B) ACCURATE TESTS WITH OPENED WATCH CASE
HOROTEC Flashtest has also capabilities to perform accurate tests with opened watch case as follows :
©
• real battery status
• consumption of the electronic circuit
• consumption of the movement
• continuity of the coil.
Tests performed with opened watch, are necessary to get precise information on the real status of vital components.
C) ANALOGUE QUARTZ ACCURACY TEST WITH CLOSED WATCH CASE
HOROTEC Flashtest has capability to perform precise accuracy test of analogue quartz watches (See : below).

THE BUTTONS
ON
• ON : Press once to switch the device ON.
• TURBO : Press continuously for TURBO testing or unjamming the mechanical parts.
• MUTE : Press once to switch ON or OFF the "beep" signal during the measurement.
• SIMUL : Simulates the real working conditions of the watch battery, as the watch components act as a LOAD.
So we get information of the real battery power reserve.
MENU/OFF
• OFF : Press until the device is switched OFF.
• MENU : Press the menu button to select the desired function as follows :
o BATT V
o IC 1.5V/µA activates 1.5V power supply for measuring consumption in µA
o IC 3,0V/µA activates 3,0V power supply for measuring consumption in µA
o COIL/k
Ω
o Accuracy+/- measures the accuracy of the analogue quartz watches.
THE WATCH BATTERY TESTER ZONE
The watch battery tester zone is designed especially for the tests of batteries. In case of this measurement, it is not necessary
to adjust the BATT menu because the HOROTEC
the battery. The measurement can be carried out according to the following :
UNLOADED BATTERY :
Place down the positive (+) side of the battery on the metal plate, so the negative (-) side of the battery will be
upwards. Take the black, negative (-) probe and touch to the negative (-) side of the battery. Read the measured
unloaded value on the LCD display.
LOADED BATTERY :
Hold the ON/TURBO button pressed to simulate the resistance of the various watch components. Read the measured
loaded value on the LCD display.
Attention : Limit the duration of loaded battery test to avoid watch battery discharge, especially for «low drain» or small
size batteries. Avoid touching the battery with bare fingers! The perspiration is a natural thing and touching
a battery forms a slim layer that will generate oxide after some months.

measures the unloaded battery voltage in V
measures the coil resistance in k
Flashtest automatically recognizes the BATT function and starts to test
