Prodott Overview
The TMI VH83 is a 10½ ligne quartz watch movement designed for watches requiring a sweep second hand and multi-eye functions. It features a 24-hour indicator, date display, and a retrograde day hand. This movement is known for its smooth sweep second hand, mimicking the motion of a mechanical watch.
Setup u Installazzjoni
The TMI VH83 movement is intended for professional installation into compatible watch cases. Proper tools and expertise are required to avoid damage to the delicate components.
Passi Ewlenin tal-Installazzjoni:
- Prepare the Movement: Ensure the movement is clean and free of dust.
- Installa l-Batterija: Insert the recommended SR920SW battery into its designated slot. Refer to Figure 1 for battery placement.
- Install Crown Stem: Carefully insert the crown stem into the movement. The video below demonstrates the movement's interaction with the crown stem.
- Installa l-Idejn: Attach the hour, minute, sweep second, and sub-dial hands. Ensure proper alignment and clearance to prevent interference.
- Mount Movement: Secure the movement within the watch case using appropriate movement holders or screws.
Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The TMI VH83 movement features standard watch operation via the crown, along with multi-eye functions for day, date, and a 24-hour indicator.
Ħin u Data tal-issettjar:
- L-issettjar tal-ħin: Pull the crown out to the furthest position (Position 2). Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back to Position 0 when done.
- Issettjar tad-Data: Pull the crown out to the middle position (Position 1). Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Push the crown back to Position 0 when done.
- L-issettjar tal-ġurnata: The retrograde day hand is typically adjusted in conjunction with the date or by advancing the time past 24 hours. Refer to the specific watch case's crown functions for precise adjustment.
- Indikatur ta' 24 Siegħa: The 24-hour sub-dial hand is synchronized with the main hour hand and cannot be set independently.
Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your TMI VH83 movement.
Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija:
The TMI VH83 movement uses an SR920SW battery, which has an approximate life of 2 years. When the watch stops or the sweep second hand begins to skip seconds (indicating low power), the battery should be replaced by a qualified watch technician. Always use the specified battery type.
Kura Ġenerali:
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures outside the operating range of -5 °C to +50 °C.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of quartz movements. The movement is designed to be antimagnetic up to ≥1600 A/m.
- Ensure the crown is pushed in completely when not setting the time or date to maintain water resistance (if applicable to the watch case).
Issolvi l-problemi
If you encounter issues with your TMI VH83 movement, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
Ara Mhux Running:
- Iċċekkja l-batterija: The most common reason for a quartz watch to stop is a depleted battery. Replace the SR920SW battery.
- Pożizzjoni tal-Kuruna: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in (Position 0). If it's pulled out, the watch will not run.
Ħin/Data Mhux Korretti:
- Irrisettja l-Ħin/Data: Follow the operating instructions to correctly set the time and date.
- Interferenza manjetika: If the watch is consistently inaccurate, it may have been exposed to a strong magnetic field. Demagnetization by a professional may be required.
For persistent issues, professional inspection and repair are recommended.
