Enm Vibration Activated LCD Hourmeter T56C1

have had the ENM unit installed about 9 years. The battery final died. I have mine mounted with adel clamps on the motor mount of my I J-5. I have a friend that his is mounted on the instrument panel of his Champ. Both installations work great. I only have about 200 hours on the J-5 so I will mount ENM on a small fan and let it run for a couple of weeks to get the hours on the new unit back to 200. It is a simple effective device.

This is my second one. The first one only lasted 17 flight hours. I do believe I got a dud the first time

The hour meter works well I would have given it a 5 rating, except for the length of the wire. I connect a toggle switch in the wire, to assure that the hour meter only records when the engine is running and not when another vibration occurs. The wire on the back is so short that it is going to be problematic to install a toggle switch. The first ENM vibration activated hour meter I ordered several years ago had a longer wire and allowed for much easier installation of a toggle switch in the line.

It took quite a while (about two weeks) but the return of the item in exchange for a new one was good.

I have several of these in training aircraft that have not electric. One of them is at nearly 1000 hours in about 2.5 years and is working great. In another aircraft The second one just died. 200 hours on the aircraft and about 2 years or less on each hobbs. That is disappointing. I would give up the waterproof feature for a replaceable battery. I mount them on top of the instrument panel, no exposure to weather.

Not accurate counting 20 % less from real flight time

This is the 3rd ENM vibration activated hourmeter I have purchased. Rather than the 7+ years advertised, my experience is that the battery in the hourmeter only lasts little more than 1 to 2 years. Wish they could figure a way to give battery access, then we wouldnt lose the hours recorded.

I bought this one to replace the original one ENM hour meter. that for some reason gets to 60.9 hrs and resets to 60.0. running up the hours on the new one will see if it can make it pasted 60.9

Flying and had just over 60 hours it counted up to 60.9 I shut down at that time. I started it back up and it rolled back to 60.0. This is the second time its rolled back.

I bought two of these for my J-3. Easy Toni stall, but neither work correctly. The first one froze with the hour digit stuck at 2 with the 1/10 digit still counting. The second one started briefly and then went blank. Total crap!

Lasted for almost two years then the battery died.

The internal battery is supposed to last 8 years (as marketed in the description), the hobbs meter died after about a year and a half. We were told the item only has a warranty for 1 year despite the claims made about its longevity. Dont waste your money.

Lasted 1.5 years then died.

Did not work. Clip the wire loop on the back to activate, is what it says. Did that. Cable-tied to the airframe. Over an hour on the airframe since then and the meter is still zeroed.

T56C1 7/2019 Installed in APR2020 and it stopped at 345.5 in JUN2021. Fine print on data sheet says one year warranty. Obviously their battery life is limited.
