Safety Features
Safety engineering is an integral part of Scheidt & Bachmann’s designs. Maintenance technicians must perform maintenance and repair in accordance with
industry safety standards including MSHA, OSHA, and other Federal, State, and
Local codes and regulations.
Close attention to proper safety precautions is of the utmost importance. Components should be installed, maintained, and repaired only by trained, qualified
personnel using reasonable care. Improper installation, maintenance, or repair
procedures may damage the device or cause serious personal injury or death.
The following pages provide detailed information on safety precautions that
must be observed when working on AFC Systems. This information should be
carefully read and thoroughly understood before performing routine maintenance or attempting to troubleshoot or repair the device.
It is the responsibility of the maintenance agency to ensure that the safety
instructions in this manual are read, understood, and implemented by properly
trained maintenance and service technicians. All other persons who work with
the internal systems of any AFC systems should also be trained in safety.
1.4General

4.1.1Out of ServiceShown in Figure 4-6, the ‘Out of Service’ screen is displayed when the OV|41
This chapter provides information about OV|41 error and failure identification.
The first indication of a problem is usually a message displayed on the LCD
screen. Responding to an error involves identifying the nature of the error and
taking appropriate action to finish the transaction. Responding to a failure
involves identifying the nature of the failure and taking appropriate action to
restore the OV|41 to service. When service cannot be restored, the module
needs to be replaced with an operational one.
To reiterate what is said in the preceding paragraph, a maintenance technician
should troubleshoot OV|41 errors by:
Making sure the OV|41 can power on.
Making sure the correct software versions are on the OV|41.
is in ‘Out of Service’ mode. The device will not read or write to any Farecards.
When a critical alarm is detected, the OV|41 switches to Out-of-Service mode.
Possible causes include:
Micro SD-card access failure.
Card reader failure.
No currently active business configuration data or other software versions.
The solution is to remove and replace the OV|41. If the failure persists, contacting the Helpdesk is the appropriate action.
4.2Error Identification
When an error occurs, an indication of the error appears on the LCD. This is the
first place to look for messages such as Already Tapped ( Figure 4-7). Errors
interrupt one type of fare transaction.
There are three circumstances when a cardholder may invoke the screen shown
in Figure 4-10. These are:
Tapping a registered Farecard with a negative e-Purse,
Tapping an anonymous Farecard with a zero e-Purse,
Tapping an anonymous Farecard with a positive e-Purse that is less than the
When a failure occurs, an indication of the failure appears on the LCD. This is
the first place to look for messages such as Blocked Card.
4.2.1Blocked CardA failure occurs when a Farecard tap on fails. The issue may be one of the fol-
lowing:
Blocked Farecard,
A Farecard that has not been activated, or
A card read/write error.
When a cardholder taps a blocked Farecard, a blocked card, a Hotlisted Farecard, or a Hotlisted STO card on the OV|41, the screen in Figure 4-12 appears.
The drawing in Figure 4-16 illustrates how to unlock the OV|41Base Unit and
remove it for field replacement.
STEP 1: Use the key to unlock the device.
STEP 2: Push the Base Unit so fare upward, that the OV|41 can take away from the
mounting unit.
At no time should the service provider open the device to troubleshoot,
repair, or replace OV|41 components in the field.

Replacement devices will be pre-initialized. The system provider is not responsible for either initialization or creation of system initialization modules.
NOTE:The back-up module holds the last shift data and the device ID only.
No configuration is needed for creation of the device back-up module. Use an
empty micro SD card, insert in the slot, power on the device. The device will recognize the empty micro SD card and will initialize it automatically. If the device
detects a non-empty micro SD card, the device will reject the micro SD card and
remain out of service. The device initialization through the back-up module will
be completed with a synchronization through IVN. Spare back-up modules
(micro SD cards) will be provided with each spare device. The service provider
is responsible for providing additional spare back-up modules
If the device is faulty, transfer the faulty device’s back-up module to the new
replacement device. There will be no loss of device data. Avoid using an empty
back-up card. Only use an empty card during a device swap if the original back
up module is lost, defective, or the entire device/back-up combination is not
available. Maintenance staff should be careful not to damage or lose back-up
modules when swapping faulty devices, because all backed up data will be lost.
Users may determine if a device back-up module is faulty by checking the Backend system.

ID setting (this number will be the same as the one on the original backup
module, and can also be seen under Extended Parameters in Device
Maintenance). The OV|41 will configure itself and use the SD card as the backup
module when it is powered on.
IVN sync is at risk of being permanently lost in the case of the dual failures of
both the OV|41 and Backup module. If the main logic board of the OV|41 is
intact, or if the SD card can still be read, then data recovery at the Central Repair
Depot may be possible.
Please note: The format for the ID number in the Backupmodule.INI file is as follows:
AABBBBBBCC, where AA is the provider number (12 for WMATA), BBBBBB is
the 6 digit device ID (such as 020001), and CC is the position in the bus of the
OV|41 (02, 03, or 04). Thus, an example number would be 1202000103. This
information is also available by opening the INI file in notepad, and is easily set.

As a troubleshooting step, a maintenance technician may verify the device software versions with the expected version. If the versions are different, the technician should request that the Backend system Operator confirm that the new
software versions are linked to the device. If so, attempt the device software
download through the Backend system maintenance of jobs.
There are no consumables for this device. The only tool is a unique key used to
open and close the device.
The following general preventive maintenance procedures are for the overall
maintenance and cleaning of the OV|41. This includes testing and validating the
equipment to ensure proper operation. During this Preventive Maintenance process, notify the Network Control Administrator that alarms may be triggered.
Unless otherwise specified, the power must be turned “Off” prior to
performing maintenance procedures.
The following table is a single source that summarizes all of the preventative
maintenance procedures mentioned in this chapter. Use this table to determine
what procedures that need to be accomplished, and when they should be
scheduled.
When the recommended preventive maintenance intervals have both a
time period and a receipt usage maximum, then preventive maintenance
must take place when either the time or the usage maximum is reached.
These are maximum maintenance intervals, which may have to be
reduced, and they assume average usage in a moderate environment. If
certain devices are heavily used or exposed to atypical environmental
conditions, such as extreme temperature fluctuations or nearby construction work, then preventive maintenance must be undertaken more frequently in order to reduce the amount and frequency of field
maintenance. Operation and maintenance histories should be consulted
and preventive maintenance procedures undertaken for those devices
and locations where experience shows more frequent preventive maintenance will reduce field maintenance.
6.1OverviewThe OV|41 installation instructions described in the this chapter explain how to
install the devices, but do not prepare the devices for operation. Once installation is complete, the installer should follow the OV|41 Initialization instructions.
The following information and instructions are provided for the installer of a

and
Environmental
Considerations
During transportation and when OV|41 equipment is installed but not operational, the environmental and storage conditions of Table 6-10 must be met. The
requirements for OV|41 equipment mounting must also be met. Observing these
requirements is the responsibility of the Transit Authority, its architect, and
installers. Minimum clearances, minimum distances from obstructions, placement in a convenient location, and the comfort of the operator are all considerations that should be foremost in the minds of those planning the installation.
The OV|41 should be operated only when “office environmental conditions” exist
in the workplace.
Non-operational environmental and storage conditions must be observed!
Non-operational environmental and storage conditions apply when the
OV|41 is installed but not operational. During operation “Office
Environmental Conditions” must be provided.
The following materials, standard tools, and preconditions are required for
OV|41 installation.
