The package includes two inductive hour counters with wires and mounting screws, a bright LCD that displays hours and RPM, and a rugged housing designed to resist vibration, moisture, and heat up to 85°C (185°F). Because it senses ignition pulses rather than drawing battery power, installation is straightforward and well suited for outdoor, marine, and powersports gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the inductive hour meter record engine hours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meter senses ignition pulses from the spark plug wire and converts those pulses into accumulated run time and RPM readings. It requires no internal battery because it draws power directly from the engine’s ignition signals, and the LCD flashes during operation to confirm detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSenses ignition pulses via the included inductive wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplays total hours up to 9999.9 and RPM up to 99,999\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperates without a battery; powered by the engine’s ignition system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandby life better than 20,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the meter durable enough for outdoor and marine use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the BBTO hour meter is built from impact-resistant ABS with an epoxy-encapsulated casing to seal electronics against moisture and vibration.
