Hour Meter

Application	An hour meter is a gauge or instrument that tracks and records elapsed time, normally displayed in hours and tenths of hours. The majority of hour meters are used to log running time of equipment to assure proper maintenance of expensive machines or systems. This maintenance typically involves replacing, changing or checking parts, belts, filters, oil, lubrication or running condition in engines, motors, blowers, and fans, to name a few.
Services	track running time between scheduled service .
Specification	The primary reason for using an hour meter is for maintenance. If you rely on the actual running time of an engine to schedule maintenance from the last service, rather than calendar days or miles driven, there is less guesswork and greater correlation to the true operating life of the equipment.
