most likely will have been turned off and its 12V DC Power output will need to be turned
back on.
o Once AC and DC power is available:
1. The Main 12V battery-backup supply should start recharging its battery
2. the electronics and displays should turn back on
3. The internal battery which powers the GPS and CSAC atomic clocks will start
charging
4. The GPS should find satellites and re-establish latitude, longitude, and time
5. The CSAC atomic clock will resume operation and once again provide a precise
reference signal to the GPS system.
6. Winding will resume if AutoWind is enabled, and the chronometer will be
wound to its normal condition (approximately 8 hours on the state-of-wind
indicator)
o The chronometer, if fully run down, will need to be reset and restarted, as is described
above in “Winding and Setting the Chronometer”.

Changing the Printer Paper
o When the paper tape supply is nearing its end, there will be a red stripe visible on the
printed tape. At this time additional paper rolls should be obtained. It is recommended
to use archival-type thermal paper to avoid fading of the printed results over time.
o
Open the front cover of the thermal printer by pulling down on the center tab.
o Remove the old paper spool and insert the new spool with the paper tape running out
the bottom of the spool.
o Close the front cover of the printer.
o Operation of the paper feed can be verified by pressing the small “feed” button on the
lower left of the printer.
• Locking the Chronometer for Storage or Shipment
o If the TTC (or the Chronometer by itself) will be shipped or moved by any means other
than hand-carry, the chronometer must be stopped. The bottom of the chronometer
may accessed as described above in “Manual Winding”.
o Once the bottom of the chronometer is visible, the AutoWind system must be removed
by unscrewing the knurled black thumbscrew in its center.
o With the AutoWind system removed, a small Allen hex-drive screw is visible. It should
be turned clockwise to lock the chronometer’s balance wheel. The screw can be turned
with the L-shaped Allen wrench provided and should only be turned “finger-tight” to
stop the balance wheel.
o After stopping the balance wheel, the AutoWind mechanism may be placed back onto
the bottom of the chronometer, secured by the thumbscrew, and the chronometer
returned back to its normal face-up position.
o After the chronometer has been stopped, engage the gimbal ring lock by loosening the
knurled thumbscrew and turning the brass lever in the near-right corner of the control
panel to engage the slot in the gimbal ring. Once the lever is engaged in the slot, re-
tighten the knurled thumbscrew to hold it in place.
