ALCOGRAN AM-565 Alcohol Ignition Interlock

ALCOGRAN AM-565 Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device

The AM-565 is a system that prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver’s breath alcohol content exceeds a certain threshold. This alcohol immobilizer is designed for both private and company vehicles. It ensures safety and compliance with legal requirements for controlling alcohol consumption while driving.

Key Features:

✔ Precise measurement – detects alcohol in the driver’s breath with high accuracy
✔ Automatic ignition lockout – prevents the engine from starting if alcohol is detected in the breath
✔ Operates under extreme conditions – temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
✔ Suitable for various vehicles – works with 12V and 24V electrical systems
✔ Event logging – stores information about all events (tests, start attempts, and faults)

How does it work?

1️⃣ The driver must provide a breath sample before starting the vehicle.
2️⃣ The AM-565 analyzes the sample and determines the alcohol concentration.
3️⃣ If the result is negative, the engine can be started. After a brief pause, a retest is not required.
4️⃣ If the result is positive, the ignition remains locked. The driver can retake the test after a set period of time.

📌 Additionally, the system can be configured to require random tests while driving.

Technical Specifications:

• Measurement range: up to 2.00‰, indication for alcohol levels above the upper limit
• Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C
• Power supply: 12V ~ 24V
• Current consumption: <20mA in sleep mode; <2A in operating mode
• Maximum current through the relay: 30A
• Dimensions:
  – Control module: 115 mm x 80 mm x 30 mm (190 gr.)
  – Measuring module (breathalyzer): 130 mm x 60 mm x 28 mm (170 g)

Key features:

• Digital display of alcohol readings
• Additional interface cables: for integration with external devices (GPS tracker, camera)
• Internal memory: stores data for the last 3,000 events. Alerts you before the memory is full so you can visit a service center in a timely manner

Who is the AM-565 suitable for?

✅ Passenger cars – for people who want to ensure that they or their loved ones do not drive under the influence of alcohol
✅ Company and work vehicles – for transportation companies and businesses that want to ensure a high level of control over their employees
✅ Public transportation – buses, taxis, and other vehicles where safety is of the utmost importance

Additional information:

🛠 Periodic Calibration Requirement – Follow the manufacturer’s requirements to ensure proper system operation: Calibration of the Measurement Module (breathalyzer) once a year. This must be performed at an authorized service center. Only the Measurement Module should be sent; to prevent the vehicle from being taken out of service, a spare module is installed in its place (if you do not have one, Keragon can provide it) or the system is switched to emergency mode, in which case no alcohol test will be triggered. The AM-565 is not a metrological measuring instrument and does not require additional certification from the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology.

⚠Emergency Mode  – In the event of a problem, the driver can bypass the system by switching it to emergency mode using a PIN code provided by a dispatcher or immediate supervisor. Once emergency mode is activated, the system will not require an alcohol test for several days (the duration is configurable). This allows the driver to complete the route and take the vehicle to a service center designated by the responsible authorities for inspection. At the service center, the system will be inspected and repaired. The violation data will be verified and analyzed to prevent attempts at abuse by the driver. If the driver does not take the vehicle in for inspection by the end of the set emergency mode, the system will lock the ignition until authorized specialists arrive.

✅ Easy installation – can be installed in virtually any vehicle or machine: passenger cars, minibuses, buses, trucks, forklifts, agricultural machinery, construction cranes, trains, regardless of the type of propulsion. In certain cases, such as with refrigerated trucks, the braking system can be disabled to ensure uninterrupted operation of the refrigeration unit.  Installation can be performed by a qualified technician at the vehicle’s authorized service center or at a trusted service center.
