QLD Performance-Based Alcohol Interlock Program
What is the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX?
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX is a reliable and precise
alcohol measuring instrument with an integrated vehicle
immobiliser. It prevents a person who consumes alcohol
from starting the vehicle. The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX
consists of two components: handset and control box. If
required, the device can be additionally equipped with a
camera and/or a remote download module.
How does the Dräger Interlock®
7XXX work?
Before you can start the engine, the device measures
the alcohol content in your breath. When no alcohol is
detected, you can drive, however, if alcohol is detected,
you will not be able to start your vehicle. Retests are
required while driving and are carried out at random
intervals. The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX does not interfere
with a running engine. Therefore, your driving will not be
disrupted by the device.
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX can differentiate between
mouth alcohol and breath alcohol. Mouth alcohol caused
by food and beverages that contain small amounts of
alcohol can affect the test result. You cannot start the
vehicle for a pre-defined period of time if a certain breath
alcohol concentration is detected. The Dräger Interlock®
7XXX records all alcohol readings, vehicle starts, engine
shut-offs and violations. This data is downloaded at each
service and sent to the Department of Transport and Main
Roads for review.

Important to know
- Keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
- Use a clean and dry mouthpiece when providing breath
samples.
- Do not eat, consume alcohol, use alcohol-based
products, including mouthwash or smoke for 15 minutes
before using the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX.
- Alcohol can continue to rise for up to 2 hours after your
last drink and it can take further 10 hours for your body
to return to a zero reading after large volumes have been
consumed.
- Make sure ambient air does not contain alcohol or
solvent vapours, e.g. air fresheners.
- Ensure that the breath test is provided from the driver’s
seat in order for the test to be accepted.
- Avoid placing the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX on the vehicle
floor. If the device is not secured, it may interfere with the
pedals and the safe operation of the vehicle.
- You must not use the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX while
driving. If you are asked for a breath test, you have 7
minutes to pull over and present the breath test. Do not
turn the vehicle off.
- You must not tamper with, abuse, misuse and/ or neglect
the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX or the Dräger Interlock®
7XXX camera. This may result in a sanction and a longer
program period.
- It is recommended to exchange the mouthpiece regularly
and not to share the mouthpiece with another user.
- It is recommended to clean the handset each time after
driving. Click here for FAQ’s.
- Two or more participants can nominate the same vehicle
with a Dräger Interlock® 7XXX installed (Multiple Users).

How do I start the Vehicle?
1. Wait 15 minutes after eating, drinking, smoking or using
alcohol-based products. It is also recommended to rinse
the mouth with water before providing a breath test.
2. Ensure a clean mouthpiece is inserted properly into the
Dräger Interlock® 7XXX.
3. Switch the ignition on.
4. The display will show “Ready for test – Please blow”.
5. Take a deep breath and blow steadily into the
mouthpiece.
6. During the test you will hear the device click three times.
After the third click briefly suck back. The coloured
LEDs and the display will indicate that the breath test is
complete.
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX will display the following
messages if the blow pattern is correct:
– “Test passed” – A green LED confirms the result and
the vehicle can be started.
– “Test failed” – A red LED confirms the result. In this
case, the vehicle cannot be started.
What if I fail the initial test?
After a failed initial breath test due to detection of alcohol,
the vehicle will not start and a “Temporary Lockout” will
be activated.
A countdown will show on the display the amount of time
remaining before another breath test can be presented.
Once the temporary lockout period has expired, repeat
steps 3 – 6 under “How do I start the vehicle” to present
another breath test.
In case mouth alcohol is detected, the message
“Interferent detected – Repeat test” will appear.
Press the “OK” button, rinse the mouth with water and take
a new test.

How do I know if I am blowing and
sucking correctly?
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX will let you know if you are not
presenting a correct sample. If an error occurs during the
breath test, the device will alert you with audible and visual
signals. If you hear a beep during the measurement, stop
blowing and look at the display. The following guidelines will
help you to find and eliminate the problem:
– “Blow longer!” – You need to blow longer.
– “Blow stronger!” – You need to blow harder.
– “Suck after blow” – You did not suck back correctly.
Press the “OK” button to take a new test.
Breath tests while driving
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX will ask for random breath
tests, Rolling Retests (“retests”), while you are driving.
When a retest is due, the unit will beep and the blue light
will flash. The display will read “Retest required – Please
blow.”
– Pull over, out of traffic when it is safe to do so.
– Don’t panic – You have 7 minutes to provide the breath
sample.
– There is no need to turn the vehicle off.
– Take the breath test as you would to start your vehicle.
Once you see “Test passed” on the display, secure the
device and continue the trip. If you fail or do not provide
a retest within the 7-minute time frame, the vehicle’s horn
will sound and hazard lights will flash. You must pull over
out of traffic and provide a successful breath test or
turn your vehicle off to deactivate the vehicle’s horn and
hazard lights.

Violation reset
Excessive violations will cause the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX
to require a service earlier than scheduled and may result
in program extensions. To avoid Violation Resets, it is
important that you adhere to the program rules.
A “VIOLATION RESET” can be caused by:
– Failed breath tests.
– Retests that are not presented within 7 minutes.
– Power loss / battery disconnection of greater than 20
minutes.
– Tampering with the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX.
– Trying to circumvent the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX.
If you see “Device Lockout in 7 days”, you need to contact
your Service Agent to have the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX
serviced. For example, you may be due for a service in 18
days, but violations caused by continually ignoring retest
requests has brought your service date forward. Failure to
service the device within the displayed time will result in a
permanent lockout.
Service requirements
The first scheduled service will be one month after the
installation of the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX. Subsequent
servicing will be required at three monthly intervals. The
following services are included in your fees and will occur
at each service:
– Check seals for tampering.
– Check for misuse, abuse or neglect of the unit.
– Download of data for Department of Transport and
Main Roads.
– Test equipment is functioning correctly.
This will take approximately 15 minutes to complete
(20 minutes if a calibration is required).

Service requirements
Your scheduled services will be set to the day of installation,
called the anniversary date. For example, if the Dräger
Interlock® 7XXX is installed on the 23rd of January, the next
service date will be set to the 23rd of February.
At each service, your next anniversary date will be
programmed into the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX. The display
will show a reminder message 7 days before your service
is required, warning you that the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX
is due. You are given an additional 7 days grace after your
service date. If your Dräger Interlock® 7XXX is not serviced
within this time, it will enter into a permanent lockout state.
If you have your alcohol interlock serviced during the 7
days grace, your next service date will be set back to the
anniversary date. If the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX is not
serviced within this time a permanent lockout will occur.
This will require you to either request a Service Unlock
Code, or have your vehicle towed to the Service Centre.
Both will be at your expense.
Removal requirements
The Dräger Interlock® 7XXX can be removed upon approval
from the Department of Transport and Main Roads or any
time at your request.
Emergency contacts
All calls are logged, and resulting actions recorded. Please
note that emergency calls resulting from actions caused
by you acting outside the parameters of the program will
be at additional costs and payment prior to a service will
be requested. Only services relating to faulty equipment or
installation, where evidence of tampering, misuse, abuse,
neglect or vehicle accident is not apparent will be free of
charge. However, it is your responsibility to bring the vehicle
with the Dräger Interlock® 7XXX to the Service Centre.
