Measure breath alcohol and allow vehicle engine start only when the driver’s alcohol concentration is below the legal limit.
Drager Interlock 5000
The Drager Interlock 5000 is a breath alcohol device, designed to immobilise a vehicle upon submission of a failed breath test. The alcohol concentration in the driver’s breath is measured and the engine is only released if the breath test is passed.
The Interlock 5000 is made up of two parts – the measuring device and the control unit. The unit is extremely easy to use and features a large, intuitive display. Hygienic mouthpieces can be inserted into the back of the handset.
The sensor technology specifically measures alcohol and ensures that any other exhaled substances do not distort measurement results. Any attempts to manipulate the Drager Interlock 5000 are detected and documented. It also stores data including submission of breath samples, refusal to submit breath samples, measurement of alcohol concentration and engine starts/stops. Any data can be downloaded via an IR interface and analysed.
