A. CIDS Introduction
The Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS) (ATA 23-73) is the electronic
cabin management system, which provides most of the required cabin related
functions for the cockpit, cabin crew, passengers and maintenance teams.
The CIDS is the cabin network used to accomplish the functional control, operation,
data transmission, testing and monitoring of various cabin systems.
The components related to each one of the above functions are described in chapter 3.
The system functions are controlled by a central control unit called the Director (DIR).
For redundancy purpose there are two directors, one active and one in hot stand-by mode.

I. Introduction
All CIDS related cabin systems are connected via data-busses to a master unit called
CIDS director.
The CIDS system has two redundant directors:
• one director (usually DIR 1) is in active mode
• the other (usually DIR 2) is in hot-standby mode.
The hot-standby director has disabled outputs versus the active director.
The functions of the Director are provided by several H/W modules and circuits:

A switchover procedure is provided in case of any Director internal failure. The CIDS
is designed so that if the active Director (usually DIR 1) is faulty then the second Director
(usually DIR 2) becomes automatically the active Director.
To ensure this switchover mechanism, CIDS DIR 1 and DIR 2 are inter-connected between
each other with:
• 4 Discrete links: 2 to exchange the active/passive status of each Directors, the 2 others
to exchange the fault status of each Directors.
• 1 ARINC 429 link: to exchange BITE results to be used by the newly active Director after
the switchover.

Notes:
• “active” status has to be opposed to “passive”, not to “faulty”. In most cases,
DIR 2 is “passive” but not “faulty”.
• If faulty, a Director will become “passive”.
• If DIR 1 and DIR 2 are both faulty, then DIR 1 remains the “active” Director.

How to read:
Notes:
• When replacing a DIR unit, ensure to achieve the OBRM Download procedure
(Ref. AMM TASK 23-73-00-869-001). In fact, from repair/shop:
- DIR Z014H000031A/ Z014H000131A is preloaded with OBRM Z064H000031A
- DIR Z014H000231B with OBRM Z064H000031A
- DIR Z014H000333B with OBRM Z064H000033A.
• For each Director generation, prefer loading the latest available OBRM:
- DIR Z014H000031A/ Z014H000131A: OBRM Z064H000031C/D,
- DIR Z014H000231B: Z064H000034C,
- DIR Z014H000333B: Z064H000034C.
• DIR Z014H000231B can replace DIR Z014H000333B if:
- Restriction in SPI robustness are acceptable, refer to applicable limitations
listed in ISI 23.73.00027.
- Restrictions in the new functionalities introduced with OBRM Z064H000034C.
Mixability:
Directors P/N:
• Z014H000031A & Z014H000131A are mixable
• Z014H000031A/ Z014H000131A & Z014H000231B are not mixable
• Z014H000231B & Z014H000333B are mixable if software Z064H000034C installed.
Directors obsolescence:
• DIR -x31A & -231B are obsolete. Refer to TFU 23.73.00.108 for more details
• Thanks to OBRM -34C, DIR -231B can be replaced by DIR -333B
• For DIR -x31A, CAM must be retrofitted thanks to SB 23-1612 so as to update A/C
to DIR -333B & OBRM -34C. CAM ordering is recommended to be anticipated.

VI. Cargo
The cargo smoke detectors are connected via 2 CAN buses (A & B) to both CIDS-SDF
channels. There are two smoke detectors per cavity.
The cargo compartment fire extinguishing system is supplied by one bottle (2 for ETOPS
option). The percussion of the bottle is controlled from the cockpit (see next page
the location of the button).
It is a single-shot fire-extinguishing system, and includes:
• A bottle with the extinguishing agent
• One squib per bottle to trigger the extinguishing agent release
• The pipes from the bottle to the compartments
• One or Two pushbutton switches 3WX (and 4WX) to activate the system
• One or Two SMOKE/DISCH indication lights 12WH (and 11WH).
• The CIDS-SDF unit to monitor the pressure of the bottles & the squibs.
The Smoke Detection Function continuously monitors the bottle pressure condition, the two
cartridges and the wiring. In case low pressure detected, the discrete LOW PRESS FIRE
EXTINGUISHING BTL 1/2 output will be set.
Notes:
• The fire extinction is triggered neither
automatically nor by the SDF.
• It is recommended to clean the S/D
following fire extinguisher release
(as advised in AMM task for bottle
replacement).

Each DEU owns a unique identifier on its top/middle line. It is used by the CIDS to address
individually each DEU.
Those individual addresses are set by the coding switches of the connexion box:
HIGH LOW
Coding Switch
The last connexion-box connected to a middle or top line is a dedicated connexion box
terminating the line. It is called Termination box. If fitted before the end of the line, all DEU
behind it will be lost by the CIDS.

Termination box P/N: Z233H0010110
Reference doc: ISI article 23.73.00020
Note:
During Troubleshooting:
• Prevent swapping DEU with a connexion box and a termination box, or ensure swapping
as well connexion/termination boxes.
• If swapping DEU with connexion boxes, ensure to adapt the connexion box address
settings to the new DEU location.
• On the power lines are fuses and LEDs to indicate the power availability.

Reference documents:
•H OLMCO VSIL Ho-P6091-ROP-0000-01A
•C COM chapters 03-040 PA System
To prevent reliability impacts due to misuse, Cabin and Maintenance Crews must take care
of the following operational recommendations while using the handsets:
•A void overstretch on handset coil cord. In particular, stay close to the attendant
loudspeaker near to the bracket of the used handset. This will help improving the echo
cancellation mechanism.
•A lways hold the handset in hand, close to both ear and mouth. Indeed, in addition
to preserve handset coil cord and housing, this will allow a better reception of the voice
signal by the directional microphone inside the handset (for surrounding noise cancellation
purpose), and will result in an easier and more intelligible PA.
•S lide the handset in its bracket soft and smooth, without applying too much pressure.
•A void pinching the coil cord while stowing the attendant seats.
Note:
As described in MEL - Handset section, the MEL can be applied to allow dispatch in case
of inoperative Handset.

N. Cabin Ready
Reference doc: ISI article 23.73.00023
The cabin crew sets the cabin ready signal when all cabin systems are supposed to be
in the correct condition for take off or landing. If all conditions are met, the cabin ready
message is displayed at the cockpit ECAM panel. Several sets of conditions can be selected.
They are defined in the CAM.
The status is indicated on:
• the ECAM upper display unit, on the take-off check-list (on 2min. after both engines running)
or on the landing check-list (on below 2000ft and landing gear extended),
•o n the CABIN STATUS page on the FAP the cabin ready button is illuminated
O. Sterile Cockpit
The sterile cockpit command is used by the flight crew if they do not want to be disturbed.
The sterile cockpit command is activated/deactivated with the cockpit switch. The cockpit
switch sets a ground signal to the director. Via DEU type B the director switches
on the respective ACP light segment and the related message is shown on the AIP.
The DMCUs monitor and control the drainmast heaters. There is a separate DMCU for every
heater.
The drainmast system status is transmitted from the DMCU via DEU type B to the director.
In case of a failure, the director sends the signal to the FAP and to the Centralized Fault
Display System (CFDS). On the FAP the CIDS Info light comes on to indicate that there is new
failure message. Via the CFDS the failure message is shown on the MCDU.
The CFDS transmits respective signals via director and DEU type B to the DMCU, if the BITE
test “System Test” is initiated via the MCDU:
The DMCU does the test. When the test is finished the results are transmitted via DEU type B
to the director, which sends the results to the CFDS. The results are indicated on the MCDU.

A. Introduction
The CIDS has an extensive self-monitoring capability. When electrical power (both Normal
and Essential power) is connected to the CIDS, a power-up test of the system is started.
The result is shown on the power-up page of the FAP.
Comprehensive BITE circuits are present in:
DIRs, DEUs, PISAs, FAP, AAPs and AIPs.
This allows the CIDS to detect faults in the connected systems and in the CIDS units.
These failures are written into the BITE memory of the directors and are sent
to the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) in normal and interactive mode.
The display units of the CFDS are called Multipurpose Control and Display Units
(MCDU)s. There are three MCDUs in the cockpit. The indication of the failures depends
on their importance (classes).
The CIDS also memorizes failures which are reported from the connected systems and sends
the failure messages to the CFDS.
Parts of the failure messages (ATA references, FINs and locations) are defined in the Cabin
Assignment Module (CAM).
The failure handling/memorization is done in relation to the flight phases. The commands
are sent from the CFDS to the CIDS. The failures are classified as class 1, 2 or 3 and identified
as internal or external failures.

_
A. Introduction
Normal Mode:
In the normal mode only failures (class 1, 2 and 3) which are detected during the current/last
flight are sent continuously to the CFDS. It is started when the system is supplied with power.
If a failure is detected during a flight, the related failure message is stored in the BITE memory
and transmitted continuously to the CFDS until the start of the next flight. A disappearance
of the failure has no effect, the failure is still in the BITE memory.
Interactive Mode:
The interactive mode provides the capability of a dialogue between the CIDS and the CFDS.
This is only possible when the A/C is in ground configuration.
On request from the MCDU, the CIDS sends menu pages related to the MCDU keys.
Each A/C has a printer. Printouts from the CIDS related menus are possible on the ground.
You can make a data print from the MCDU. For additional information about:
MCDU (AMM Ref. 45-11-00)
Printer (AMM Ref. 45-40-00)
System Report/Test:
The system report/test is a part of the main maintenance menu and gives a dialogue between
the MCDU and each system connected to the CFDS. This is only possible when the A/C
is in ground configuration.

MAINTENANCE STATUS
Notes:
• Maintenance Status are only displayed in flight phases 1 and 10 (i.e. engine not running).
It means that when one system sends a maintenance status to be displayed, the FWC
will delay it until flight phase 10 pending the system keeps on sending the fault.
But the alert will be reported in the PFR at the time when the maintenance status has
been computed for Maintenance action.
• As Maintenance Status, the “SMOKE”, “CIDS1” and “CIDS2” messages do not prevent
dispatch, as related MMEL items must be evaluated.
• FCOM Supplementary Procedure ID PRO-SUP-24-x provide flight crew reset procedures
for CIDS & SDF as a first recovery mean to clear spurious messages.

As Maintenance Status, the “SMOKE”, “CIDS1” and “CIDS2” messages do not prevent
dispatch, dispatch is possible under MEL.
For each Operational Interruption reported to Airbus, Airbus needs the following info in
the OI report:
•S ymptoms and fault messages (+date & time)
•R eference of TSM and AMM tasks performed
•P /N and S/N in the case of equipment removal or swap
Thereby, Airbus will be able to understand the following links:

and simplify the analysis of complex hardware failures, a Troubleshooting Data Decoder
tool is available FOC, as described in ISI article 23.73.00008.
Note:
A CIDS Interface & Power Up Test should be preferred to a CIDS Reset. It lasts the same
duration as a Reset and it provides fault messages to be investigated if the issue
is confirmed. Though, if a CIDS Reset is performed, ensure to follow the C/B sequence
as detailed in AMM and wait 10sec before pushing back the C/B.

D. Smoke Event
•R
efer to ISI article 26.10.00007: Prevention of aircraft smoke warnings not related
to real fires in case of: use of spray in cabin or cargo compartment
(AMM Task 12-21-12-670-006-A), extreme condensation / humidity, bleed air oil vapor,
entrapment of fumes in cargo compartment, terrestrial fires, anti-ice/de-icing fluids
into bleed air system, ingestion of engine cleaning agent into the ECS.
• Ensure that faulty Cargo S/D are replaced at the earliest opportunity after a “SMOKE”
maintenance status associated to a S/D fault message are observed. Otherwise,
in the meantime, the related cargo cavity will be monitored by a single S/D instead of two,
therefore preventing the confirmation logic per cavity.
• Ensure that the cargo S/D contamination by dust is at a satisfactory level by cleaning
it as soon as the pre-fault fault message (class 3 fault “CONTAMINATION”) is triggered
by the SDF and by fulfilling MPD Task 261600-05-1 otherwise.
Note:
• MPD Task 261600-05-1 cleaning interval has been based on aircraft operation
between 1800/4400 FH within 12 Months, corresponding to 18000 FH or 10 Years
as mentioned in the MPD task. This cleaning interval may have to be adapted to airline
operation conditions.
• Siemens has provided recommendations to reduce the cleaning interval to 9,000 FH
for optical smoke detectors, from an equipment point of view. Refer to ISI 26.10.00004:

I. PSU Troubleshooting
The architecture of the PSU allows to test the connexion between the PSU and the DIR:
• A Reading Light activation from pushbuttons on the overhead PSU will test the local
performance of the system.
• A Passenger announcement will test the connexion from the director to the PSU.
• A passenger call initiated from the PSU sends a signal from the PISA via DEU type A
to the director. The director transmits a signal via the DEU type A to the respective PISA
and the related call light comes on. Therefore, the connexion between the PSU
and the director is tested back and forth.
Notes:
• Operational test of the Reading Light can be performed by following the AMM task
23-73-64-720-001-A.
• Operational test of Loudspeaker can be performed by following the AMM task
23-73-00-710-036-A.
A reliability issue of the PAX call switch has been identified, which may lead to find defective
PAX call switch.
Defective switch can be replaced on wing. Refer to AMM and TFU 23.73.00.105.

E. CIDS Event
PA issue:
In case of Crackling noise and/or interferences on Interphone and Passenger Address
an audio RAM might fix the issue, as described in TFU 23.73.00.095 (DIR affected:
PN Z014H000131A & Z014H000231B).
Cockpit Call:
If a call has been initiated by pressing a call button on the cockpit call panel and this call
was not accepted by the targeted attendant handset(s), then this call will be automatically
reset only after 5 minutes. Prior to that reset, all cabin attendant stations would not be able
to address the cockpit.
Defective handset:
One handset has to operative at each pair of exit doors, but MMEL can be applied
for others handsets if defective (refer to chapter handset MMEL chapter 5.E.iv).
In particular in case of FWD handset inoperative and no spare available, operative AFT
and inoperative FWD handsets could be swapped and MMEL applied to allow dispatch.
Notes:
