It records highest RPM and maximum temperature since start, allows manual input of previous hours when replacing units, and triggers visual alerts for over-rev and over-temperature conditions. Rugged construction, selectable backlight modes and simple mounting options make it practical for workshop and field use.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this gauge display and record engine running hours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit tracks two separate hour counters: TOT (total accumulated run time) and JOB (single-session hours). You can also preset previous hours (INT) to carry over service history when swapping the meter. A service reminder (SVC) can be set between 5 and 1000 hours so you know when maintenance is due.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal and job hour ranges: 0–99,999 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgrammable previous hours for replacement units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eService timer adjustable from 5 to 1000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLCD shutdown to extend battery life during long downtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat RPM information and alarms will I get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meter shows real-time RPM using a one-wire pickup on the spark plug lead and adapts to different firing patterns. It keeps the peak RPM recorded since startup and lets you set an RPM alert threshold to warn of over-revving. The readable range spans 0 to 25,000 RPM, making it suitable for a wide variety of small gas engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReal-time RPM readout and highest RPM stored\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRPM alert programmable from 100 to 25,000 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-wire spark plug signal lead included (68.8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports multiple ignition\/firing pattern settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow accurate and flexible is the temperature monitoring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RL-HM035A-M5 monitors current and maximum temperatures via a probe sensor and alerts you when readings exceed your set threshold. Temperature can be shown in Celsius or Fahrenheit and covers a wide span from -20°C up to 300°C (-4°F to 572°F).
