1. Select the operating signal
Run the machine and identify rigid surfaces that vibrate whenever the equipment is genuinely operating. Check low-speed, idle, loaded, and unloaded conditions that should be included in the runtime record.
2. Choose a protected location
Avoid exhaust heat, moving parts, direct impact, loose panels, flexible hoses, heavy debris paths, immersion, and direct high-pressure washing. Make sure the display can be read and the meter can be inspected later.
3. Prepare and mount
Stop and isolate the machine according to its safety procedure. Clean and dry the surface. Attach Xhour with suitable industrial adhesive or screws, following the requirements of the equipment and mounting material.
- Use a clean, dry, rigid surface
- Secure the complete enclosure
- Do not interfere with guards or service access
4. Verify and document
Record the initial display value. Start the machine through its normal operating range and confirm that time is added. Stop the machine, allow for the normal detection delay, and confirm that counting ends. Recheck the mounting after the first work cycle.
