Problems Possible causes Methods of repair and checking
The O
SCILLATING WEIGHT
rotates at an abnormally high
rate, and no charging is made.
1) The COIL of the
G
ENERATING COIL BLOCK is
broken.
2) The pivot of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR is
broken. (The pinion of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR and the
gear of the I
NTERMEDIATE
WHEEL FOR GENERATING
ROTOR are out of mesh.)
1) Check the resistance of the
G
ENERATING COIL BLOCK.
Replace the G
ENERATING COIL
BLOCK if the COIL is broken.
2) Remove the broken piece of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR, and replace
and lubricate the G
ENERATING
ROTOR. (Overhaul and clean if
necessary.)
The O
SCILLATING WEIGHT
will not rotate.
1) The gear of the
OSCILLATING WEIGHT and
the pinion of the
I
NTERMEDIATE WHEEL FOR
GENERATING ROTOR
are out
of mesh.
2) The pivot of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR is
broken. (The pinion of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR and the
gear of the
INTERMEDIATE
WHEEL FOR GENERATING
ROTOR engage with each
other.)
1) If the gear of the O
SCILLATING
WEIGHT and the pinion of the
I
NTERMEDIATE WHEEL FOR
GENERATING ROTOR
are intact,
reassemble them to the movement.
2) Remove the broken piece of the
G
ENERATING ROTOR, and replace
and lubricate the G
ENERATING
ROTOR. (Overhaul and clean if
necessary.)
The current consumption for
the whole of the movement
exceeds the standard value.
1) When the measurement is
made, the IC is still in the
quick start mode. (When the
current consumption
m
easures about 200µA, it is
likely that the IC is in the quick
start mode.)
2) The load applied on the
gear train, etc. has increased,
and the driving pulse to
compensate it has been
generated.
1) After connecting the tester, move
the O
SCILLATING WEIGHT more
quickly for a longer period of time,
and then, make the measurement
again.
2) If the current consumption for
the C
IRCUIT BLOCK alone is within
the standard value range, overhaul
and clean the movement parts, and
then, make the measurement again.
The current consumption for
the C
IRCUIT BLOCK alone
exceeds the standard value.
1) The light from outside the
movement is affecting the
measurement.
2) When the measurement is
made, the IC is still in the
quick start mode. (When the
current consumption
m
easures about 200µA, it is
likely that the IC is in the quick
start mode.)
3) The IC is out of order.
1) Shut out the light, and make the
measurement again.
2) Switch the IC to the normal
mode, and make the measurement
again.
3) Replace the C
IRCUIT BLOCK.
