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. |
