What is the function of the hour meter on the SOP panel?

The function of the hour meter on the SOP panel is to display operating hours. This feature is crucial for monitoring the amount of time that the equipment has been in use, which can help in scheduling maintenance, assessing the wear and tear on machinery, and ensuring that operational efficiency is maintained. By keeping track of the total operating hours, users can better plan for preventive maintenance and avoid unexpected downtimes, thereby enhancing productivity and prolonging the life of the equipment.

In this context, while cycle time tracking, power status indication, and fault resetting are important functions for various operational aspects, they do not specifically relate to the functionality of the hour meter, which is solely focused on displaying how many hours the equipment has been actively operational.
