3.6 Functioning of the Cyclomotion
The speed of the spindle head (fig. 3.7. G) can be set to either
1 or 4 revolutions per minute (rpm). Due to the internal speed
increase the rotating speed of the clip is 4.5 times higher. The
watches are wound up either in both rotational directions or in
only one rotational direction depending on the type of watch
(see figures 3.6.1. and 3.6.2.).

3.10.2 Combination examples
You want to wind up 12 watches with straps; the watches are
wound in both directions. In this case you can mount e.g. 6x
„watch clip 2“.
You want to wind up 24 watches with straps; the watches are
wound in one particular direction. In this case you can mont e.g.
6x „watch clip 4 left/right“.
You want to wind up 18 watches: 14 watches are with straps, 4
watches are without straps. 10 of the 14 watches are wound in
both directions, 4 watches are wound in right direction only.
Equip your Cyclomotion with the „Elma Watch box“for the 4
watches without straps; with one „watch clip 2“ and 2x with
„watch clip 4“ for the 10 watches that are wound in both
directions; and 2x with „watch clip 2 left/right“ for the 4 watches
that are wound in right direction only. Set the sense of rotation
to “right” (see section 6).
You want to wind up 12 watches: 9 watches are with straps, 3
watches are without straps. 3 of the 9 watches are wound in
both directions; 3 watches are wound in right direction only; 3
watches are wound in left direction only. Equip your
Cyclomotion with the “Elma Watch box” for the 3 watches
without straps; 2x with “watch clip 2” for the 3 watches that are
wound in both directions; and with 3x “watch clip left/right” for
the remaining 6 watches that are wound in one direction only.
Activate the automatic change of the sense of rotation (see
section 6) to ensure that all watches are wound up.
You can wind up watches that are wound in both directions and
watches that are wound in one direction only at the same time.
Ensure that you set the correct sense of rotation on your
Cyclomotion (see also section 6).
You would like to wind watch movements on the Cyclomotion.

4.1 Unpacking and placement
Please keep the original packing for possible service purposes,
or dispose of it according to the relevant waste disposal
regulations. You can also return the packing to the
manufacturer or your supplier (charges to your account).
Check the unit for possible transport damages before initial
operation. In case of visible damage do not put the unit into
operation. Contact your supplier and forwarding agent.
For operation place the unit on a dry, solid and level surface.
The watch clips are secured for transportation purposes by
means of one cable strap each. Remove the cable straps
before you operate the unit.
Allowed ambient temperature during operation:
+5°C to +30°C.
4.2 Connection to the mains
Check the technical data indicated on the nameplate of the
Cyclomotion and ensure that they correspond with the available
mains connection conditions, in particular the mains voltage.
Plug the delivered power supply unit into an earthed socket and
connect the cable to the DC socket on the unit rear
(see fig. 3.8.B).

5 Initial operation
1. Fix the watches or the clockworks to the clips. The elastic
coating on the clips protects the watch cases against
scratches.
2. To mount a clip with fixed watches or clockworks to the
spindle head, turn the spindle head so that the empty clip
support is at the top. There are two ways to do this:
Put the main switch on the unit rear (see fig.3.8.A) in
position Ito switch it on and press the on/off key (fig.
3.9.A). Press the start/stop key (fig. 3.9.D) to start the
Cyclomotion, let the spindle head move into the required
position and press the start/stop key again to stop the
Cyclomotion.
Or turn the disengaging screw (fig. 3.7.B) to the left to
separate the spindle head from the drive shaft. Now turn the
spindle head into the required position by hand and
retighten the disengaging screw.
Note: The spindle head can be turned by hand even with
tightened disengaging screw. In this case, you need more
force to move the spindle head against the resistance. The
drive mechanism will not be damaged.
3. Mount the clips with fixed watches or clockworks to the
spindle head one after the other. For this, open the knurled
screw of the empty clip support (see fig. 3.7.D), insert a clip
and retighten the knurled screw. Then move the next clip
support in the required position and mount the second clip,
etc.
If the knurled screws are not retightened sufficiently the
clips may slip out of the supports during operation causing
damage to the watches or clockworks.
Note! Ensure that the weight of the watches is distributed
evenly over the complete circumference of the spindle head.
Cyclomotion pro: If you need to wind up very large watches
with a diameter > 50 mm check if there is enough space
between the watch(es) and the acrylic glass hood and the lock
(on the Cyclomotion the foot) to prevent scratch damages on
the watch(es) and or the unit. We recommend to fix large
watches to the bottom position of the watch clip 4 or to a watch
clip 2.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused
on/by watches with a diameter > 50 mm.
Fix the
watches/clockworks
to the clips

Initial operation

4. Put the main switch on the unit rear (see fig. 3.8.A) in
position Ito switch it on.
The Cyclomotion is now in standby mode. The ON/OFF
button is lighted red.
5. For a complete switch-off put the main switch into position 0.
When the unit is switched off by the main switch, it is separated
from the mains and does not consume any electricity.
Due to their own weight watches fixed to the clips may cause
the spindle head to move into a final position after switch-off.

6 Setting of the wind-up mode
The unit is correctly connected to the mains as described in
Section 4.2.; the main switch (see fig. 3.8.A) is switched on
(standby mode). The on/off button (fig. 3.9.A) is lighted red.
Switch on the unit at the ON/OFF button (fig. 3.9.A) to activate
the operating panel.
The on/off button is now lighted green.
Press the start/stop button (fig. 3.9.D). Now, the on/off button is
lighted green (fig. 3.9.A). The unit starts the winding process.
To stop the winding process press the start/stop button again.
The green light in the button turns dark.
You can select 2 different speeds of rotation:
4 rpm: Press the top button for setting the speed of rotation
(fig. 3.9.C). 4 rpm is the pre-set speed on the delivered unit.
1 rpm: Press the bottom button for setting the speed of rotation
(fig. 3.9.C).
The speed of rotation can be changed during operation. The
final setting is saved when the unit is switched off.
There are 2 options to set the sense of rotation:
Right-hand rotation:Press the top button for setting the sense
of rotation (fig. 3.9.B). Right-hand rotation is pre-set on the
delivered unit.
Left-hand rotation: Press the bottom button for setting the
sense of rotation (fig. 3.9.B).
The sense of rotation can be changed during operation. The
final setting is saved when the unit is switched off.
Keep the start/stop button pressed for 2 sec to activate the
automatic change of sense of rotation: the unit starts rotating in
the sense that had been activated last (right-hand rotation on a
new unit); the sense of rotation changes regularly every 30 min.
The button light flashes.
Both speed and sense of rotation can be changed by hand
while the automatic change of sense of rotation is activated.
The 30 min change cycle continues.
