5.0 Timing key
A special timing key tool has been developed to adjust
the rate even when the movement is cased in. The rate
can be corrected according to the table below by turning
the two balance screws a complete turn. A scale is found
on the outside of the tool. A division corresponds to a rate
correction of 1 second. (according to the table below).
One screw is located between two arms on the balance
which are specially marked by points (see Figure 5.2) for
easy identification of each screw during the correction
process.
Balance
The annular balance has two adjusting micro-screws. A
slow rate deviation is corrected by tightening the micro-
screws (towards the centre of the balance), which redu-
ces its moment of inertia and makes it run faster. A fast
rate deviation is corrected by loosening the micro-screws
(away from the centre of the balance). This increases its
moment of inertia and makes it run slower.
Important:
The rate is always corrected using
both adjustment
screws
to prevent an unbalance of the balance.
Demagnetise the movement according to Working
Instruction 34.
