How The Determinator® Works
The device controls the operation of a vehicle as follows:
- When the key is turned a voice prompts the driver to prepare to give a breath test.
- The driver has over 60 seconds to provide a deep lung breath sample.
- The breath sample is analyzed in 8 - 10 seconds.
- Allows 6-8 second resamples as needed.
- After test completion, a voice either prompts the driver to start the car or lets him/her know it will not start (a lockout condition).
- To discourage someone else from providing the original breath sample, "random rolling retests" are given at intervals after starting.
- If a retest is failed, a voice instructs the driver to pull over and shut off the car. If this instruction is ignored, the horn sounds and the lights blink until the car is shut off.
- The system's computer records all test and pertinent driving data. This is downloadable and printable. Any attempt at tampering with the unit registers in this data log as well.
