II. REMARKS ON DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING

It is highly recommended that the exclusive movement holder (S-680) be used to disassemble or
reassemble the watch.
Use of other movement holders may make unreliable the screw pins (the gold part) of the main plate.
Be careful not to press the main plate too hard when screwing or unscrewing the pins.
To prevent deformation of the main plate, never use the movement holder which is designed to hold
the movement with only two side guides.

It is highly recommended that the exclusive tool (S-912) be used for removing or
installing the battery, resetting the built-in IC or inputting the calendar data.
Contact SEIKO SERVICE CENTER to purchase this exclusive tool.

S-912

◆ How to remove the battery

1. Insert the tip of the tweezers into the gap between the battery and the circuit block cover at the insertion
point 1 in the illustrations below to gently lift up the battery.
2. Insert the tip of the tweezers into the gap between the battery and the circuit block cover at the insertion
point 2 in the illustrations below to gently lift up the battery.
3. Remove the battery with due care not to damage the coil.

The illustrations below show the new battery installed. (The battery is a new model with the new white
battery insulator.) (In a case where the red insulator is installed, insert the tweezers between the red insulator
and the circuit block cover in the order of the numbers illustrated below.) Take care not to insert the tweezers
too deep into the gap as this may damage the coil.

Ex.: July 12, 2002

Pull out the crown to the first click, then immediately push it back to its original position. Gently support the
battery with fingers to securely hold the movement.
Each calendar data item will be shown in the following order.

Year The number of times that the second hand moves in five-second
intervals indicates the number of the year which has passed since
the last leap year.

Ex. Year 2002:

The year number 2 ; the second hand moves twice in five-second
intervals.

Month Ex.: July The current month will be displayed for a while in the calendar
frame.

Date Ex.: 12th. Subsequently the current date will be displayed in the calendar
frame.

If all the data items are correct, proceed to the time setting.
When setting the time, make sure that AM/PM is properly set.

Note
This watch does not feature an Automatic Calendar Function.
Date is interlocked to the movement of the hands.
Be certain that AM/PM is properly set when setting the time to prevent the wrong date from appearing.

Note The date driving contact spring and the 24-hour contact point spring contact with the circuit block to
drive and control the ultrasonic motor. Failure of this electric contact will cause a malfunction of the
ultrasonic motor or defective calendar display. To guard against this problem, carefully handle the
contact point springs not to bend or straighten them.
To prevent a problem caused by deformation of the springs, it is recommended that the springs be
replaced with new ones at the time of disassembling or reassembling.

III. VALUE CHECKING

● Coil block resistance

3.6 KW ~ 4.0 KW

Measuring the coil block resistance

1. Measure the resistance with the coil block installed on the main plate.
2. Apply the red and black probes of the tester to the patterns of the coil lead terminal. While doing so,
take care not to touch the end portion of the coil lead terminal, as this will break the coil wire.

Coil board pattern

● Current consumption
For the whole movement : Less than 1.3 mA (with voltage of 3.0 V supplied from a battery)
For the circuit block alone : Less than 0.9 mA (with voltage of 3.0 V supplied from a battery)

Measuring the current consumption for the whole movement

1. Check that the crown is in the normal (pushed in) position.

Black probe

Red probe

2. Apply the red and black probes of the tester to the circuit block cover and the pattern of the (–) terminal
of the circuit block, respectively.
3. After connecting the tester, contact the “AC” terminal of the circuit block and the circuit block cover
with conductive tweezers. Then, after approximately 20 seconds, start measurement, checking that
a stable measurement is obtained.

Measuring the current consumption for the circuit block alone

1. Connect the tester to the input terminals (+) and (–), and contact the “AC” and (+) terminals with
conductive tweezers. Then, after approximately 10 seconds, start the measurement, checking that
a stable measurement is obtained.
* While measuring current consumption, be sure to protect the circuit block from light with black
cloth or the like, as the light may increase the current consumption, resulting in an inaccurate
measurement.

Note When the current consumption for the whole movement exceeds the standard value while the
current consumption for the circuit block alone is within the standard value range, a driving pulse
may be generated to compensate for the heavy load applied on the gear train, etc. In that case,
overhaul and clean the movement parts, and then, measure the current consumption for the
whole movement again.
