Replacing the RIH with a Spare RIH
Use these steps to swap a Fleetwatch RIH 3000R for a spare unit. You’ll turn off power at the JB20 junction box, move the three military connectors to the spare, mount it, then power it up and initialize it.

The Equipment

⚠ Before you begin
• The JB20 contains live power. Only qualified personnel should open it.
• The fuel lane is out of service while the RIH is swapped. Let fuel lane staff know before you start.
• Have the spare RIH, its mounting hardware, and the Auto/Manual key on hand.

Part 1: Power Down and Remove the RIH

1 Turn off power to the RIH. Unlock the JB20 junction box and switch CB1 to the OFF (down) position. See Figure 3.

2 Disconnect the three military connectors by unscrewing them from the back of the RIH.
3 Remove the four nuts holding the RIH to the stand or wall bracket, and lift the RIH off. Keep the nuts and washers for the spare.

Part 2: Install the Spare RIH

4 Mount the spare RIH to the stand or bracket with the four nuts.
5 Reconnect the three military connectors to the spare RIH.
Hand-tighten only. Overtightening can damage the connectors.
6 Turn power back on by switching CB1 to the ON (up) position. See Figure 5.

Part 3: Initialize the Spare RIH

A spare RIH needs to be initialized so it shows your prompts and starts communicating with the Fleetwatch server. Until then, its display may show “SA Systems.”

7 Turn the key to START, then let go. Insert the Auto/Manual key and turn the START key switch to the right. The switch is spring-loaded, so release it and let it return to its normal position on its own.

8 Press RESET on the keypad. This completes the process and brings up the correct prompts.

✔ Check that it worked
• The RIH display shows your normal prompts.
• In Data Tools, the RIH shows three solid green status LEDs and “Communication Established” in the Service Activity Monitor (SAM).
