COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Recommendations for the Electrical Installation

1. Disconnect the positive terminal on the battery until the whole electrical installation is completed.
2. Any manipulation of the taximeter or external lights should be done while the taximeter is disconnected from the power supply.
3. Always connect the positive and negative cables directly to the battery to avoid false contacts and obtain a more filtered power supply.
4. Connect the cables to the battery using a terminal, never by winding the wires onto the contact. – If the cables cross a plate to reach the taximeter, they should go through a protective rubber casing.
5. Always connect the cables to the battery by means of a terminal, never by winding the wires onto the contact.
6. If the cables cross a plate to reach the taximeter, they should go through a protective rubber casing.
7. If the cables are too long, they should be cut to the required length and not rolled up under any circumstances.
8. If the vehicle has a radio transmitter, separate its installation from that of the taximeter as far as this is possible.
9. If it is possible no element that is connected to the taximeter should be fixed to the same support as the aerial of the radio.
10. Close the connectors cover before setting the taximeter to the bracket
11. To set up the device and the charge of the tariff, the tariff screw has to be loosened. It is enough and advisable not to take out totally the screw

Note: Please refer to the complete installation manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.

SEALING

• Seal Nº 1: Seals the taximeter box, preventing access to the electronic board.
• Seal Nº 2: Seals the connectors cover, so it seals the electrical installation and the tariff connector.

To load the tariff and modify its parameters, the tariff cover must be loosened. In this way, the pushbuttons located in the hole of the seal will not be pressed.
To finish the sealing, the tab of the tariff cover must be inserted inside the equipment (below the rib marked in the image) in this way the connector is hidden and the pushbuttons pressed.

The taximeter is prepared to be sealed with the plastic seal that has been supplied to you. In some localities, a cable seal is necessary: If this type of seal is required, a square and a screw with a drilled head are included in the equipment kit.

IMPULSE GENERATOR

INTRODUCTION

• For the vehicles with mechanical speedometer, you have to use a pulse generator that is managed by the taximeter.
• The pulse generator is inserted in the cable of the speedometer and converts the mechanical movement of this cable in an electrical signal, which is amplified and filtered by the taximeter.

INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLY OF THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE AND PULSE GENERATOR

First of all, part of the protecting cover of this cable must be removed and the cable must be cut (item 1)

A fixing ring (item 2) must be put in each of the two edges of the cable. The square terminals (item3) are placed on the cable and are fixed by pressing on the zone indicated with (4). This is done in position “A” or “B” of the pliers depending on the diameter of the square terminal.
Afterwards put the cover ends (item 5) and press them on the part indicated in item 6 in the position “C” of the pliers.

Finally, all pieces are assembled by screwing together the two fixing rings taking into account that the separating space indicated by (8) must be sufficient.

CABLE CONNECTION, COVER CLOSING AND PULSE GENERATOR  SUPPORT

To connect the pulse generator cable, it is necessary to open the pulse generator cover (item 1) after taking the closing screw out and moving the cover in the right direction indicated by the arrow. Connect the cable as indicated on item 2 taking into account the polarity of the connector.

Finally put the pulse generator cover back, fix it or seal it, if it is necessary (item 3) and place the pulse generator in the corresponding holder.

SEALING

The pulse generator installation can also be sealed, as shown in the image.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The main technical characteristics of the pulse generator are:

• Sensor type: Hall effect cell
• Number of pulses / revolution: 4 with double impulses train
• Feeding voltage: 4 to 18 V
• Consumption at 5 V: 10 mA

VEHICLES WITH ELECTRONIC IMPULSE SIGNAL

• The distance signal supplied by the car can be connected in two possible ways:
• By connecting this signal to the Red/White wire on the Power Supply cable.
• By using the dedicated impulse generator connector, with a shielded cable, or even mechanical shield, according to local regulations.
• The adaptation of the signals of the different vehicles is done by an internal electronic circuit with the following characteristics:
  • Hysteresis of the input is configurable
  • It adapts to different levels
  • Optional Pull–up
  • Optional Pull–down
  • Constant K is adjustable between 500 and 80000 km-1.
• All these adjustments are done from the tariff changer. It is necessary to unseal the device.

ERROR MESSAGES

• The possible error messages that may appear on the display are listed below.
• E-2 Roof lights failure: The roof lights are not correctly connected or some of its bulb lights doesn’t work. This error is shown if it is enabled in the tariff.
• E-5 The taximeter is out of the configured revision period: This message is shown when the taximeter is out of the configured revision period. It is resolved by setting a new stop date or disabling it.
• E-6 Excess speeding. This error is shown if it is enabled in the tariff.
• E-7 Working time max exceeded: This error is shown when the hours of the shift have finished. The error automatically disappears when you restart the day.
• E-8 Error in the tariff parameters: The taximeter has not the tariff loaded, or the tariff loaded is wrong. The error is solved by charging tariff.
• E-10 Printer failure: The printer is not working, is incorrectly connected or has no paper. This error is shown if it is enabled in the tariff.
• E-11 Serial number error: This error is displayed if the serial numbers are not linked. The error is solved by charging tariff.
• E-12 RAM memory loss: This error is displayed if the device has a depleted battery or there is a malfunction. The error is solved by replacing the internal battery of the equipment.
• E-Z Anti Zapper error: A distance pulse error detected. This error is shown if it is enabled in the tariff. The error is solved by charging tariff.
• E-NS Serial Number Pairing Error: This error is displayed when a TX80 is connected to a device to which it is not paired. This pairing is done when charging tariff.
