Solid State Digital Hour Meters & Counters
The Curtis 700 Series are highly reliable solid state hour meters and counters that offer an
unprecedented combination of patented technology, performance, reliability and value.

MODEL 700: 2-Wire Hour Meter, displays only when powered. Available in AC/DC.
MODEL 701: 3-Wire Hour Meter, has a provision or continuous display. Available in AC/DC and DC-only.
MODEL 703: Pulse Counter. Available in AC/DC and DC-only.

A wide variety of industrial and commercial applications, including scheduled maintenance, warranty
and leasing – for medical equipment, transport and industrial vehicles and other industrial equipment.

FEATURES
▶ All-8’s LCD function test: each digit displays an eight for
one second after power-up.
▶ Attractive 6-digit LCD 5mm or 7mm high digits
(7mm with optional backlighting) are much easier
to read than electromechanical meters, which
have only 3mm high digits.
▶ Silent operation – no moving parts. Eliminates
annoying gear and motor noise.
▶ Exceptional reliability due to nonvolatile memory
(EEPROM) which retains data for 25+ years.
▶ Wide voltage ranges, for example, one unit
can be powered from 75 to 270 VAC anywhere
between 48 and 440 Hz – ideal for distribution
and worldwide markets without having to
stock multiple model types.
▶ Electrical reset (optional).
▶ Available in ten case styles – all fit in standard
hour meter/counter cutouts.
▶ Multiple mountings available – Metal U-bracket, “U”
clamp/stud (D, Q, R and S cases), flange mount with
hardware (F, T, J cases), or mounting clip (L, Y, Z, cases).
▶ Backlit units allow external illumination control,
i.e., on/off or dimmer (12 VDC only).
▶ Flashing hourglass icon indicates when the hour
meter is accumulating time.
▶ Memory will arm only when power has been applied
for five seconds (with no loss of time or counts).
▶ Low power consumption.
▶ UL and CE* recognized.

*This product is excluded from CE EMC testing and, if CE marking is required, must
only be sold to OEMs completing machine level EMC testing for CE certification.
