The Tariff
How to Program the Tariff
With this procedure it’s intended to explain in detail the F2 PLUS’s Tariff Programming.
It is possible to use up to 429 parameters to program a tariff. These parameters are located into a single memory Block.
The blocks available in the taximeter are 63 and each one has its set of 429 programmable parameters. Program a tariff in
the F2 PLUS taximeter is like to fill a table made of 63 columns (63 Blocks) and 429 lines ( Parameters).
For a simple tariff is sufficient a single Block to compute the final amount.
For a complex tariff the user must program other parameters in more blocks to generate complex final amounts.
Their content replace, at the programmed event (Prog.Date, Key press, etc..) the relevant parameters of the Working Block.
Every new modified parameter value in a Block will replace the old one in the Working Block updating the tariff.
Note that only the changed parameters going to substitute the old ones, the unchanged parameters value remain active.
The taximeter’s internal software read the blocks in sequence and compute them in a so called “Working Block”: this is the
one that makes the final amount calculation.
The blocks chain starts with the Block 0 (It’s the first Block that the taximeter loads when it’s being started up) and ends
with the Block 62.
For a simple tariff, that use at least only the Block 0, the taximeter behavior is as follow:
Starts up (Block 0 loads its content of 429 parameters value in the Working Block) > Pressing OP it passes from For
Hire to Hired state ( The programmed parameters now are active to generate the tariff ) > Trip endend, stop the
taximeter
HOW TO PROGRAMM THE TARIFF
Select For Hire position
Insert the Programming Key in its slot.
Press K3 button.
Now the sign “HIRED” lights up. The big display will show in the left digits the
Block number and in the right digits the Parameter number. The small display
will show in the right digits the Parameter value.
To increase the parameter number press K2 button.
To decrease the parameter number press K1 button.
To increase the parameter value press K4 button.
To decrease the parameter value press K3 button.
Press OP button to change the current Block.
The sign “FOR HIRE” lights up.
The left digits of the main display start blinking.
Press K2 button to increase the Block number .
Press K1 button to decrease the Block number.
Press OP button once to go back in the Tariff Programming mode.
Keep pressing OP button for few seconds.
The left display will show “Stop” for few seconds after go back to For Hire
position.
