Engine hours

Activate engine hours by choosing an ignition or CAN-bus data source and setting an initial value, then use the counter to trigger maintenance reminders.

Engine hours is a tool that allows owners of vehicles and special machinery to monitor engine running time and schedule maintenance works based on this data.

To activate Engine hours:

1. Open Devices and settings, choose the object you need, and proceed to the Engine hours block.

2. Click the Add engine hours button.

3. Choose a data source: ignition or engine hours from the CAN bus.

4. Set the initial value for engine hours (0 to 99,999,999 hours, up to 2 decimal places).

5. Click Save.

To receive data from the ignition sensor, create it beforehand as a discrete sensor.

Unlike the Odometer, engine hours has no correction multiplier.

To display engine hours data in the Tracking module, add the Engine hours widget to the widget bar at the bottom of the screen. Just click the + button at the upper-right corner of the widget bar and add the Engine hours widget.
