The HR-8063-2 installs with a patented one-wire inductive hookup so you don’t need to cut into ignition systems. Its epoxy-encapsulated, waterproof housing and ten-year internal battery let the meter sit exposed on handlebars, consoles, or frames while tallying accumulated hours for 2- and 4-stroke engines up to two cylinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this hour meter install without complicated wiring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be straightforward: the inductive pickup senses ignition pulses with a single wire clamp, avoiding any direct electrical connection to the engine’s ignition.
