The S700 taximeter should be installed using the S700 Installation Drawing (below) as a guideline (see Legal Notice and
Disclaimer below). After installation of the S700 has been completed, meter calibration and rate programming need to be
performed. Typically, the rates are pre-programmed at the factory prior to shipping. All meters when first installed should be
calibrated over a measured mile.
NOTE: All S700 taximeters are equipped with Electronic Sealing of the Installation (ESI).
ESI requires the meter to be electronically matched to the vehicle bracket. This feature
prevents the meter from going HIRED when the meter and bracket are not matched. A
blinking HIRED legend indicates that the meter and bracket are not matched.
** Once your meter has been wired into the vehicle, perform the following steps, in order, to get up and running fast.
Step 1: Entering Program Mode
1. If not already done, remove the seal plate from the front right side of the meter by unscrewing the seal screw completely.
Put the plate and screw somewhere safe so as not to lose them.
2. Using a pen or small screwdriver, move SW7 (Red programming slide switch) to the left position. Either a 0 or a 6 will be
blinking in the RATE window (Small right-most display on the meter). If a 0 is blinking, proceed to Step 3. If a 6 is
blinking, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Entering The Passowrd
1. If a 6 is blinking in the RATE window, then your meter programming is protected by a password. If you purchased your
meter directly from Centrodyne your password should be printed on your invoice. If you purchased from an authorized
dealer you will have to contact them for the password.
2. Press SW6 and 000000 is displayed in the FARE window.
3. Press SW6 again and the right-most 0 will begin to blink.
4. Press SW4 repeatedly to change the blinking digit to the value you want.
5. Once you are satisfied with the value of the blinking digit, use SW2 to select the next digit to the left for editing.
6. Repeat 4. and 5. above until the correct password is displayed in the FARE window. Press SW6 to enter the password.
If you have entered the correct password, the meter will display a blinking 0 in the RATE window. This indicates that the
meter is now unlocked for programming. Go to Step 3.
