TARIFF & REGULATORY PARAMETERS

ATA Taximeter  –  Irish market firmware  –  Pulsar Europe  –  PRIMUS RS-01 & S-01  –  2026

NOTE

Reading only

Everything on this card is a read. Nothing here changes a fare. Under Irish law any change to a taximeter’s programming has to be verified by the Legal Metrology Service, so if a figure is wrong the answer is a phone call, not a button press.

Worth doing before verification

Ten minutes with this card before your Applus appointment tells you your fares are right, your paperwork matches the meter, and there are no surprises waiting for you. Print both sets and bring the tickets with you.
