Alcolock WR3
Interlock Device |
Alcolock WR3 is an alcohol interlock device that is
specifically designed for DUI offender ignition interlock  programs.
It combines evidential breath alcohol measurement technology
with innovative ant circumvention features to provide the
leading choice in alcohol interlock devices.
Introduction
The Alcolock WR3 is an innovative breath alcohol testing
instrument which is installed in a vehicle in a way that
links its operation to the ignition, starter, electrical and
other on-board systems. The purpose of the Alcolock WR3 is
to measure the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of the
intended driver and to prevent the vehicle from being
started or operated if the BAC is over a preset limit.
Anti-Circumvention
The WR3 includes an advanced form of hum-tone detection as
part of the means to prevent cheating. The intended driver
must provide a moderate and continuous breath sample for a
period of 5 seconds while simultaneously engaging a humming
sound in order to satisfy the breath test requirement.
Additionally, the breath flow rate is monitored to ensure a
proper sample is being delivered before the breath alcohol
measurement is taken.
Running Retest
The Alcolock WR3 includes a provision for engaging a
retest requirement on a random time basis to ensure that the
driver has not been drinking since the vehicle was first
started. A tone will sound and “retest” will be displayed to
instruct the driver that a retest is required. If the test
is not conducted, a sanction may be engaged.
Program Features
The Alcolock WR3 is uniquely designed for DUI offender
ignition interlock programs and can be tailored to meet
specific program requirements of any jurisdiction. The
interlock device records breath test results and other data
relevant to compliance with program conditions, which is
made available for review by administering authorities via
secure on-line web application. Guardian
Alcolock V3 Ignition
Interlock |
The Alcolock V3 is an interlock specifically designed for
private or commercial users. It is already widely used  overseas in a variety of applications from standard vehicles
to commercial vehicles such as graders, transport trucks,
buses, trains and taxis.
Reliable Accuracy
The V3 is an affordable and effective ignition interlock. It
is installed directly to the vehicle’s ignition and
electrical systems to accurately measure the breath alcohol
concentration (BAC) of the intended driver. It prevents the
vehicle from being started if the BAC is over a pre-set
level, usually set below the maximum legal BAC limit to
drive. The V3 uses an electrochemical (fuel cell) sensor
which ensures longevity and accuracy and is reliable in
extreme conditions from -45°C to 85°C!
Easy to Live With
Much of the V3’s popularity comes from the design
flexibility that allows ‘custom’ settings to be pre -set
before delivery for commercial application or simple
settings for private use. Of course these features can be
changed once further experience has been gained with
operation of the V3.
Easy Operation
With two buttons and an easy to read display screen, much
like a mobile phone, the V3 is easy to operate. Simply blow
into the mouth piece and start car upon passing a BAC test!
Settings can also be customised during regular servicing and
calibration to suit the individual for easy operation.
Calibration
The ALCOLOCK V3 requires recalibration approximately every 6
months. It will even tell you when it is due for service 7
days before the service date! You also have 5 days grace
period after this date to arrange calibration. In your
initial set up, you can customise whether the V3 prevents
all use of the vehicle and locks out after this period, or a
‘transparent’ feature which allows the vehicle to work as
normal with out the Interlock. Calibration costs around $50
including GST plus postage and handling. When the V3 is due
for calibration you would simply contact us to make
arrangements.
The Bottom Line
The ALCOLOCK V3 is a reliable interlock for preventing drink
driving. It is the ideal addition to your private
orcommercial vehicle fleet in terms of compliance and risk
management. |
