What Should I be aware of BEFORE installing the IID?
My Warnings/Cautions:
If the car that is getting the install has issues (mechanical and/or electrical) with the following it "can" affect the function of the device:
low battery
alternator voltage
defective horn
untimed engine
frequent stalling
Check the car out throughly before it gets this device installed. People that do not (screen and fix) or place it upon a junker are not usually happy because the device will malfunction. This can then provide the monitor with false readings of intoxication.
2. Do not drink the night before you drive, or else the device may be triggered from alcohol still in your system (body).
WARNING: A BAC of .05 is an automatic Serious Violation/Failure that will require a Court Appearance.
3. Do not use cologne, perfume, mouth wash, toothpaste, mints while in the car or with anything that could trigger the device
How is the device set up and used?
The unit is calibrated for up to .25 BAC before it triggers but that said I would not rely upon that as a number because your body naturally produces some alcohol.
-the unit will demand a start up test
-then an initial rolling test (within a random interval ranging from 5 - 15 minutes)
-subsequent rolling tests, not to exceed 30 minutes
They will (the installer) give you more information, these are merely some highlights.
What if I am in found in Violation?
A violation of a CD will result in your being re-sentenced by the Court. The matter can be re-opened, you can receive jail time, you can receive three years of probation, you can receive a longer term for the IID to be in place.
