Questions and answers
My meter running very slow how can i fix it
A Centrodyne S610 meter running very slow may be caused by incorrect speed signal settings or wiring issues. Try the following steps:
1. Check Speed Signal Connection: Ensure the white wire (CB1) is correctly connected to the vehicle’s speed signal output or the Centrodyne transducer.
2. Verify Internal Speed Signal Jumper: Confirm that the taximeter's internal speed signal jumper is set correctly for the vehicle's speed sensor type (electronic or transducer).
3. Inspect Wiring and Grounding: Ensure all connections, especially the black wire (CB2) to vehicle ground, are secure and properly connected.
4. Check Critical Speed Setting: If the Critical Speed value is set too low, the meter may stop accumulating charges. Adjust it as needed (range: 0-255).
5. Reset and Reprogram the Meter: If necessary, enter programming mode and verify the meter’s speed and rate settings.
If the issue persists, consult the installation manual or contact Centrodyne for further support.
