Counters and Hour Meters for Production and Maintenance
Kübler electronic preset counters, multifunction counters, electromechanical pulse counters and hour meters for counting parts, batches, length and machine run time. Our application engineers help you match the function, input signal, supply voltage and panel cutout.
Production counts done by hand drift from shift to shift, batches overrun because nothing stops the machine at the set quantity, and maintenance is planned on guesswork when no one knows how many hours a pump or compressor has actually run.
Types of counters & hour meters
Preset counters
Count pulses, length or time and switch outputs when a set value is reached, so the machine stops or changes over at the right batch quantity. The Codix 924 has up to 6 presets, relay or optocoupler outputs and a 2-line display.
Models: Codix 924 · Electronic Counter
Multifunction counters
One compact 48 × 24 mm device that works as a pulse counter, position display, frequency and speed display, or hour meter and short-time meter. 6-digit LED display with NPN or PNP inputs.
Models: Codix 524
Electromechanical pulse counters
Mechanical roller counters driven by a voltage pulse. The count is retained during a power failure and the units have very high shock resistance. Available for DC and AC supplies.
Models: K07.20 · Electromechanical Counter
Hour meters & totalisers
Non-resettable meters that record operating time and are extremely tamper-proof. Standard DIN panel sizes from 48 × 24 mm to 72 × 72 mm, plus the AH57 base-mount version for DIN rail.
Models: Hour meter H37 · Hour meter H57 · Hour meter H57 / AH57 · AH57 · Totalizer
What to specify
| Parameter | What to check |
|---|---|
| Counting task | Just display a running total → electromechanical or multifunction counter. Stop or switch the machine at a set quantity → preset counter (Codix 924). Record run time → hour meter. |
| Outputs | If the counter must act on the machine, choose a preset counter with relay or optocoupler outputs. Display-only counters have no switching outputs. |
| Input signal | Electronic counters accept NPN or PNP signals from sensors and encoders. Check the maximum count frequency against your fastest pulse rate. |
| Supply voltage | Codix 924 has a multirange supply (24 V AC, 100 to 240 V AC, 10 to 30 V DC). Electromechanical counters and hour meters come in specific AC or DC voltage variants, so match the coil voltage to the panel. |
| Resettable or tamper-proof | Batch and shift counts need a reset. For maintenance records, warranty or rental billing, use a non-resettable hour meter or totaliser. |
| Panel cutout & environment | Common sizes are 48 × 24 mm and 48 × 48 mm; hour meters also come in 55 × 55 mm and 72 × 72 mm. Codix counters and the H37 are rated IP65. |

Common questions
What is the difference between a preset counter and a totaliser?
A preset counter compares the count with one or more set values and switches an output when each is reached, so it can stop a machine or trigger the next step. A totaliser only accumulates and displays the total count or time, usually without a reset, which makes it suitable for records that must not be changed.
Electronic or electromechanical counter?
Electromechanical counters are simple, retain their value without power and need no programming, which suits stroke and cycle counting. Electronic counters such as the Codix 524 and Codix 924 add scaling, speed and frequency display, timing and, on preset models, switching outputs.
Can a counter show length or speed from an encoder?
Yes. The Codix 524 and Codix 924 accept NPN or PNP pulse inputs and the display can be scaled by a multiplier or dividing factor, so encoder or sensor pulses can be shown as length, position or speed.
Why are hour meters non-resettable?
Operating hours are used for maintenance intervals, warranty claims and rental billing, so the record must not be altered. Kübler hour meters such as the H37 and H57 are non-resettable and designed to be tamper-proof.
Can you suggest a replacement for an existing counter or hour meter?
Yes. Send us the label details of the unit you are replacing (make, model, panel size, supply voltage and input type) and our engineers will suggest a matching Kübler model.
