
with a running engine. Therefore, your driving will not be
disrupted by the device.
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX 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®
7XXX 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 and Main
Roads for review.
