WHAT IS THE DRÄGER INTERLOCK XT?
The Dräger Interlock XT is a device that prevents a
person under the inuence of alcohol from starting
the vehicle.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The system measures the amount of alcohol in your
body before starting your vehicle. When no alcohol
is detected, you can drive, however, if alcohol is
detected, you will not be able to start your vehicle.
The system will also ask you to provide additional
breath tests while you are driving.
The Interlock records all alcohol readings, vehicle
starts, engine shut-os and violations. This data is
downloaded at each monthly service and sent to
the Road Transport Authority for review.
ALCOHOL AND YOUR BODY
It is important to know that alcohol can continue
to rise for up to 2 hours after your last drink and
it can take a further 10 hours for your body to
return to a zero reading after large volumes have
been consumed.
Your mouth holds residual alcohol for up to 15
minutes after your last drink. It is important that you
wait 15 minutes prior to testing as you may produce
a high BAC reading. Mouthwash and other alcohol
based products may also have this eect.
IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS
– DO keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
– DO use a clean, dry mouthpiece when providing

– DO contact your Service Agent with any
questions of concern.
– DO NOT eat, consume alcohol, use alcohol
based products, including mouthwash or smoke
