The Compact 900 presents itself !

The Compact 900 is an all purpose watch timing instrument for testing of
mechanical watches, quartz watches, pendulum clocks as well as pocket
watches.

Equipped with: Display 256 Colour, 12 x 9 cm
8 buttons for easily and quick handling of different functions
Automatic Standby (low current) while not measuring a watch signal

Mechanical Watches (special program for Co-Axial-escapement):

Graphical and alphanumerical indication of:
Rate error, amplitude, out of beat in milliseconds.
Oscillographical noise-meter.

Quartz watch:

Graphical and alphanumerical indication of:
Rate error, motor impulse (inductive), quartz frequency (acoustic).
Automatic calculation and indication of inhibition.

Consumption of electricity: operational current, quiescent current.

Supply Voltage for watches is adjustable from 0.5 to 3.3 Volt.
Checking of Battery as well as stepper motor ohms.

Pendulum clocks:

Graphical and alphanumeric indication of:
Measuring of rate error with light barrier « OPTO 06 »
or with acoustical clamp microphone « CM06 ».
Automatic calculation and indication of beat rate (if unknown).

Printing results:

The results can be printed alphanumerically with a serial printer or

transferred to your computer « PC(result) ».
Your company data (if given) are printed on the printout header.

Transform Parameters to the PC:

The measured data can be transferred automatically every (x) seconds to
your « PC(grafic) » and can be indicated as a long term graphic.

Following microphones (adapters) can be used:
MP86 Microphone for mechanical watches, fixable in all positions.
QM06 Microphone for mechanical and quartz watches.
CM 06 Clamp microphone for pocket watches, large watches, pendulum

clocks.

EM06 Watch holder with mirror for measuring electrical values of quartz

watches.

Opto06 Light barrier for optical measuring of pendulum clocks.

Start up

Connect the unit with the power transformer to the power supply line and

switch on with the turning knob. Put the mark of the knob on 12 o’clock.

After switching on you can see the following:
The green control lamp «Power» lights up if the unit is connected with the
power supply and switched on.

If your data as your name, address, tel., etc. have been programmed,
they will appear instead of the Greiner logo (printout header).

Standby

If the Compact 900 is on and during 10 minutes is no watch signal incoming
or any key pressed, then the display switches off automatically (black screen)
and the unit is on standby.
The green control lamp «Power» still lights up, and indicates that the unit
is still on hand and can be activated by pressing any button.

Testing mechanical watches

1.
Put the watch between the slider and the

Pins (fork) of the microphones “QM06”, or
“MP86”. For watches, for example pocket

watches or alarm clocks, you can use the

clamp microphone “CM06”.

2.
Press button “Auto Mode” for starting

the automatic measurement or
choose button P1 to P6 for selecting a
specific program, if the beat rate is known.
