3.4 Introduction
The SEM 100 is a self-setting movement with hour, minute and second hand. It is
synchronized and powered via MOBALine / DCF active signal. It can be used for outdoor and
indoor clocks with a diameter of up to 100 cm.
Properties:
•MOBALine / DCF active controlled with automatic time take-over and daylight-saving time
via connected MOBALine / DCF active master clock
•Signalization of the missing MOBALine time signal after 24 hours by setting the hands to
12 o'clock
•Signalization of the missing DCF active time signal after 7 days.
•Two motors: one for hour / minute hand and one for second hand
•Push-button for configuration: Can change the second mode, but may be overwritten by the
MOBALine signal.
•Running mode of the minute and second hand selectable via MOBALine signal (identical
for all clocks of the same clock line).
•Fully powered by MOBALine / DCF active.

4. Display and control elements
The display and control possibilities of the movement depend on the device version. It can be
determined from the article number printed onto the sticker on the rear side of the device (e.g.
A/N: 118171.01 or 118171.02). Differences between the versions are noted.

After 5 minutes without entry (button push), the movement automatically goes into
normal operation.
If the master clock dictates the minute resp. second hand mode, the manual mode
settings will be overwritten.

4.4 Clock ID / ID mode
With MOBALine operation, it is possible to assign an ID between 1 and 12 to each
clock. With this, the clock can be identified via NMS.
Using NMS, the clock can be set to ID mode. In this mode, the movement indicates the
clock’s current ID with the minute and (if available) second hand pointing at the
corresponding hour. The controls for setting the ID are identical to those used when
setting a hand mode.
The movement can only be returned to normal operation using NMS.
For the direct switch from no ID to ID 12 (one double click), the minute hand has to
complete one full rotation, which takes several seconds.

5. Mounting and start-up
5.1 Movement mounting
The dial must be adequately stable. The mounting drill
hole must have a diameter of 12.3 mm. The movement
must be mounted in a vertical position.
The position of the mounting parts is shown in fig. 1.
The disc nut (2*) M12 x 1 is to be carefully tightened with
a special wrench tool (Art. no. 36761) and a torque
wrench with a torque of 4.5 Nm +/- 0.2 Nm.
Attention:
After tightening of the disc nut (2*), the movement must
not be moved anymore!
5.2 Mounting of hands and start-up
5.2.1 Mounting of hands
The shafts of the hour, minute and second hand are
positioned ex-work on the 12 o'clock position. The hands are
to be fixed and tightened on the shafts without rotating the
shafts. Enough space must be provided between the hands.
See Fig. 2.
For the mounting of the hands, the movement should be
rested on a flat surface. The hands should be mounted
without using too much force. Excessive pressure on the axis
can damage the movement!
The 12 o'clock position must be checked on each movement
after mounting the hands (chap. 5.2.2).
5.2.2 Start-up and checking the hand position
•Connect time signal
•Hold down push-button for 5s (12 o'clock position)
Are the hands exactly on the 12 o'clock position?
•If the hand position is incorrect, carefully loosen the hand, adjust and then tighten
it again (shaft must not be rotated during this).
•If the hand position is correct, hold down the push-button for 5s again. The clock is
now ready for operation and sets itself.

5.3 Basic settings (Factory settings)
Basic settings:
Second hand: continuous with stop
Minute hand: step mode
5.4 Time-keeping
In case of loss of the MOBALine signal (only power supply without modulation
available) the movement keeps running for 24h on quartz base and afterwards runs to
the 12 o'clock position.
In case of loss of the DCF active signal (only power supply available) the clock keeps
running for 7 days on quartz base and afterwards runs to the 12 o'clock position.
