Turbo Tester for train wheels, Horotec
The Turbo Tester from Horotec is used for testing the mechanical side of quartz analog movements.
The tester can be used as a complement to your traditional watch battery tester as it tests the inside workings of your quartz watch movement and helps you determine if replacing your watch battery will actually fix the problem or if there is another issue with the movement.
- Operates with magnetic impulsion
- Jump starts train wheels
- Powered by 1 included 9 volt battery
To operate, lay the watch out face up on the tester so you can watch the hands move. You may have to adjust the watch's position on the tester until the pulse is directed at the right point inside the movement.
For the best result, let the Turbo Tester drive the train wheels for about two minutes. If the hands do not move smoothly around the watch dial while on the tester, there is another issue with the movement. When you remove the watch from the tester, the hands should continue to work at normal speed if the battery is good and the train wheels were the problem.
NB! You can only use this tester on electronic quartz movements, mechanical watches lack the parts to respond to the pulse.
