3.3 Power Connection
Properly connect the hour meter to the power source. The meter supports AC 85V to 250V and DC 60V to 150V.

Image: Two wiring diagrams. The top diagram shows a "Timing connection" with V- (negative pole), V+ (positive pole), and EN (timing) connected to a power source (AC 85V to 250V / DC 60V to 150V). The bottom diagram shows a "Timing reset connection" with V-, V+, R (resettable), and EN (timing) connected to a power source.
- Identify the V- (negative pole), V+ (positive pole), and EN (timing) terminals on the meter.
- Connect the corresponding wires from your power source (AC 85V-250V or DC 60V-150V) to these terminals using the 8-hole connector assembly.
- For timing reset functionality, connect the 'R' (resettable) terminal as per the diagram.

4. Operation
4.1 Recording Total Hours (TOT)
The meter continuously records the total operating hours of the equipment when power is supplied. The total hours (TOT) value is resettable and ranges from 0 to 999,999 hours.

Image: The hour meter displaying "TOT 999999.9 HOURS" and a separate display showing "h-SEt" for setting initial hours. This indicates the total accumulated operating time.
- Upon power-up, the meter will display the accumulated total hours.
- To set an initial hour value (e.g., for a new meter replacing an old one), refer to the "h-SEt" function in the user manual.
4.2 Resettable Job Timer (JOB)
The JOB timer records partial hours for a single working period and can be reset as needed. The JOB timer range is 0 to 999,999 hours.

Image: A sequence showing the JOB timer. Pressing the "SET" button once switches from TOT to JOB display. Pressing and holding the "SET" button resets the JOB timer to 0.0.
- Press the SET button once to switch the display from Total Hours (TOT) to Job Timer (JOB).
- To reset the Job Timer, press and hold the SET button until the JOB display resets to 0.0.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Display Lock Down
The LCD display can be locked down to conserve the built-in CR2430 battery and extend its lifetime.
