Calibration and Service
The
DS
®
-25 requires periodic calibration and servicing. The required dates for these procedures are
controlled in software. When the calibration/service procedures are required, a calibration/service
warning will be displayed on the handset screen at start-up indicating when the calibration/service
period is going to expire (locally regulated). In some localities an extra period of time (Grace Period)
after the due date may be available to you during which the unit may be calibrated/serviced. In this case,
a Permanent Lockout countdown will start once the calibration/service date has been passed. This will be
shown during the start-up sequence of the handset and will require that you acknowledge the message
by pressing the indicated arrow key before continuing.
If calibration or servicing has not been carried out before the end of the Grace Period then the
DS
®
-25 will
permanently prevent the vehicle from being started until it has been calibrated or serviced.
See the Local Settings sheet provided with this unit for details.
Calibration and Service may only be carried out by Lion approved personnel. In the unlikely event of
product failure, any repair has to be made by an approved Lion Service Centre using Lion approved
parts. Failure to observe this condition will invalidate the product warranties. Calibration and Service is
very important to the prolonged use of the
DS
®
-25 and must be carried out in accordance with the Lion
Service & Calibration Manual in order to ensure correct operation of the unit.
Vehicle Battery
The
DS
®
-
25 is designed to work with an input voltage of 9V to 32V. It is important to recognise that
under extremely cold conditions your vehicle's battery may not be able to provide the required current
to crank the engine and therefore would create a voltage drop of <9V. Please ensure that you follow your
vehicle manufacturer's instructions for battery care.
You should also be aware that the
DS
®
-
25 itself constantly draws a very small amount of power from the
vehicle battery (<1.0 mA). The battery in a small family car would power the
DS
®
-
25 for many months
without recharging. However if your vehicle is to be taken off the road for any extended period of time
please consult your local Programme Administrator or Lion Distributor for advice.
Many Interlock programmes require that vehicle battery disconnection is logged as an event in the
memory of the interlock. Please review your programme documentation for information regarding
battery disconnection and vehicle servicing.
Vehicle servicing
When the vehicle (into which the
DS
®
-
25 is installed) is taken to a garage for repair or servicing then the
technicians working on the vehicle will need to be aware of the presence of the BAIID. Your Programme
Administrator or Lion approved installer will be able to provide you with information to give to the
garage which is relevant to the specific configuration of the unit and local programme regulations.
Modifications
Do not attempt, under any circumstances, to modify either the
DS
®
-
25 system or its associated wiring.
Failure to observe this advice may result in damage to the
DS
®
-
25 or to the vehicle on which it is
installed. Such action may also contravene the conditions under which you are legally or contractually
allowed to drive the vehicle. System design and installation is such that attempts to tamper with the
components will be visibly evident or electronically recorded or both.
