Connect both wiring points of the buzzer to the movable contact probes or to the probe tips. The
polarity is irrelevant.
Please note: There are different ways to drive audible sound transmitters. The loudness obtained with
the pulse generator test can therefore differ from the loudness in normal operation.

TESTING MECHANICAL WATCHES
15.1
General Introduction
The Analyzer Q1 can measure the rate and the beat error (Repère) of mechanical watches.
The
Vario
display mode also includes the maximum and minimum measurement values as well as the
average rate deviation for the entire measurement time.
The instrument is well suited for a quick test of mechanical watches. For troubleshooting and repair,
we however recommend an instrument with diagram charting (e.g. the WATCH EXPERT II).
15.2
Procedure
In automatic test mode, the instrument detects automatically that a mechanical watch has been
laid and selects the
Mechanical watch test
mode. This test mode can also be selected manually.
Place the watch on the sensor with the glass upward. Always check that the watch case is in
contact with the transducer stick.
The
mechanical
LED indicates the strength of the recorded signal.
Measurement starts automatically with an 8-second measurement time.
Running measurement can be interrupted and reinitialized at any time with the
start
key.
15.3
Result Display
The current results of the rate deviation and beat error are displayed with large digits.
