Service hour recorder for Schoma CFL-18DCL

The service hour recorder is an instrumentation component used to monitor and log the total operating time of heavy machinery. By tracking the exact hours the engine or equipment has been running, it provides the necessary data to schedule preventative maintenance tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, and system inspections based on actual usage rather than calendar time.

This component, part number K63.000141, is designed for the Schoma CFL-18DCL locomotive. It connects to the electrical system of the locomotive and activates when the engine is running or when specific operational conditions are met. The device ensures accurate data collection, which is necessary for managing the maintenance cycles of the diesel engine, transmission, and other critical locomotive systems.

Hour meters function as management tools for maintenance planning across various types of heavy equipment. They are designed to withstand the operational environments typical of industrial and mining machinery, including exposure to vibration and dust. By providing a consistent record of service hours, this instrument helps operators and maintenance teams perform service at the correct intervals, supporting the availability and operational management of the machine.
