ALCOLOCK GR1
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
ALCOLOCK GR series of alcohol interlocks have been
designed for easy and safe operation. The device is to be
used only for the purposes specied herein. To help ensure
your safety, you must follow these precautions:
• Always use a clean mouthpiece for good hygiene and
to trap any foreign matter or excess moisture from the
breath sample
• Do not store mouthpieces in a cold area before use. This
will cause condensation to form in the mouthpiece and
droplets may enter the handset during the test
• Do NOT perform a breath test while the vehicle is in
motion. Complete a successful breath test before you
resume driving
• Do not eat, drink or smoke for at least 15 minutes
before the test. This could contaminate the breath
sample. Swish and swallow fresh water to remove any
contaminants from the mouth
• Avoid exposing the handset to direct sunlight for
extended periods of time
• If liquid spills onto the handset, remove with a cloth and
allow the handset to dry thoroughly. If there is substantial
moisture damage, do not activate the handset. Contact
your local service centre
• Keep all radio frequency transmitting devices
(such as mobile phones or laptops) away from
the ALCOLOCK GR unit to minimize interference,
particularly when performing a test
NOTE: The alcohol interlock WILL NOT shut your vehicle
off during operation.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2
PRODUCT PROFILE
ALCOLOCK GR series alcohol interlocks control the
normal operation of a vehicle through connections with the
power, starting and control systems. To start the vehicle,
the driver must provide a proper sample of breath with an
alcohol concentration (BrAC) below the preset limit. During
the operation of a vehicle, the driver will need to provide
additional breath samples to ensure continued compliance
with program requirements. The ALCOLOCK GR alcohol
interlock will not cause the vehicle motor to stop.
ALCOLOCK GR units consist of a handset that is the
link to the driver and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for
connection with the vehicle.
The ALCOLOCK GR handset may have a wired or wireless
connection to the ECU, depending on the version.
ALCOLOCK GR units are used in alcohol interlock programs
under the direction of a jurisdictional authority and are fully
compliant with international regulations for alcohol interlocks
being used in compliance programs.
WARNING!
• Do not open any enclosures. Doing so will
potentially damage the components within and void
the warranty
• Do not attempt to tamper with the installation or
circumvent the alcohol interlock. This is considered
a program violation
• Do not attempt to drive after consuming alcohol.
This is an unsafe practice and is considered a
program violation
• The ALCOLOCK GR device may engage a service
lockout if:
a. The scheduled service date is past due
b. An early/immediate recall has been triggered
and the device has not been serviced prior to the
lockout date indicated on the handset

GETTING STARTED
ALCOHOL INFLUENCE ON TESTING
WARNING! Drinking alcohol and eating foods containing
alcohol may cause a failed alcohol test.
Some factors that may affect the results of a test (because
of possible residual alcohol in the mouth) are consumption
of medicines, drops, gum, smoking and using mouthwash or
mouth spray. Rinsing the mouth with water and swallowing
after consumption of these products will remove possible
alcohol contamination.
Do not eat, smoke or drink for at least 15 minutes before
taking a test. Also, before taking a test, refrain from using
windshield washer uid for at least 10 minutes or using any
aerosol air fresheners, disinfectants, cologne, or perfume in
the vehicle, as these can also contain alcohol.
NOTE: The above list of factors that may affect the
results of a breath test is not exhaustive. There are
additional items that also may affect the results. Follow
this guide carefully to avoid incorrect results and consult
the service centre.
