REGON TATE OLICE MPLIED ONSENT ROGRAM ® 8000 O ’ NTOXILYZER PERATOR UIDE NTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Intoxicated drivers have been, and still are, the major cause of traffic fatalities in the State of Oregon since the introduction of the automobile. The intoxicated driver is not limited to the interstate or state highways, but can be found on every city street and county road in the state.

ERVICE PLACING AN INSTRUMENT OUT-OF-SERVICE On rare occasions, an Intoxilyzer 8000 instrument may need to be placed out-of-service by an operator. When this occurs, there are four (4) steps an operator should perform: 1. First, determine exactly what the exception message being reported by the instrument is. This information will be important when reporting the condition to the Oregon State Police regional dispatch center.
