Quick answer
What is the Xhour vibration hour meter?
Xhour is a self-powered digital vibration hour meter that detects when an engine or machine is operating and records accumulated runtime automatically. It needs no machine wiring or external power connection.
Equipment owners use the recorded hours to plan preventive maintenance, document fleet usage, monitor machine activity, and support usage-based rental billing.
Product views
Compact hardware.
Clear information.
A high-contrast LCD, sealed internal battery, and practical four-point mounting make Xhour easy to add to working equipment.
How Xhour works
Fit it. Run it. Know it.
Xhour turns vibration into a useful operating-time record through a simple, automatic workflow designed for real equipment.
Sense
The meter activates automatically when the machine produces vibration above its detection threshold.
Track
Validated activity is added to the LCD runtime record for maintenance, monitoring, and billing.
SMART COUNTING LOGIC
Designed to count operation, not a single knock.
- 01
The first vibration pulse above approximately 64 mg opens a 5-second verification window.
- 02
A confirming pulse within that window validates activity and credits the first 5 seconds.
- 03
Counting stops after two consecutive 5-second windows without vibration, about 10 seconds after the final pulse.

Direct comparison
Vibration hour meter vs. traditional hour meter.
Xhour records the same essential operating-hour metric while avoiding an electrical connection to the machine.
| Factor | Traditional meter | Xhour |
|---|---|---|
| Machine connection | Requires electrical wiring | No machine wiring |
| Activation | Ignition or external signal | Machine vibration |
| Power source | Machine or external power | Built-in battery |
| Installation | Electrical installation | Adhesive or screw mounting |
| Runtime purpose | Operating-hour record | Operating-hour record |

Why runtime matters
Make maintenance more predictable.
Calendar-based servicing can miss how lightly or heavily a machine is actually used. Runtime records add practical context.
- Plan service by useBase inspections and maintenance on operating time.
- Support usage billingKeep a clear runtime reference for rented equipment.
- Improve fleet visibilityCompare usage across machines, tools, or locations.

Need model-specific information? Vivek can help match Xhour to your application.
What is the Xhour vibration hour meter?+
Xhour is a self-powered digital vibration hour meter that detects machine vibration and records accumulated operating time. It provides runtime records for preventive maintenance, equipment monitoring, fleet records, and usage-based billing without connecting to machine wiring.
Does Xhour need machine wiring or external power?+
No. Xhour uses a sealed built-in battery and detects machine operation through vibration. Standard installation does not require a connection to the ignition, electrical system, or an external power source.
Does Xhour transmit runtime information wirelessly?+
No. Xhour is self-powered and needs no machine wiring, but it does not transmit information wirelessly. Accumulated runtime is shown on the digital display.
How does Xhour decide when to count runtime?+
A first vibration pulse above approximately 64 mg opens a 5-second verification window. A confirming pulse validates activity and credits the first 5 seconds. Counting stops after two consecutive 5-second windows without vibration, approximately 10 seconds after the final pulse.
What equipment can use a vibration hour meter?+
Typical applications include generators, water pumps, compressors, tractors, harvesters, construction machines, rental equipment, trucks, diesel engines, motors, conveyors, and other equipment that produces consistent vibration while operating.
How is Xhour installed?+
Clean a vibration-active mounting surface, secure Xhour with suitable adhesive or screws, and start the machine to confirm detection. The selected location must transfer normal operating vibration to the meter.
What are the battery life and operating temperature?+
The built-in battery is specified for 1 to 3 years of application-dependent life. The specified operating temperature range is -20 C to +90 C.
Does Xhour require regular maintenance?+
No regular maintenance or calibration is required. Keep the meter securely mounted and avoid placing it on a surface that does not transfer machine vibration.
