Fleetwatch FMS · Shop & Maintenance Bay Hardware
RIH/JB20 Fluid Capacity & the RS Remote Station
How many fluids a single RIH/JB20 can handle, and how to give technicians convenient access in larger shops.
|
16 fluids
Maximum per RIH/JB20
Each setup can control and measure up to 16 fluids.
|
17+ fluids
Requires a second RIH/JB20
Each additional RIH/JB20 adds capacity for up to 16 more.
|
The RS Remote Station
For larger shops, Fleetwatch offers the RS Remote Station. It connects to an existing RIH/JB20 and lets technicians operate it from another location.

Typical use
In a shop with many bays, a mechanic shouldn’t have to walk past several bays just to reach the RIH. Placing an RS closer to where they work saves steps and time on every service.
Which Setup Fits Your Shop?
| Your shop | Suggested setup |
|---|---|
| Up to 16 fluids, and the RIH is easy to reach from every bay | 1 RIH/JB20 |
| Up to 16 fluids, but bays are spread out and the RIH is a long walk for some technicians | 1 RIH/JB20 + RS Remote Station |
| 17 or more fluids | 2 or more RIH/JB20s You may not need an RS at all. Place each RIH/JB20 where it best fits your technicians’ workflow. |
Planning tip
Count every fluid you want to control and measure, not just the ones in use today. If you’re close to 16 and expect to add fluids later, plan for a second RIH/JB20 now so you can place both units where technicians need them.
