1. INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation and parameterization of the taximeter
TAXITRONIC TX80 SKYGLASS and URBA.
2. SAM INSTALLATION
To introduce SAM card the device must be opened, then introduce SAM card in the
Skyglass groove as there is shown on the plane.
To configure the SAM card, the toolkit manual (SIM/SAM configuration section) indications
must be followed. This process must be done after the installation has been completed in
the vehicle.
3. MOUNTING
3.2. MOUNTING AND LOCATION OF TX80
The device will arrive sealed. It is necessary to open it to proceed to the connection All
TC60 connectors are inside the unit, covered by a sealable cover.
The tools necessary for the installation are:
- Screwdriver with head format Z1
Al other devices are interconnected with TX80. So, it can’t be sealed until the whole
installation process is finished.
TX80 must be installed so that passengers can’t see or access it. Seals and serial
numbers must be easily visible and accessible upon verification at a verification office.

Inst TX80_EN.doc 4
For this reason, it is necessary to take care of the orientation, with the stickers looking to
the outside.
Standard positions are inside the glovebox or under the vehicle board. Some vehicle
brands have standardized the TX80 position.
It is necessary that the identification sticker and the seals are easy to inspect. Cables
can’t cover neither the identification sticker nor the seals.
3.2. MOUNTING AND LOCATION OF SKYGLASS
SKYGLASS must be tied to the interior rear-view mirror of the vehicle by two Velcro strips.
The connection of the device is done through their cable into the TX80 internal connector.
3.2. MOUNTING AND LOCATION OF URBA
URBA must be fixed to the dashboard by means of an adhesive support. If the surface is
rough, adhesion will not be possible. The base of the support can also be fixed on the
dashboard with screws. The connection of the device is done through their cable into the
TX80 internal connector.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
-Disconnect the positive terminal on the battery until the whole electrical installation
is completed.
-Any manipulation of the taximeter or of the external lights must be done while the
taximeter is disconnected from the power supply
-Always take the positive and negative directly from the battery to avoid false
contacts and to obtain a more filtered power supply.
-Always connect the cables to the battery by means of 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.
-If the cables are too long, they should be cut to the required length and not rolled
up under any circumstances.
-If the vehicle has a radio transmitter, separate its installation from that of the
taximeter as far as this is possible.
-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.
-If there is enough length on the connection cable between the TX80 and the
SKYGLASS, the excess should be collected by making an eight and tie that with a
flange, never making a spiral.
-If the URBA installation is made using an adhesive, the dashboard needs to be
clean and dry. Clean it with a mix of isopropylic alcohol and water.
5. SEALING
5.1. TX80 SEALING
Seal Nº1 and 2: Seals the taximeter box, so it seals the electrical installation.
Seal Nº3: Is the manufacturer sealing, preventing access to the electronic board.

INSTALLATION MANUAL TX80 SKYGLASS INTERFACOM, S.A.U.
Inst TX80_EN.doc 14
5.2. SKYGLASS SEALING
Seal Nº1: Seals the taximeter box, preventing access to the electronic board.
Seal Nº2: seals the cover of the tariff charger connector.
The taximeter kit is normally ready for sealing with a sticker seal. In some regions it is
necessary to have a cable seal. If you need this kind of seal, the taximeter kit should
include an antiturn angle and screws with a hole for the cables.
5.3. URBA SEALING
Seal Nº1: Seals the taximeter box, preventing access to the electronic board.
Seal Nº2: seals the cover of the tariff charger connector.
The taximeter kit is normally ready for sealing with a sticker seal. In some regions it is
necessary to have a cable seal. If you need this kind of seal, the taximeter kit should
include an antiturn angle and screws with a hole for the cables.

7. IMPULSE GENERATOR
7.1. 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.
7.2. INSTALLATION
7.2.1. 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.

Inst TX80_EN.doc 17
Finally, all pieces are assembled by screwing together the two fixing rings considering that
the separating space indicated by (8) must be sufficient.

7.2.2. 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, considering 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.

INSTALLATION MANUAL TX80 SKYGLASS INTERFACOM, S.A.U.
Inst TX80_EN.doc 19
7.3. SEALING (Drawing 11)
The pulse generator installation can also be sealed, as shown in the image.
7.4. 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
8. 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 Green/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.

9. 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-10Printer 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-11Serial number error: This error is displayed if the serial numbers are not
linked. The error is solved by charging tariff.
-E-12RAM 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.
