The epoxy-encapsulated ABS housing offers waterproofing and shock resistance, while the LCD screen displays accumulated hours up to 9999.9 and RPM readings for straightforward service scheduling. Because they clamp onto the ignition signal, installation is minimal and no internal power source is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this hour meter install and start recording?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed for quick mounting to the ignition lead; you do not need to open the engine or run a battery. Attach the included sensing wire near the spark plug wire and secure the meter with the supplied screws or zip ties. Once the engine runs, the meter senses pulses and begins accumulating time automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes two meters, two wires, and four mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo battery required — powered inductively from ignition pulses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple clamp\/wire connection beside the spark plug wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLED-like LCD flashes when engine is operating for instant confirmation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat durability and environmental protection does it offer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BBTO meter’s epoxy-encapsulated ABS shell is made to resist water, vibration, and temperature extremes commonly found on outdoor equipment.
