FAQs
- Q: Do digital hour meters lose data when power is switched off?
A: No — they use non-volatile memory to store elapsed time permanently, even during power interruptions. - Q: Can digital hour meters be reset?
A: Standard models are non-resettable to maintain true lifetime records, though resettable versions are available on request for batch or service interval applications.
