Dräger Interlock® 7000

Reliable prevention of driving under the influence of alcohol.

An Interlock 7000 is a car breathalyzer, which can be used preventively in public transportation, freight transport and at workplace to reduce the risk of drink-driving. The Interlock 7000 is also used in many countries for legal measures, as part of the “drink-driving offender programs (DUI/DWI)”. In these countries, offenders who were caught with a blood alcohol level over a certain limit have to use an Interlock device in their cars. Reliable results, tamper-proof data recording and data management play a key role in these programs.

Quick Operational Readiness

Particular features of the Interlock 7000 are the extremely short warm-up and its quick readiness for use. At temperatures of more than 0 °C it is ready for immediate use. At temperatures below 0 °C the ignition interlock is still quickly ready for use. With an approved temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C, it ensures that the device works reliably under all kinds of ambient conditions.

Safe Data Handling

The data log of the Interlock 7000 saves all relevant events such as date, time, submission or refusal to submit an alcohol test, measured alcohol concentration, engine starts and stops and any attempts to tamper with the interlock device. The data is transferred from the control unit to the PC via an infrared interface. Downloaded data is available to authorized persons only. From creation to provision of the data special encryption methods guarantee data protection.
