FLEETWATCH® GP55 GPS Mileage Module

PRODUCT FEATURES

The GP55 GPS Mileage Tracking Module automatically counts and records miles traveled using GPS technology. The GP55 tracks mileage by continuously measuring data points and recording the distance from point to point. Built-in error correction insures accurate mileage even in situations where GPS reception is impossible for short periods of time.

When the GP55 receives a beacon signal from a receiving unit (see RECEIVER OPTIONS), it transmits the preprogrammed vehicle number, the life-to-date mileage of the vehicle, and coded data, including information on the status of the battery powering the unit, to the receiver. The data collected can be downloaded directly to an output device to generate mileage reports, or it can be combined with data collected from other FLEETWATCH® devices (see INTEGRATION WITH FLEETWATCH® FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) allowing completely automatic collection of vehicle number, life-to-date mileage, and amounts of all fluids dispensed.

Installation Procedure

The GP55 GPS Mileage Tracking Module installs quickly and easily in any vehicle. For maximum security and flexibility, the GP55 consists of 3 modules.

The GP55 is the actual brain of the GPS mileage tracking module and may be mounted under the dash of the vehicle or another inconspicuous location for maximum protection from the elements and tampering or vandalism. The GP55 requires only 3 wires connected to an existing vehicle 12VDC power source.

The TX55 Transceiver unit is the module that transmits the data stored within the GP55 to a receiver unit. The TX55 is typically mounted where it can be conveniently read during fueling.

The third module, the GPS Antenna, may be mounted internally in a window of the vehicle or externally on the roof, trunk lid, etc. to maximize GPS reception.

In a service lane configuration where vehicles serviced are of similar size and type (i.e. transit buses), the TX55 Transceiver Module is typically placed inside at the top of a window or behind an upper fiberglass panel. This placement allows the FR55 to read the GP55/TX55 automatically as the vehicle pulls into servicing position.

Integration with Fluid Management Systems

The GP55 GPS Mileage Tracking Module, integrated with the FLEETWATCH® Fluid Management System or other Fluid Management Systems, allows automatic collection of vehicle number, life-to-date mileage, and quantities of fuel and fluids dispensed.

A typical fueling sequence using the GP55 with the complete FLEETWATCH® Fluid Management System:

Vehicle pulls into fueling area where the driver/service attendant enters employee number into RIH Unit at the fuel island to begin the transaction.

In a fixed reader configuration (typically used for vehicles of similar type) the FR55 Fixed Reader prompts the GP55/TX55 module to transmit vehicle ID and life-to-date mileage to begin the service transaction.

In a hand held reader configuration (typically used where a wide variety of vehicles types are serviced) the driver/service attendant is prompted to use the Hand Held Antenna. Driver holds the antenna near the TX55 transceiver unit (typically located on the fueling side of the vehicle) and pushes the read button, capturing the vehicle number and life-to-date mileage

System verifies vehicle’s fuel type and unlocks only those fuels assigned to vehicle

Driver fills the vehicle and then resets the RIH unit to complete the transaction. The FLEETWATCH® System then records the vehicle number, mileage, driver ID, time and date of the transaction and the amount of fuel/fluids dispensed in the vehicle
