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.

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

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.

Testing quartz watches with „QM06“
Put the watch between the slider and
the pins (fork) of the microphone “QM06”.
Press button “Auto QM06 only” to start
automatic measurement of the motor
impulses.
For manual measurement of the quartz
frequency or motor impulses, press first
button “More” then button “P7” or “P8”.
QM06
The pins (fork) receive acoustically the 32 kHz frequency of the quartz if
the vibrations are sufficiently transmitted to the watchcase. The motor
impulses are measured by an inductive receiver inside the microphone.
“P7” o “P8”
Press button “EM06” for measuring:
rate of the quartz watch, consumption of
electricity (operational current, quiescent
current), ohms of the stepper motor and
the voltage of the battery.
