The adjustment of oscillator of the SEIKO Quartz 3823 is made by simply changing the capacity of the step variable condenser, ‘The step variable condenser has 9 con- densers of different capacities. ‘The capacity may bp optionally changed by using a combi- nation of these condensers, The change of capacity ismade by changing the mumbers and the positions of the contact spring pins. (© Checking accuracy cannot be made with conventional mechanical watch testers, It is necessiry to use the QUARTZ TESTER. (4) Battery The electric source, a silver oxide battery (EPX-77) lasts for more than a year. The battery maintains constant voltage except when it is near end of its service life at which time voltage drops sharply. Therefore, when watch stops or time keeping becomes inaccurate, the first step is to check battery life.

Functi jing of mechanical section (1) Step motor One of the features of the watches is the SEIKO step motor which changes vibrations of crystal oscillator into rotating motion. The step motor consists of a coil block, two rotor stators and a step rotor, The rotor stators are made of materials having high conductivity of magnetic force. The step rotor isa circular-shaped permanent magnet having six alternately imposed N and S poles Sup rotor, Rotor stator Direction of magnate fad ‘One second Operational sequence (1) Current flows in coil block The current, whose flow direction is changed once every second, is trans- mitted from circuit unit into coil block.

Thus, the average daily tolerance will be within plus/minus 0.3 seconds per day. Quartz crystal watehes displayed in illuminated show cases will have a high temperature. When ‘usted with the quartz tester, tost values will, therefore, show a variance, Test values for watches in such condition should be road after the temperature of watches has become stabilized.
