• Check that the mouthpiece insertion area of the handsetis free of debris, dirt or contaminants.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
• Maintenance of the unit is insured through calibration. Please refer to the calibration
procedures section of this guide for step by step instructions to calibrate the unit.
• V3’saremadeforelduse,makingthemsusceptibletodirtanddebris.Thehandsetshouldbe
cleaned with adamp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the unit.
GENERAL FUNCTIONAL TEST
The following are some actions to test the functionality of the interlock system.
To test that all inputs to the V3 are off, and that both pushbuttons are working: if the handset is
awake, hold both pushbuttons for 3 seconds. The handset should go to the lower power state, the
display and all the LEDs should turn off.
To test the display, backlights and left pushbutton: Wake the handset
up by pressing the left pushbutton. The display should show, “Alcolock
Disabled, OK to start engine”.
To test the ignition input: turn the ignition to the ON position, the display
should show “Start motor”. The status LED should be green, and a
series of tones should be heard.
To test the engine run input, and the green status LED: start the motor
of the vehicle, the display should show “Disabled” and the status LED
should be green
To test the right pushbutton: turn off the ignition and hold the right
pushbutton for 3 seconds. The display should show, “Alcolock

SERVICE PROCEDURES
In the event of an error code occurring, follow the series of actions in the following table to isolate
the error. Start with action 1, if the action is not the source of error, then go through the list and
carry out each subsequent action till you get to a conclusion. If a part of the interlock needs to be
changed, ensure that the correct replacement ECU is used depending on the voltage of the car
battery.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
It is recommended calibration be done indoors in a service facility, using an ACS
download station.
The calibration procedures are intended for use by trained technicians only.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
• 130PPM (0.05 %BAC) Alcohol gas standard ACS #95-000425
• Regulatorvalveassembly(6L/min.owrate)ACS#94-000225
• V3 Download station ACS #79-006111
COMPRESSED GAS SAFETY
Calibration should be performed indoors in a service facility, where the gas
standard cylinder can be properly stored.
Transportation and storage of compressed gases in vehicles is dangerous and should be avoided.
Other precautions:
• Never remove or alter canister labels.
• Remove the valve and install the protective cap on cylinders when not in use.
• Store cylinders in a cool, well ventilated area, away from sources of heat.

CYLINDER SETUP
1. Examine the canister and valve for any damage, and check the expiration date on the label.
Observe all cautions and safety warnings found on the canister.
2. Remove the protective cap and screw the regulator valve to the canister. Attach the rigid
delivery tube. Never modify the delivery tube in any way.
CAUTION! Damaged or broken valves can turn a canister into an unguided missile.
Attach the valve in a safe location.
CALIBRATING A HANDSET
1. Power the handset on by holding down either the right or left button.
2. Access the Menu by pressing and holding the left button. Scroll through the menu and select
System Maintenance. The four digit code which is provided with the V3 accesses this
menu.
3. Enter the code and move the cursor to OK?whennished.PushtherightbuttontoSelect.
This enters the Service menu.
4. Scroll through the Service menu and press select Calibration.
5. The current handset Date/Time is displayed. To proceed select OK with the right button. This
enters the Select Type menu.
NOTE! If a tachograph is installed the date/time cannot be changed.
6. The Select type menu contains the calibration options. Scroll to Dry Gas and push the right
button to Select. This enters the Select value menu.
7. The Select value menu contains the gas standard concentration options. Verify that 130PPM
is on the canister label, and use the left button to scroll to 130PPM. Push the right button to
Select. This enters the Altitude menu.
8. The Altitude menu contains the altitude correction factor. Verify the altitude value using the
altitude reference guide, which is on the last page of this guide. The left button increases in
increments of 200 meters. Press the right button to Accept.
9. A Wait message is displayed followed by a 2:00 minute warm-up. The handset is ready for
calibration when the Turn on gas message is displayed.
10.Insert the delivery tube from the regulator valve into the mouthpiece port. Keep hold of the
handset as the delivery tube is rigid.
11. Press the valve down to release the gas while keeping
holdofthehandset(seegure).Thehandsetanalyzes
the gas standard and displays a Blowing… message
followed by Analyzing message.
Continue holding the valve down until the handset clicks
and then beeps, indicating that the test is complete.
12.Thehandsetanalyzesthetest,whichis
followed by a Wait message and 0:45 second
countdown. The handset is ready for the second sample
when the Turn on Gas message is displayed.

Depending on the sensor calibration drift, up to 4 samples may be required.
• If only 2 tests are required, a Verication OK message is displayed when thecalibration
is complete.
• If 3 or 4 tests are required, a Calibration OK message is displayed when calibration is
complete.
13.Press the right button to Finish (there is also the option to retry by pressing the left button).
Calibration is complete.
The V3 handset returns to ready state and Blow for 5 seconds is displayed.
NOTE! If the calibration fails on numerous attempts, the sensor may need
replacement. Contact ACS for return instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Intheeventofacalibrationfailure,rstcheckthesecommoncausesoferrors:
• Plastic tubing has been overused, or has condensation present.
• The alcohol gas standard value is not 130PPM, or the value has been incorrectly entered in the
Select Value menu.
• The alcohol gas standard is expired.
• A connection to or from the gas valve is not secured properly (check all connections).
• The value entered in Altitude menu is incorrect.
ALTITUDE REFERENCE GUIDE
The altitude adjustment is in increments of 200 meters. Choose the closest city elevation and
round the altitude up or down to the closest value accordingly.
