The Tariff
General Description
The taximeter calculates the tariff thanks to the interaction of 429 programmable parameters.
They are arranged into blocks. The F2 Plus have 63 parameters blocks that can be programmed to generate even the most
complex tariff. Two blocks are very particular: Block 0 and the Working Block.
Example
Here follows an example of an easy tariff that uses two Blocks to calculate two different tariff amounts.
In the subscribed example there are two tariffs that differ for the initial drop value (Parameter n. 11).
The Block 1 has been programmed with an Initial Drop Value of 1000, the Block 2 with a value of 2000.
To pass from Block 1 to Block 2 must be pressed K1 button. To do it program the Parameter n. 13 of the Block n. 1 with a
value of 2 (setting value of 2 means > go to Block 2 ).
To go back to Block 1, set in Parameter n. 13 of Block 2 the value of 1.
With this procedure it is possible to move from Block 1 to Block 2 and change the Initial value by depressing K1 button .
- Power on the taximeter. By default all the parameters programmed in Block 0 get loaded in the Working Block.
- Press OP button to pass in Hired position. Now Block 1 gets loaded in the Working Block updating the changed parameters
values (Parameter 11 = 0 > 11).
Ps. The parameter 15 define the start fare block. This is the block loaded when OP button is depressed to pass from For Hire
to Hired position.
The Block 0 is the StartUp block that loads per default all the 429 parameters
in the Working Block when the taximeter starts up. In a simple tariff
calculation is sufficient to use only the Block 0 to calculate the amount.
The “Working Block” (not visible by the user) is the operative block
that makes the final tariff calculation.
In a simple tariff, it is getting charged by Block 0 with his 429 default
programmed parameters. It calculates the final amount.
To calculate a more complex tariff it is necessary to use, in
addition to Block 0 , other programmed blocks of
parameters.
Their content replace, at the programmed event
(Prog.Date, Key press OP, K1, K2 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.
