The Card Interface Device (CID1B) is used when passengers board a vehicle in order to
validate a contact-less smart card. Passengers are able to use their smart card to travel
with various operators on all modes of public transport including train, light rail, bus, and
ferry services.
Contact-less smart cards are credit-card sized, battery-less, encrypted, portable memory
Contact-less smart cards are credit-card sized, battery-less, encrypted, portable memory

Maintenance Structure Overview
Maintenance activities for the CID1B are divided into two categories:
1.
First Line Maintenance
2.
Third Line Maintenance
Note:
Second Line Maintenance is not applicable to the CID1B. (Refer to 2.2.)
Factors that distinguish the two categories include:
The level of skill required.
Complexity of test equipment and tools required.
The need for workshop facilities.
The feasibility of maintenance activities being performed on-site.
2.2
First Line Maintenance
As a rule, field maintenance is performed on-site and does not require workshop facilities,
specialised test equipment or tools. Only basic technical knowledge is required, and work
is performed according to set procedures. In most cases the Transit Operators will
provide First
Line maintenance.
Typical field maintenance activities include:
Periodic and preventative maintenance, e.g. cleaning, lubricating, replacement
of consumables.
Removal and installation of equipment.
Removal and installation of sub-assemblies using standard tools and methods.
