  • Digital Hour Meter Keeping Up The Upkeep Schedule For Heavy Machines

Digital Hour Meter Keeping Up The Upkeep Schedule For Heavy Machines

Posted on April 25, 2022

Have you noticed an LED display on heavy machinery like excavators display some numbers? The digital hour meter is a measuring instrument that measures and records time in hours and tenths of an hour. 

What is an Hour Meter?

An hour meter works as its name suggests. It is used to monitor and record the time one task takes to complete. It also records the total time elapsed and how much time is left on hand. The additional features are based on the type of meter you are using. The GIC hour meter & counter is an example of additional devices.  

 

Why Do We Need Hour Meter?

The hour meters are needed in industrial machines because these types of equipment are more sensitive and have complex components that require monitoring and regular maintenance. The GIC digital hour meter can be installed, and it will count the hours the machine was running according to that the management can understand when the machine is due for upkeep and maintenance. 

 

In the absence of such a device, the machines do not get due upkeep and require maintenance that damages the machinery after use. The heavy machinery has some features that are prone to risk due to a lack of regular monitoring and upkeep. 

 

The heavy machinery consumes a big chunk of energy and power which needs to be monitored. The hour meter is one such device that records the number of hours the machine is running and how much power or electricity it takes up.  

 

Along with the hour meter, some machines also require an amp-hour meter. The hour meter records the machine’s total time in its running state, and the amp-hour meter records the total amperes it consumed in its running state. The amp-hour meter records and calculates the current flow and the total electricity consumed by the machine and its circuits. The benefit of the amp-hour meter is that it provides the precise calculations of power and battery to amend. 

 

What is the Benefit of Digital Hour Meter?

Companies’ standard practice is to stay updated about technology and adapt to the newest trends. The new trends and technologies are made available to reduce the power consumption and total time taken to complete an action. 

 

It saves time and cost also. It makes the process easy and smooth to finish on time. We need special and heavy-duty machines, and these types of equipment require additional additives to help them in upkeep and action.

 

 The GIC digital hour meter & counter is one example of such additives for heavy industrial machinery that tracks the amount of current and battery required to run the machine and activates its circuits. You can find the best GIC hour meter price on various online vendors, or you can also contact an authorized distributor of GIC, and they will provide you with the best GIC hour meter price as per your requirement. 

 

What are the Different Types of Hour Meter?

Like any other digital component, the digital hour meters also come in a variety used in different applications. 

 

The first one is called intermittent hour meters and total runtime. It records the total running time even if the machine is in a running and active state intermittently. It works by calculating the total running time when the machine is running, and when it’s in the non-active state, it calculates the elapsed time. 

 

The intermittent hour meters are more common for metering and monitoring applications like water supply and maintenance. It is used in applications that have pumps or motors. 

 

How to Find the Best Hour Meter?

Many companies are manufacturing hour meters, and each of them has some feature that is distinct from the other, but you should look for something suitable for a particular application as per the requirement. 

The GIC digital hour meter & counter is the best in this category, and it comes in a wide range of AC and DC power supplies that make it useful in several heavy applications. It is compatible with different mounting styles and comes in two variants which are resettable and non-resettable. 

 

The non-resettable feature is handy in maintenance and service applications as no one can tamper with the meter readings. Then it gives highly accurate and reliable readings and comes in analog and digital variants. 

 

The Application Areas for the Digital Hour Meter

Numerous applications are benefitting from the GIC hour meter and counters like: 

 

Oil & Gas

Energy

IT & Telecommunication

Agricultural

Aerospace & Defense

Electronics & Consumer Goods

Chemicals

Automotive

Healthcare

Aviation

Power Generation Systems

Construction

 

Conclusion 

Some industries deploy heavy equipment like oil and mining sectors, and these machines are costly, so proper monitoring is needed to understand the scheduled maintenance and upkeep services. 

 

In situations like this, the digital hour meters are ideal to use as these are perfect and specially designed for this need. It can give you the exact time of total running hours and ideal hours. 

 

Thus the hour meters are a very effective tool and enable to save time and money by avoiding unnecessary damage and futile running hours. 

 

You can also monitor the total power the machines take by measuring units of amps per hour. This feature is more useful in large-scale machinery in industries.
