Looks like a solid gauge. The price is right.

I tested this unit extensively before installing it. It seems to work in reverse if the polarity is reversed? You can hear it "tick" when it's running. I use it to monitor actual stove run time and calculate propane usage. To do this I used a DPDT relay which is switched by a thermostat providing 12v to the meter switching the other side of the relay to light the stove (no voltage).

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some flaws

Works perfectly! Suitable for electrical appliances

With very careful measurement, this unit can be installed on the front of the Honda EU3000i Handi to the right of the Eco Throttle switch. Installation is a minor job as the front panel has to be removed from the generator to gain access. I've decided to plug this device into a DC outlet and it seems to be working fine. The unit arrived with about 1/10 hour of work on the counter, I believe after the factory control tests?

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home

Installed on Honda EU 2000i Generators

Two installed, one each on new Honda EU2000i and EU2000i Companion Generators. The Companion required a 12VDC power source drawn from a 120VAC to 12VDC power supply as I didn't want to be tied to the status LEDs. The raw (PCB) PS was flooded with 3M 270 for weather protection. The EU 2000i plugs into an existing 12V DC power outlet. Both hour meters work. Because these devices are subject to hash elements (vibration, gas, etc.), I'm holding back a star. You can already see that the white…

  • Satisfied so far

Perfect fit for my Honda EU2000i Generator/Inverter

I wanted an hour meter to keep track of usage on my Honda EU2000i Generator/Inverter and found this Aimilar DC 6-50V Mechanical Hour Meter that fits perfectly. Please refer to the attached image to determine the correct fitting location as this is the only location with sufficient space on the Honda EU2000i. I just connected it to the 12V DC output of the device. Please note that this is an analogue hour meter and therefore cannot be reset. However, unlike digital devices, this one does not…

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • No Instructions

Excellent replacement for the original meter; eg Gravely

Perfect replacement for Gravely PM260Z (model 992018) - can be mounted with screws or with rear ratchet clamp (included) like original Gravely - Replacement flow meter for Gravely/Ariens $45 online. I bet it's basically this gauge - I had to open the card slot lengthways a bit (just a few file moves in the 1/8" alloy panel - old gauge failed after 19 years and 1475 hours - victim of inappropriate pressure washing, I think - Just connect it in parallel with the "ignition" from a switched source…

Pros
  • Excellent fit for me
Cons
  • Slightly dented

I love the old mechanical hour meter, reliability

A simple and reliable mechanical hour meter that I installed on my Honda 2000i generator. It needed a simple cut and wiring to make it work, but I didn't want any of those electronic versions to need a battery to keep the clock running, which would eventually die of low battery and lose clock recording. I can't say how long it will last, but they have been in use for many years and provide reliable service for a mechanical hour meter with a long service history. Update: Now, after about three…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • The list will go on.
