EXCAVATOR HOUR METER
How Excavator Working Hours Are Calculated
The hardwired tracker reads ACC or ignition status. When the excavator starts, the platform begins a work session; when it stops, the session closes. Daily, weekly and monthly engine hours are calculated automatically. Managers can compare working, idling and stopped time, schedule service by accumulated hours and export utilization reports.
ACC ON→WORK SESSION
ACC OFF→HOURS REPORT
WORKFLOW
From Machine Start to Fleet Report
1. Install & connect
Hide the JT16 in the excavator and connect power, ground and ACC.
2. Detect operation
Ignition-on starts an engine-hour session while GPS records movement.
3. Upload data
4G sends location, status, alarms and accumulated hours to the cloud.
4. Review & act
Managers review utilization, maintenance reminders, routes and theft alerts.

Cost
Heavy Equipment Tracking Cost
Monthly cost depends on reporting frequency, SIM/data plan, platform features and fleet size. A cellular solution normally includes the device plus connectivity. LoRaWAN or a customer-hosted platform can reduce recurring costs for large fleets. Ask for a factory quotation by quantity, country and functions.
FAQ
