SETIING INSTRUCTIONS AND PROGRAMMING
ELECTRONIC ACCUSET CIRCUIT
Important: It is necessary to re-synchronlze
ACCUSET circuit after:
A.
Installing a Power
Cell.
B. Servicing the
Movement.
C. Interruption of Current (e.g. loose contact
screw).
SETIING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. When sweep second hand of the watch
reaches the 60th second mark (12 o'clock marker),
pull crown out to Position 3 (See Fig. 4). (All hands
will now stop.)
Step 2. Press and release ACCUSET button.
(ACCUSET circuit is now synchronized with position
of second hand.)
.
Step 3. Turn hands forward until date
changes.
(This establishes midnight.)
Step 4. If A.M., advance hands five minutes ahead
of a time standard being used. Then gently turn
the minute hand back to correct time.
If P.M., advance the hands past 12 o'clock (noon)
to 5 minutes ahead of time standard and then gently
turn the minute hand back to correct time.
Step 5. When time standard being used reaches
"""
the 60th second mark (12 o'clock marker), push
crown to the "intermediate"
position (Position 2).
<:»
All hands will start instantly.
Step 6. First set the date, then the day. Crown must
remain in Position 2. Slowly turn crown forward to
correct date; backward to correct day. Push crown
"in" (Position 1).
Note: Day Indicator is printed in English and
Spanish, or English and French. Set
accordingly.
The Calendar can be manually set at any time during
the day or
night.
The design is such that no damage
will occur during instant manual day/date setting.
Once the ACCUSET circuit has been set (Refer to
Step 1 and Step
2),
there is no need to reset it,
unless the power cell has been removed, or there
has been an interruption
of
current.
CHECKING THE ACCUSET FUNCTION
After programming the Accuset feature, check
as follows:
1) Press and release button (A) when the watch's
second hand reaches the 15 second marker. The
second hand should stop for 15 seconds.
2) Press and release button (A) when the
time
standard being used, reaches the 60th second mark-
er. The second hand should then advance twice as
fast until the correct second is reached.
Accuset
Not Functioning
Properly
1) With the movement in the case, press the
Accuset
Button.
The contact strip (Part #20.765)
should press against the contact stud riveted to
the underside of the electronic
circuit.
When the
button is released, the contact strip should return
to rest against the limiting post on the pillar plate.
2) If contact strip is correct, re-synchronize the
Accuset
circuit.
3) If the Accuset feature continues to malfunc-
tion,
replace electronic
module.
Checking the Frequency (Rate)
Place watch on Frequency Counter pick-up. Quartz
frequency should be 32,768 Hz ± 0.17 seconds per
day.
Adjusting the Frequency (Rate)
Use a screwdriver to turn the trimmer in the approp-
riate direction (+ or -). The maximum rate change
is approximately
8 seconds per day. Avoid excessive
downward pressure on the trimmer. If rate cannot be
corrected, replace the electronic
circuit.
REMOVING STEM
On occasion, pressing the lever for setting lever
(#51.081) may not release the stem. It will then be
necessary to insert the blade of a screwdriver be-
tween the setting lever and the stem and by carefully
twisting the screwdriver a slight amount, disengage
the setting lever retaining pin from the stem
slot.
The stem can then be removed.
SERVICE
It is NOT necessary to periodically clean the Series
245
movement.
CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
The following components
should not be dipped in
solvent:
_ Dial Support (#10.106)
- Electronic Circuit (#10.513)
- Coil Winding (#20.590)
- Stepping Rotor (#20.580)
- Stator (#20.582)
- Date Indicator (#91.440)
- Day
Indicator
(#91.441)
-
Circuit
Insulator (#20.655)
After removing the above listed
components,
clean
the movement in
usual
manner. The use of Miracle
Plastic,
One Step, or equivalent is acceptable. DO
NOT OIL
TRAIN
BUSHINGS. The rotor pivots and
pinion can be cleaned with "one
dip"
or soft (pith)
wood.
Oil the
rotor
pivots
only,
using lubricant #OL
216. The setting, dial train and
calendar
