General Winders Questions

What material covers the watch rotators?

Eco-friendly pleather..

What is the warranty?

All rotators have a two-year warranty.

I wear my watch every day.  Why do I need a rotator?

Most mainsprings require 80% to 90% tension to be fully wound.  Normal activity only winds the mainspring 50%-60%.  The Wolf Designs rotator is designed to wind the mainspring up to 90%.  This keeps your watch accurate throughout the day.

How long will batteries last?

Between 4-6 months.

Will the batteries drain if the rotator is plugged in?

No, the batteries are not in use when plugged into an outlet.

How many hours does my rechargeable rotator need to be fully charged?

20 hours.

I am concerned that the rotator will magnetize my watch. Should I be concerned with a Wolf Designs rotator?

No, the motor has a shield that eliminates any magnetization. 

Can I travel with my rotator?

Yes, it is 110/220 volt.

I am concerned that the rotator will be noisy.  What makes a Wolf Designs rotator quiet?

Nylon gears

Why is my watch falling out of the rotator?

Note that a larger size cuff will hold your watch more securely in the rotator drum. For larger watches, use the X-large or XX-large cuffs to prevent the watch from falling out.

Why is there a 10-second start delay?

The watch must be inserted before the drum starts to rotate.

What is the rationale on the 12 hour start delay?

The rationale for the 12 hour start delay is to provide the ability for a watch which as been recently worn and consequently has a tensioned mainspring, the opportunity to release the stored energy within the mainspring.

What is the recommended setting, A (clockwise), B (counterclockwise), or C (Bi-directional)?

Almost all automatic watches will receive energy on setting C (Bi-directional), unless otherwise has been specified by your watch manufacturer.

I have a very heavy watch.  Will the rotator turn the full amount of rotations?

Yes, although the drum is spinning slower, the rotator has a "quartz eye" that counts the number of revolutions.

What size cuffs are available?

There is four cuff sizes available: small, standard, X-large and XX-large.

How do I put my watch on the watch cuff?

Select the correct size cuff for your watch. Note that a larger size cuff will hold your watch more securely in the rotator drum. To simplify placing your watch on the cuff, close the strap or bracelet of your watch, before you place your watch on the cuff. Compress the cuff, and slide your watch over the cuff. Place the cuff inside the watch drum with the watch facing outward.

The rotator is working properly but my watch is not keeping accurate time:

Try all settings for two days.  If the watch is not keeping time, you will need the 4.0 module. 
This allows for more rotations

What is the flashing green light?

It lets you know the unit is in sleep mode. This allows the mainspring to unwind.

Module 1.5

What is the start delay on the module 1.5?

10 seconds

What are the turns per day on the module 1.5?

600

What do settings A, B & C mean?

These are the rotation options – A is clockwise, B is counter clockwise, and C is bi-directional

What is the rotation program for the module 1.5?

The module 1.5 rotates for 6 hours (150 turns per cycle, 4 cycles per day) and has an 18 hour “sleep phase”. Rotates in either clockwise counterclockwise or bi-directional.

What do the different lights mean, green, red?

When your rotator is in perfect working order, a green light will flash intermittently from the control dial plate. If the light changes to red, this is indicative of batteries which are in need of replacement, or malfunction.

What are the power options for the module 1.5?

The module 1.5 can run on AC power or D-cell batteries.

Module 1.7

What is the start delay on the module 1.7?

10 seconds

What are the turns per day on the module 1.7?

600

What is the rotation program for the module 1.7?

The module 1.7 rotates for 6 hours (150 turns per cycle, 4 cycles per day) and has an 18 hour “sleep phase.”  The first and third cycles each rotates in clockwise direction. The second and fourth cycles each rotates in counterclockwise direction.

How is the module 1.7 powered?

The module 1.7 runs on a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

What do the different lights mean, green, orange, red?

When your rotator is in perfect working order, a green light will flash intermittently from the control dial plate. When the battery is charging an orange light will flash intermittently. If the light changes to red, this is indicative of batteries which are in need of recharge, or malfunction.

How long does a single battery charge last on for the module 1.7?

Once at maximum battery efficiency, a single charge can operate up to 4 months.

Module 2.0

What do settings A, B & C mean?

These are the rotation options – A is clockwise, B is counter clockwise, and C is bi-directional

What do settings Off, On & 12 mean?

Off turns all rotations off, On starts rotations after a 10 second start delay, and 12 starts rotations after a 12 hour start delay.

What are the turns per day on the module 2.0?

600

What is the rotation program for the module 2.0?

The module 2.0 rotates for 6 hours (150 turns per cycle, 4 cycles per day) and has an 18 hour “sleep phase”. Rotates in either clockwise counterclockwise or bi-directional.

What do the different lights mean, green, red?

When your rotator is in perfect working order, a green light will flash intermittently from the control dial plate. If the light changes to red, this is indicative of batteries which are in need of replacement, or malfunction.

What are the power options for the module 2.0?

The following model numbers can run on AC power or D-cell batteries:
4503 (single rotator with cover)
4501 (single rotator with cover & storage)
4500 (double rotator with cover & storage)
4543 (triple rotator with cover & storage)

The following model number run exclusively on AC power:
4577 (four piece rotator)
4578 (six piece rotator)
4579 (eight piece rotator)

Module 4.0

What are the functions of each button?

Button 1 – On/Off & Start Delay: To power on/off hold for 2 seconds.  Choose start delay option – on (10 second delay), 24 hour, or 72 hour.
Button 2 – Rotations: Choose number of turns per day – 300, 600 or 900.   Please note CONT should be used for retail display purposes only.
Button 3 – Direction:  Choose clockwise, counter clockwise, or bi-directional.
Button 4 - Start/Stop: Begin or end winder operation.

What is the rotation program for the module 4.0?

Mode 300: 300 turns per day - 75 turns per cycle, 4 cycles per day, 18 hour “sleep phase”.
Mode 600: 600 turns per day - 150 turns per day, 4 cycles per day, 18 hour “sleep phase”.

How is the 4.0 powered?

The module 4.0 runs on a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

What does LO BAT and Er mean?

Recharge the battery anytime the LO BAT is shown on the LCD indicator. There is a malfunction if the Er is shown on the LCD indicator. The rotator will not function if LO BAT or Er are shown in the LCD indicator. The rotator must be recharged before operation can be resumed.

How long does a single battery charge last on for the module 4.0?

Once at maximum battery efficiency, a single charge can operate up to 4 months.

How do I assemble a multiple module 4.0 rotator system?

You will need a sufficient number of module 4.0 rotators and several connectors.
