AMS 2000
After 20 years of experience in the BAIID industry, Guardian has
developed the most advanced design in the industry. Easy–to–understand
operating instructions, combined with a compact design, make participants
more apt to use the AMS 2000 in a timely and accurate manner.
The AMS2000 features include:
 |
Auto Calibration – Three alcohol samples are delivered
to the unit, from which the device auto calibrates, eliminating the need
for the service center to manually adjust device calibration.
|
 |
Hum Tone – Requires the participant to hum into the
device before taking the breath test. This helps thwart bogus air
samples. |
 |
Blow/Suck – Requires the participant to blow into the
device and suck before taking the breath test. This technique helps
thwart bogus air samples. |
 |
On-Board Data Logger – A computer that records every
interaction a participant has with his or her vehicle. Recorded
interactions include activity, time, date, and BrAC level. The computer
can store more than 12,000 separate events and display the content in a
summary or detailed format. |
 |
Memo Minder – A service calendar that uses audio and
visual reminders to count the days between required scheduled
appointments. If the participant misses his or her appointment, the
service calendar disables the interlock device, preventing the car from
starting. |
 |
Circumvention Alarm – If the interlock device detects a
bypass?or detects a failed rolling retest?the circumvention alarm will
trigger the vehicle's horn until the vehicle is turned off. |
 |
Rolling Retest – As a follow up to the initial breath
test, this is the device's primary defense against circumvention. The
test can be set to occur at fixed or random intervals. If a participant
fails the test, the circumvention alarm will sound. |
 |
Bypass Detection – An instrument that detects whether
the vehicle is running. If a car is running, but the participant has not
yet taken a breath test, the circumvention alarm will sound. The
interlock device then enters a lockout state for a predetermined period. |
 |
Power Interrupt – A record of when the vehicle's power
has been disconnected or interrupted. This may occur if the participant
tampers with the battery, repairs the battery, or replaces the battery.
Participants are required to provide documentation of repairs. |
 |
Violations Reset – A function that contains features
from the Data Logger and the Memo Minder. If the device detects a
violation from one of these features, it will automatically reset the
Memo Minder, requiring the participant to come in for early service. |
 |
Emergency Restart – In case of a vehicle stall, this
feature allows the vehicle an emergency restart within one minute of
shutdown. |
 |
Variable Driving Privilege (VDP) – This feature can
restrict an offender's driving abilities. It can be programmed to accept
tests only during predetermined periods of the day. |
 |
Coordinated Breath Pulse Access (CBPA) – A series of
pauses and breaths that must be completed after the initial breath test.
This is an advanced method for identifying a bogus air sample. |

A clear service reminder displays the number of days until service each
time the interlock is turned on. |
