Cat Backhoe service meter gauge does not turn off. Is that normal?

Hello everyone, I have a quick question about the hour gauge for a 98 416C CAT Backhoe. I noticed that the gauge does not turn off even if the key is not in the ignition. Is that normal? Should it turn off? Its been a couple hours since I turn the backhoe on and you can still see the digital numbers on the gauge. I did notice that the hours do not go up without the key in the ignition too. What do you guys think? Is this normal?

    Thanks. I just wanted clarification. I thought the cables under the dash gauges was not setup right. Thanks again.
