Unigauge, Hour Meter And BDI
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the RA 870-231/002 Unigauge hour meter and BDI measure?
A: The RA 870-231/002 is a combined Unigauge unit that tracks cumulative equipment runtime via hour meter function and displays battery state of charge via battery discharge indicator (BDI). Both functions are integrated into a single panel mounted gauge.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the RA 870-231/002?
A: The RA 870-231/002 is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Raymond, Crown, and other manufacturers. It is commonly found in 24VDC to 36VDC systems. Verify your equipment voltage and model before ordering.
Q: Is the RA 870-231/002 equivalent to other hour meter and BDI models?
A: The RA 870-231/002 is superseded by RA 870-231-003 and is equivalent to RA 870-248 and BT 301445-000. If you are replacing an older RA 870-231/002, confirm dimensional and electrical compatibility with the newer RA 870-231-003 or equivalent models.
Q: How does regular hour meter monitoring support maintenance scheduling?
A: Hour meters on the RA 870-231/002 track total equipment use, allowing maintenance teams to schedule preventive service based on runtime rather than calendar time alone. Regular interval service at manufacturer specified hour thresholds extends equipment life and reduces downtime.
