| Timing increment | The display advances by 0.1 hour every 6 minutes. |
| Display range | Counts to 9999.9 hours, then returns to 0000.0 and starts timing again. |
| Mounting and panel cutout | Snap-in mount; listed panel cutout size is 36 x 24 mm. |
What to Compare Before Buying
- Operating voltage: Check that the equipment uses DC power within the stated 12-36 V range. Do not treat the separate 40 V maximum as a normal operating voltage.
- Panel opening: Compare the listed 36 x 24 mm cutout size with the available opening.
- Mounting: Confirm that the equipment panel can accommodate the listed snap-in mount.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The description names vehicles, motors, trucks, pumps, trailers, lawn mowers, generators, sweepers, sanitizers and floor washers as possible applications. Check the specific machine’s DC voltage and panel fit rather than assuming that every machine in these categories is compatible.
Setup and Correct Use
The meter is described as snap-in mounted. During operation, the hours remain displayed. The source describes a gear-clicking sound and a symbol at the far right alternating between black and white as signs that timing has started normally.
Safe Use and Important Precautions
The stated support range is DC 12-36 V, and the source warns that voltage must not exceed 40 V because the meter may burn out. Confirm the equipment voltage before use.
Before You Decide
Check the DC voltage, the 36 x 24 mm panel cutout and whether the snap-in mount suits the installation. Also note that the hour display resets to 0000.0 after reaching 9999.9 hours.
Using the Reading in a Maintenance Log
If equipment maintenance is tracked by operating hours, record the meter reading with the date and equipment identification. Use the equipment maker’s maintenance schedule to determine what service is due; the meter records time but does not specify maintenance tasks or intervals.
