Reg. 89, pp. 26849–26867 (May 8, 2013). Trans 313.04(5)(b)(b) Retest feature. The device shall be programmed to have a retest feature. The retest feature shall require the driver to submit to a sample sequence no more than 5 minutes after the vehicle is made operable following a successful start sequence. The retest feature shall require additional subsequent tests at random intervals of 5 to 30 minutes until the vehicle ceases operation. Trans 313.04(5)(bm)(bm) Failed retests. The device’s retest feature shall be programmed to include all of the following features: Trans 313.04(5)(bm)1.1. ‘Activation of Alert.’ A driver’s failure to provide a breath sample that is less than the device’s alcohol setpoint shall trigger a confirmation retest sequence, as described in subd. 2. If the driver does not provide a passing breath sample in response to the confirmation retest, the device shall activate the device’s alert mode until the earlier of the time the vehicle is shut off, or the time the driver provides a passing breath sample to the device. Trans 313.04(5)(bm)2.2. ‘Confirmation retest.’ Upon activation of a confirmation retest sequence under subd. 1., a device shall wait 2 minutes and then commence a sample sequence. If no passing sample is provided as part of the sample sequence, the device shall activate its alert mode. Upon expiration of the sample sequence, the device shall resume normal retest intervals. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: If the vehicle is shut off before a passing breath sample is provided, a passing breath sample shall be required to restart the vehicle. See par. (j) 2. and 3.
Trans 313.04(5)(c)(c) Testing protocol feature. Whenever the device demands a breath sample, the device shall be programmed to allow multiple attempts, but no fewer than 3 attempts, to provide a breath sample within a 5-minute period. Trans 313.04(5)(ce)(ce) Start sequence. The device shall be programmed to allow the customer to operate the vehicle if the device records a passing breath sample during the start sequence. If the device fails to record a passing breath sample in the start sequence, then the device shall prevent the customer from operating the vehicle. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: This paragraph does not require a time period to elapse between start sequences. “Temporary lockouts” that were required under prior law are eliminated.
Trans 313.04(5)(cm)(cm) Permanent lockout feature. The device shall be programmed to enter a permanent lockout condition when service is not completed within 7 days of a service reminder. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: Entering permanent lockout mode prevents initiation of a start sequence for the vehicle. See s. Trans 313.03 (17). Trans 313.04(5)(cs)(cs) Violation reset. The device shall be programmed to have a violation reset feature that is triggered by any of the following: Trans 313.04(5)(d)(d) Recorded data. A device shall record data in a format that allows the data to be wirelessly transmitted or printed and that includes all of the following: Trans 313.04(5)(d)3.3. The result of any request for a sample made by the device including, if a breath sample was provided, the date, time and alcohol concentration, in grams per 210 liters, of each breath sample provided to the device. Trans 313.04(5)(d)8.8. All images captured by the device, including the date and time those images were captured. Trans 313.04(5)(dm)(dm) Electronic transfer of data. The device shall provide a means of electronically transferring the data collected under par. (d) to the database described in sub. (6). Data related to violations shall be transmitted using near real-time reporting of violations via electronic transmission as provided in par. (m). Usage and other data shall be reported by means of a downloaded report of all required data fields downloaded from the device at time of service for the service interval preceding the service. All data shall be provided in the format specified by the department. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: Under s. Trans 313.07 (1) (e), device approval for use in the state of Wisconsin may be revoked, suspended or denied if an entity fails to transmit data in the manner described in this paragraph. Trans 313.04(5)(e)(e) Information provided to customer. A device must provide all of the following information to a customer: Trans 313.04(5)(e)2.2. Reminder of the date for service, beginning 7 days prior to a scheduled service date as part of each start sequence. Trans 313.04(5)(e)3.3. Reminder as part of each start sequence to obtain service by the seventh day following the date a violation reset is initiated. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: For the definition of “violation reset” see s. Trans 313.03 (27). Trans 313.04 NoteNote: An adequate qualitative result might indicate whether sample was a passing breath sample (see definition in s. Trans 313.03 (16r)), a failed sample, a failure to provide a sample or an error. The result should indicate to the user why the device prevents operation of the vehicle, requires a confirmation test, enters alert mode or behaves in a manner inconsistent with behavior following a passing breath sample. Display of specific alcohol concentrations, quantitative results, is not permitted. Trans 313.04(5)(f)(f) Camera feature. A camera feature is required for all devices. It shall capture an image at the time the device user is providing a sample, or if no sample is provided, at test expiration. The image shall provide a clear and accurate image of persons seated in a front seat of the vehicle and the entire front seat including any pass-through area to rear positions of the vehicle, so that it is possible to determine whether circumvention is being attempted or utilized. Trans 313.04(5)(g)(g) Alcohol specific quantification sensor. The device shall use an alcohol-specific quantification sensor that provides an accurate and reliable measure of alcohol in the breath sample. Trans 313.04(5)(h)(h) Bypass switch. Except as provided in pars. (i) and (j), the device may not contain a bypass switch or mechanism that allows a person to bypass, circumvent or manually override the device in any manner, which would allow a person to operate the vehicle without providing a passing breath sample. Trans 313.04 NoteNote: Allowing a person to operate a vehicle using a lockout code in accordance with par. (i) or to restart a vehicle in accordance with par. (j) does not violate this requirement.
Trans 313.04(5)(i)(i) Lockout code feature. The device may be programmed to allow a person to operate the vehicle by using a lockout code provided by the manufacturer, at its discretion, with the following requirements: Trans 313.04(5)(i)1.1. A lockout code may only be used to operate the vehicle once in any 60-day service interval. Trans 313.04(5)(i)3.3. The lockout code is functional for one use only and expires no later than 24 hours after the manufacturer provides the lockout code to a person. Trans 313.04(5)(i)4.4. The lockout code shall enable the device to accept a breath sample, and if the vehicle is started, the device must operate in accordance with this section. Trans 313.04(5)(i)5.5. The device shall revert to permanent lockout mode if the lockout code expires. Trans 313.04(5)(i)6.6. The device shall revert to permanent lockout mode if the lockout code is used, the vehicle is turned off and the restart period described in s. Trans 313.03 (20) expires. Trans 313.04(5)(j)(j) Restart feature. The device shall be programmed to have a restart feature with the following functions: Trans 313.04(5)(j)1.1. If the vehicle stalls or is turned off following a successful test and before a retest is required under par. (b), the device shall permit the vehicle to restart without requiring a breath sample during the 2-minute period following the vehicle stalling or being turned off. The restart feature under this subdivision may not alter the time interval required for the next retest. Trans 313.04(5)(j)2.2. If the most recently provided breath sample was above the alcohol setpoint, then the restart feature may not function until the customer provides a passing breath sample.
