Descriptive Annex

1 INTRODUCTION The pattern is a taximeter designated the F3 PLUS GR, designed to be installed in a road vehicle for the calculation of fares. The fares are calculated based on measurement of distance and time; the instrument operates in calculation modes S (single application of tariff) or D (double application of tariff). The instrument is powered via the vehicle battery.

The distance measuring device (transducer) is not covered by this certificate.

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 Construction

The instrument (Figure 1) comprises a PCB housed within a plastic enclosure, two LED displays, five and push buttons. Figure 2 shows the front layout for the taximeter.

The plastic enclosure consists of front and rear parts held together with screws, with a removable part on the left-hand side allowing access to the communication ports and test connector. An additional back plate is fitted at the rear of the instrument to prevent access to the screws sealing the front and rear parts. The side part and rear plate are held together via a screw, which is used to seal the instrument in the vehicle.

Figure 3 shows the location of the sealing points:

− Sealing of the instrument onto the vehicle;

− Sealing of the programming port;

− Two verification seals

The verification seals do not provide any mechanical sealing but may be used to identify periodic testing of the instrument when required by local or national regulations. 2.2 Devices

The instrument has the following devices (Figures 4 to 6)

− Display check

− Calculation modes S or D

− Fare calculation (initial fare, fare increments, extras)

− Display of rate, mode (For Hire, Hired, Stopped) and fare (actual fare and total fare with extras)

− Display of distance and time for the journey

− Loading of tariffs and software (via sealed interface)

− Real time clock

− Long-term totalisers (non-resettable)

− Display of parameters, software and tariff information (read-only)

− Test connector

− Embedded Thermal Printer

− Embedded Fiscal Memory module

− Embedded Bluetooth module

− Embedded Modem 2G-3G module

− Embedded GPS module

3/12

− Embedded SD card

− Embedded Accelerometer 3-9 Axis
