3. OPERATING PROCEDURES
This chapter provides screen examples and descriptions for operating a validator.
3.1 CONTACTLESS MEDIA
Travelers boarding a vehicle or subway pay their fare by presenting contactless media to the validator. The
Traveler can either tap or position the media close to the area below the display for processing. Figure 3-1
illustrates a Traveler presenting media to a validator on a bus, using a wearable/mobile device and using a
smart card.
Figure 3-1. Using a Wearable Device and Smart Card Examples
Depending on the media type presented, the validator begins reading when the contactless media is
approximately 1.9 inches from the display. When the media has been read successfully, the display provides
a visual indication to the Traveler. An example is shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Valid Transaction Example
The result of the transaction displays for 3 seconds. While the results screen displays, the validator is ready to
accept the next tap and does not have to wait for the Idle Screen to display. If there is another tap within the
3 seconds, the screen blanks momentarily to indicate the change.
