Microphone MP86M for mechanical watches
The MP86M is a active microphone equipped with a high sensitiv cristal
and electronic components
and
electronic
components
.
Connect the microphonecable to the 15 pin male plug on the rear of the B 600.
See also page x
The watchcase or the crown must touch correctly
the activ front pins.
This pins, or so called fork , transmitts the
watch sound
(
noise
)
to the cristal inside the
()
microphone.
The cristal converts the noise in electrical signals.
Through the built in electronic and the cable,
the signals reaches the B 600.
The signals are converted in digital values and
in a diagramm.
Clamp - microphone for pocket-watches and clocks.
The clamp-microphone may be connected to the 15 pin male plug on the rear of the B 600
instead of the MP86M.
Light barrier for clocks.
The light barrier may be connected to the 15 pin male plug on the rear of the B 600

The value of lift angle depends on
the construction of the watch. It is used
in the B 600 to calculate the amplitude.
Most watches have a lift angle of 50°-52°.
It can be set from 30° up to 70°.
If the value of lift angle is set lower than
the value of the measured watch, the
result of amplitude will be lower than

2.0 CALCULATION OF AMPLITUDE
B 600 - CALCULATION OF AMPLITUDE
A B C
The Amplitude depends on the following :
1. Beat per hour of the watch
2. Lift angle in degrees
3. Time between A and C in seconds
Terms :
t
Terms
:
Amp = Amplitude of balance wheel in °
= Lift angle in ° ( most watches have 52 ° )
t = Time between A and C ( in seconds )
t
Example :
lift angle = 52°
n = 28800 beats / h
n = Beat of the watch ( per hour )
Formula : Amp = (3600 * )
( t * pi * n ) (3600 * 52 ) = 187200
(0.009 * 3.14 * 28800) = 813.89
Amplitude
=
230
°
t = 0.009 s
Amplitude
230
Remark : The value of the time ( t ) depends on the mechanical datas
of escapment from the watch. This value is always measured
by the B 600 and the amplitude is calculated.
As you may see in the calculation example, this value is directly
responsible for the result of amplitude.
Conclusion : The B 600 can calculate and display the amplitude of a watch
very exact and stable if the escapment noise is clear and stable
