Why Does a Silent Continuous Sweep Quartz Clock Deplete the Battery So Fast?

The construction of a silent continuous sweep motion quartz clock is almost exactly the same as a regular "ticking" quartz clock. The only difference is in the frequency of Voltage supplied to the coil of the Lavet motor and the corresponding mechanical gear ratio.

Could you short the thermocouple terminals with a piece of wire and see if the beeping continues on? In my controller the alarm can go on only in two situations: under temp. and over temp. But only when I set the alarm to go on, like at 3:22

Tried to use it a few days ago and noticed the heating element died and I can’t find a replacement. Was considering the $360 FR-301 or take my chances with a $100 S-993A from Amazon. As I checked out the S-993A desoldering pump, I noticed the heating element looked quite similar to the Hakko but it had 4 wires. Was gonna give up on the 25 yo Hakko and put it to rest until I saw your video. Liked!!! Faved!!! Saved!!! Commented!!! and Subscribed!!!

      @@tektech1065 Thanks for the reply. Let me begin with a short synopsis... (not sure what happened but I replied earlier but it never posted) After noticing it wasnt heating up, I checked the element... no continuity, then plugged it in to check voltage to the heater w meter, none. I was assuming it was the rectifier/thyristor, AC03D or bad component on circuit board. At that point, I was contemplating the Hakko's last rites. Did a little more research on youtube and found this video first by KB1UIF which describes the circuit (I sold my scope a few years ago): ua-cam.com/video/eniR4AkUo_c/v-deo.htmlsi=0PSvSLjVWcmeR3L1 Then I saw your video which confirmed the 993 element was a close fit (and omit the other 2 wires) and ordered the element and tips from Aliexpress. You mentioned about the temp runout sans thermocoupler... In the Hakko manual, it describes how to calibrate the iron with the two potentiometers. KB1UIF confirms the circuitry pulses the current to the element to control temps. When I receive the element, I'm going to try it out to see if it works. I will definitely be making a youtube video on this endeavor, and will give credit to both you and KB1UIF. If you can retrofit the thermocoupler into the Hakko, I will most likely do the same if this doesn't work and just keep it on the bench. Delivery of the element is going to be in a week or so. I will definitely keep you updated. Thanks once again. *** Forgot to also mention*** Was trying to figure out which connectors they used on the element so I didnt have to cut the orig off... I have a JST SM 2.54 female crimp that will accept the short male round pin (which I thought was molex but not).

    The one I have looks different. It's the 7 outlet that they have on their website so I'm thinking it is newer. Still suffers from the same issue unfortunately. I had my PC as the control outlet and I typically leave it's power supply on. I heard the clicking for a few days now, but I didn't realize what was happening until I actually saw my peripherals turn on and off. I'm hoping they aren't permanently damaged. I think they should not advertise TV/PC as a primary use case given this issue. And that was the use case they gave me at habitat for humanity. They should warn that switch mode power supplies are not ideal as a control.

    Those are convenient, but I always use a good multimeter. Fluke is too expensive, unless you're an electrician or run a tech repair business. You could also retrofit any battery housing into a battery tester by using a cheap voltmeter or multimeter and have leads connected to housing output terminals/wires. All in all, I think that the BT189 unit is more user friendly and convenient because it tells inexperienced people where to slot the battery they want to test.

    Got one silent sage quartz wall clock from my friend as wedding gift. Worked fine for 5 years with me replacing the battery twice or thrice. Finally 6 months back it was not working and I removed all the gears and put them back. It worked for few days to a week and then suddenly stopped. I even changed the battery but it refuses to work properly. I was thinking of just replacing the mechanism. What are your thoughts on this ?

    • @tektech1065
      @tektech1065 Місяць тому

      The battery connects to the printed circuit board via two steel springs which press against the board. You may try to take it apart again and clean the two contact pads on the board with Q-tip and Deoxit or rubbing alcohol. Look for signs of oxidation on the surface of the contact points - it's a common thing in quartz clocks. A more permanent fix would be an advanced "brain surgery" on the clock: tightly wind a piece of thin magnet wire around each spring and solder its end to the board. I showed it briefly in this video: ua-cam.com/video/VGN-xoHSqTA/v-deo.html You could also just replace the mechanism but then the original hands may or may not fit. Good luck!

The current limiting 160 Ohm resistor in series can be connected to either one of the two wires. I found that the 5V regulator was the easiest component to tap power for the LED. And, of course, I needed another soldering iron to make those solder connections directly to the pins of that regulator.

      Good question about the 0.5, or 1/2 Hz. The coil of the Lavet motor gets square wave AC like this: ⎍⎍⎍⎍. Every rise is one step of the motor equal to 1 second, and every fall is the next 1 second step. Therefore one full square wave cycle lasts 2 seconds = 0.5 Hz. That's the nature of the Lavet stepping motor - simple and genius. If the clock had a digital display HH:MM:SS then 1 Hz would be perfect to drive it.

    Was it really worth the bother? I mean who expects to use some included low quality carbon zinc batteries for long? I assume they are old to begin with and only use them to not let them go to waste, but then I readily switch to using alkaline or low self discharge NiMH, and in the case of the NiMH, then what I wonder, and wish you had mentioned in your video, is what is the minimum voltage this T600 will tolerate, since the nominal voltage of NiMH is only 1.2V and I have often seen in the past with cheap chinese products that run off 2 x AAA or AA, that they tend to not be able to fully drain the cells before they quit working, so in the case of 2 x AAA, if it quits working before this series of 2 drops all the way to 2.0V, it wasted some of the capacity. Typically what I find with the poorly designed products using too few cells is they start to malfunction around 1.3V per cell, and while that is tolerable with low drain devices that I seldom use, otherwise that is annoying when using NiMH. Instead of throwing switches into things which won't solve that, I am instead considering finding some little 3V solar panels and just epoxy those onto devices, wired direct to the NiMH batteries. Granted, then I have to store the devices where they are exposed to light a good % of the time, so not a perfect solution. I wish more of them used 1 x 18650 cell instead. Even though that seems like a large battery for a device like this, it wouldn't necessarily contribute that much to a larger handle beyond what is comfortable to hold, and they are so ubiquitous in laptops and power tool batteries, that I could harvest some and not care if they have only a fraction of their original capacity remaining, then if I'm ambitious, just throw a USB charge/BMS circuit in with it. It all seems like a lot of work for what as stated above, only costs about $4 on Aliexpress since I do have ample LSD, AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries.

      This mod was intended for infrequent, occasional use of the tester and a safe long-term storage without the need to pull out the batteries or worry about self-dicharge. Carbon zinc batteries are not necessarily "low quality." They are preferred for low power equipment. For higher Amps you'd need alkaline. Some major brands (Maxell, Panasonic) keep manufacturing carbon zinc as well as alkaline batteries. In my experience, carbon zinc batteries don't leak as often and as badly as alkaline if forgotten and left for a longer time in remotes, etc. Rechargeable NiMH or lithium usually don't leak at all, when compared to alkaline. In this case, AAA NiMH rechargeables would work but they cost extra and self-discharge over time if you forget to keep recharging.

    • @stinkycheese804
      @stinkycheese804 Місяць тому

      @@tektech1065 Nope, carbon zinc are low quality. They are cheaper to make and have less capacity, are only included for those two reasons. No "good" equipment includes carbon zinc instead of alkaline or rechargeables but if rechargeables then generally integrate a charging circuit. There is no harm posed by storing this with NiMH batteries which are so rare to leak that it is extremely uncommon from major brand cells. However I do recognize the problem with a device that has parasitic draw when it shouldn't in the most off state the user can set without removing the batteries. It is senseless that they would design it like that, merely to avoid a 2nd switch to latch on the power when the trigger or another button was pressed.

      Power transformers in vintage equipment sometimes emit odd smells. I think it comes from baked enamel in production of the transformer. Usually, if there's no excessive heat or smoke, it's nothing to worry about. Squealing could come from dried out electrolytic capacitor somewhere on the boards. You could narrow it down by testing it with radio, CD, and Aux. If the squeal never stops, then look around the output amp. That's all I can suggest.

    Hey man, I have almost the same receiver but it's AVR 130. It's got the same problem which is no display but even when the led turns blue it's giving no display. I tried measuring the transformer and it gives 3.6ohms. I tried looking at other areas too like the linear regulator on the front panel, I can't tell the markings on it because it's too small and quite faded but when I measured the supposedly in and out pin it gives 3V on each. Which I think is weird because why does it even need a linear regulator if it's gonna give the same volts anyway. And not far from that there is a diode that doesn't give any forward voltage and beeps when in reverse, tried swapping that out but still the receiver gives no display. Any tips you can give? I'm in a dead end right now and don't know where to look anymore.

    • @tektech1065
      @tektech1065 2 місяці тому

      3.6 Ohms means good transformer. Get Service Manual for AVR130 (just google it. It's free to download), then you will be able to get the schematic and trace the correct Voltages. Also look up UA-cam for AVR130 (or similar) repairs and you might be lucky to find the exact fix you need. Good luck!

      The two MOSFETs and the 0.056 Ohm SMD resistor seem to be common failure in these amps. It could be the two little fans to blame for overheating, when they age and start to slow down. I ordered new fans and will be replacing them You should be able to get the parts from Digikey UK or from ebay, but Digikey is the reputable source. The original STP14NF12FP MOSFETs are now obsolete, so I used the new substitute suggested by DigiKey that works perfect: STF20NF20 - DigiKey part nr. 497-5811-5-ND Resistor 0.056 Ohm 1W part nr. 311-0.056TCT-ND If you also want new fans, these are: DigiKey part nr. 259-MF50101V3-1000U-A99-ND and DigiKey part nr. 259-1796-ND Desoldering the old parts can be a challenge if you don't have a good solder pump. I damaged one thru-hole and had to make a wire bridge. I left the bad resistor in place and piggy-backed the new one on top of the old. My repair of the fried module went v. well. I will post a new video of it in the next few days.

      I don't think they need to be oiled or greased. I've seen one (a different brand) with the kneading paddle bearing seized that required re-greasing with h. temp. grease. But, in my personal opinion, if it works - don't fix it.

    how to bypass the relay to keep all outlets in on?

    • @tektech1065
      @tektech1065 4 місяці тому

      The easy way: just bridge (solder) the two output contacts of the relay. The downside is that the circuit is still going to consume (waste) about 3 Watts of power whenever the strip is plugged in. A better way is to gut out the "advanced" part and solder wire bridges across the outlets. But this is something to do for an electrician in order to avoid any risks of fire or electric shock. Any electrician would know what to do and how to do it. Good luck!

    • @tektech1065
      @tektech1065 5 місяців тому

      For power sensing use (as intended and designed by the manufacturer) you have to use a simple appliance (heater etc.) plugged in the control outlet. Best way is to test its work with different appliances. But, if you want to use it as a regular 7-outlet strip, you have to open it up and bypass (solder a wire bridge) the switching circuitry. For safety reasons: that would be something to do for an electrician.
