1.3.1 Modular Fleet Journal (FJ3)
The FJ3 is the main component of the Fleet Journal system installed in the vehicle. It
stores the vehicle usage data, which includes the start and end times of a trip,
beginning and ending odometer readings, maximum speed and more. This provides
the fleet manager data of the use of all fleet vehicles.
The FJ3 data automatically transfers the data to the FMS application via the
ICU/WAF when within approx. 300 feet of the antenna (line of sight).
The FJ3 can be configured to record odometer and/or engine hour readings
The Vehicle data is uploaded in one of the following methods:
• 2.4GHz Wireless connection with fuel station controller (ICU).
• 2.4GHz Wireless VDC connection at parking lot, garage, etc.
• Online connection via cellular modem.
This document describes the installation procedures for the FJ3 (2.4 GHz).

“shut-down” timer relay or similar, available from the automotive
aftermarket. This is commonly used on police/emergency and utility
vehicles to prevent dead batteries due to drain from aftermarket installed
electronics.
