4 Tariffs and Options
This section explains some basic principles as they apply to the T-TINY
Taximeter.
4.1 Tariffs
A taximeter needs to be programmed with a tariff in order for it to charge
the correct fares and comply with the needs of your business and local
regulations.
The T-TINY is programmed with a tariff by your dealer. As well as the
charging information, the tariff also includes:
Information about calendar dates, times and days of the week for so-
called “calendar” tariffs.
The dates and times to change the clock forwards and backwards for
Summer and Winter time.
Configuration of options such as the totalling of the fare and extras in
stopped mode
Configuration of the circuits used to activate the roof sign lamp(s) on the
vehicle.
Because of this, the behaviour of an T-TINY can change greatly depending
on the tariff programmed into it. If you require any help with the operation of
your taximeter, please contact your local dealer.
4.2 Tariff Code
Tariff programming information is generated by staff at Aquila Electronics in
conjunction with local dealers. In order to keep an accurate record of the
large number of programs written, and to assist in the diagnosis of
problems, every Aquila tariff is uniquely numbered This number can be
displayed in the “Info” user menu (See section 5.3.4).
If given this number, staff at Aquila can quickly find out how your T-TINY
has been programmed and answer any queries you may have.
4.3 Receipt Programs
The T-TINY can optionally be programmed with one or more receipts for
printing on a suitable Receipt. Like the tariff program, the Receipt Program
has a unique code number which can be used to identify it to your dealer.
Printers are not supported by the T-Micro, so it will not accept receipt
programs.
