Hour meters are indispensable wherever service intervals have to be effectively monitored and planned. They can make a significant contribution to efficient cost calculations as they guarantee that maintenance will be carried out at exactly the right time. They literally have everything under control and can have a major effect on the budget.
The new HR 47 electromechanical hour meter from Kübler combines the benefits of being economical and powerful.
As an electromechanical meter it is virtually impossible to manipulate. Thanks to its high IP 65 level of protection and its broad operating temperature range, as well as its excellent resistance to shock and vibration, the HR 47 is ideal for tough industrial environments. It is at home in outdoor applications, machines with high loads, construction machinery or industrial trucks. In consequence it offers a long service life.
The standard format housing is simple to install thanks to its flexible mounting clips and can be used in virtually any application thanks to the wide choice of power supply options on offer. These cover 10-80 V d.c. or 100-130 V a.c. at 60 Hz up to 187-264 V a.c. at 50 Hz.
On the informative side a run indicator reliably displays the status of the meter, whilst its large figures ensure that the count value can be easily read at a glance.
