Timex 40 User Manual

the TIMEX Model 40 Movement
The Timex Model 40 is an 9% x 12% ligne electric watch movement . The
power to drive the movement is supplied by a miniature energy cell. Power
from the energy cell drives the balance. The balance drives the time train
which, in turn, rotates the hands.
The energy cell is guaranteed for 12 months and replacement cells are avail-
able from your local Timex dealer, repair station or the Timex Material Sales
Division.
It is important to use only genuine Timex Energy Cells, Type A. Other
types, although they look the same, may not deliver the necessary voltage or
life
and, in addition, may leak , ser i ously damaging the movement .
The hands are set in the normal method-tha t is, pulling out and rot ating
the crown. The Model 40 incorporates a device which stops the movement when
the crown is in the set position . In this position, the flow of current from the
energy cell is interrupted and the energy cell is not being discharged .
The Timex electric has an hourly beat of 21,600 . The large balance has a
temperature compensated hairspring and the rate can be adjusted in the usual
way by moving the regulator. The Timex electric can be checked in all positions
on a normal watch rate recorder.
The Timex electric can be dismantled and repaired with conventional tools. There
is no need for special knowledge of electricity or electronics, or any need for
complicated electrical measuring or inspection devices, new tools or microscopes.
For
checking the battery voltage, a high ohm volt meter (about 20,000 ohms
per volt), which is now in use in most repair stations, is sufficient .
Since
watch contains permanent magnets, no attempt should be made to
demagnetize the watch.
