product by the user.
The Model 320110 is a handy and widely usable circuit tester
designed with high reliability for the measurements of DC/AC
currents, DC/AC voltages, DC resistances, etc. Through these
measurements, a variety of electronic and electrical equipment are
readily adjusted, tested, or maintained.
<Features>
(1) Employment of taut band suspension for the tester permits high
sensitivity, reproducibility of indications, and long duration; yet
its mechanism is rugged against vibration or shock, and has no
friction.
(2) The tester features high input impedance. The internal resistance
of the voltage circuit is as high as 100 kΩ/V at DC, or 10 kΩ/V
at AC, which is higher than that of any other conventional circuit
testers as a tester without amplier. It can also be used as an
electronic voltmeter.
(3) Results of the measurement with 320110 are highly accurate,
with ±2% for DC or ±3% for AC. The scale has a built-in mirror (105
millimeter in scale length) to eliminate parallax in reading.
(4) A solid state overcurrent protective circuit is provided with the
tester so as not to burn the coil due to overcurrent, nor bend the
pointer arm.
(5) The measuring range select switch determines the duration of life
of the instrument. It employs a printed wiring switch which has
low contact resistance and substantial stability and durability in
both mechanical and electrical aspects.
(6) A convenient polarity select switch is provided for DC
measurements.
(7) The instrument requires only one piece of R20P (SUM-1). Battery
replacement is easily conducted.
(8) Shock-resistance plastic (ABS resin) is used for the case of the
tester. It is compact, light, and convenient to carry about.

3. Operation
CAUTION
Make sure to read and observe all the following cautions before
starting measurement to ensure safety.
3.1 Instruction for Use
1. Make sure prior to measurement that the pointer rests at the
zero position of the scale. If not, turn the zero adjust screw to
set it to zero. Look at the scale so that you can see the pointer
is accurately aligned with the pointer reected on the mirror, and
then read the value.
2. When the measuring value is unknown, start measurement with
the maximum range provided and then continue to lower range
until proper range is obtained. Do not select the switch while the pointer is still deecting.
3. Do not place the tester in strong magnetic fields or on steel
plates to avoid possible pointing errors.
4. When storing or carrying the tester, turn off the measuring range
select switch and set the polarity select switch to its center
position to avoid any possible damage.
Checking Fuse
Make sure prior to measurement that the fuse is not burned
out.
<Checking Method> Set the measuring range select switch to
“Ω” range. The fuse operates normally
if the pointer points at zero Ω when
shorting the V.A.Ω terminal.
The pointer does not deflect when the fuse is burned out.
At the start of measurement, always be sure to check it.
Never use the instrument when the fuse is burned out
to avoid electrification. It happens when the instrument
falsely recognizes voltage-applied measured objects as being
inactive.
Checking Measurement Range
· Make sure that the measuring range select switch is
set properly and that the measurement leads and the
measurement (input) terminal are connected appropriately.
Measuring high voltages erroneously while the range is
in “DC mA” may cause personnel injury or damage to the
instrument.
· Prior to turning on/off the measuring range select switch,
disconnect the measurement leads from the measured object.
Installation Location
Be sure to place the instrument on a at stable surface in a
stable environment.
The measurement leads may get disconnected from
the measurement terminals due to overturn or fall of the
instrument. If it happens, there is a possibility of electrical
shock especially when a high voltage is measured.

There is a risk of damaging the instrument.
If a voltage is erroneously applied while the range is in “DC mA”,
the shunt resistor of the tester will be burned out.
1. Connect the red lead to the
the
terminal.
2. Set the polarity select switch to the
terminal and the black lead to
position.
3. Set the measuring range select switch to a desired position on
the “DC mA” range. Check polarity and connect the tip end of the
lead probes in series to the circuit to be measured. Then, read
out the indication on the [DC] scale.
4. If the pointer deects inversely, change over the polarity select
switch to the
side. Thus, current can be measured without
changing the lead connections.
3.3 DC Voltage Measurement
1. Leads connections and the polarity select switch positioning
are the same as in the case of the DC current measurement
described above.
2. Set the measuring range select switch to a desired position on
the “DC V” range. Check polarity and connect the tip end of the
lead probes in parallel to the circuit to be measured. Then, read
out the indication on the [DC] scale.
3. If the pointer deects inversely, change over the polarity select
switch to the
side.
3.4 AC Voltage Measurement (AC.V)
1. Connect the red lead to the
the
terminal.
2. Set the polarity select switch to the
terminal and the black lead to
position.
3. Set the measuring range select switch to a desired position on
the “AC V” range. Then, read out the indication on the [AC] scale.
4. This voltmeter of the tester is a rectifier type meter in which
germanium diodes are incorporated with the moving coil type
meter, and the scale is calibrated in term of RMS value of
pure sine wave alternating current. For this reason, note that
application of nonsinusoidal AC will cause errors in indication.

circuit. This arrangement prevents indication errors caused by
the stray capacitance between the tester and the ground.
(Refer to Fig 3.1 Frequency Characteristics in which an
example of the frequency characteristics is shown.)
6. When measuring AC voltage in the circuit where a DC component
is included, connect the leads respectively to the
and
terminal. For further procedures, follow instructions

internally provided in series so that the DC component is
impeded and only the AC voltage is indicated.
8. In case of low frequency, voltage drop across the capacitor
causes an error in indication. This error depends upon the
measuring range. (Refer to Fig. 3.2 Frequency Characteristics when OUTPUT Terminal is Used)

3.6 Resistance Measurement
There is a risk of electrication or damaging the
instrument.
· Prior to measuring the resistance in the circuit of equipment,
the power source to the equipment must be disconnected.
· For the measurement of a circuit which includes capacitors,
the charged electricity must be discharged from the capacitor.
Note that the external voltage may burn the resistors of the
tester.

× 100 Ω range approximately 1.5 mA
× 10 kΩ range approximately 15 μA
6. For checking quality of capacitors, use the × 10 kΩ range.
A good capacitor is charged by the battery voltage of the tester,
to cause a deection of the pointer. The pointer is then returned
gradually to the “∞” position. This phenomenon appears more
markedly as greater the capacity of a capacitor becomes.
Degraded capacitors will not deflect the pointer. And shorted
capacitors will not return the pointer in the “∞” direction. These
are defective capacitors.
7. In case of resistance measurement, polarity of the self-contained
battery is positive at the
terminal, and negative at the
terminal.
Take this relation into consideration when diodes or transistors
are to be tested.
3.7 Checking Battery Amount and Battery Replacement
<Checking the Remaining Amount of Battery>
The condition where the pointer does not come to zero even
when the zero ohm adjust knob is turned clockwise to the
extreme position is to indicate that the built-in battery is worn out.
Replace the battery (R20P, 1.5 V, one piece).
<Battery Replacement>
· Before starting the replacement of the battery, disconnect
the instrument from the circuit to be measured to prevent an
electrical shock hazard.
· Check polarity before installing the battery properly.
To replace the battery, remove the screw of the center of the
bottom case. For battery installation, follow the indication of
polarity noted on the battery holder case.

5.1 Adjustment
In case of the accuracy of the tester becomes doubtful as the
result that an excessive load of shock is applied to the tester,
the tester must be tested using other calibrated instrument. If the
accuracy is observed to be over the specied value, the tester
must be readjusted.
In case the resistor is burnt, it must be replaced according to the
circuit diagram and parts list (in Section 3.8), and further, the
sensitivity of the tester must be adjusted in the following manner.
(1) Set the polarity select switch to
and the measuring
range select switch to the “DC 0.3 V” range.
Apply “DC 0.3 V” and turn the semifixed resistor VR
(as
1
indicated on the print board) so that the pointer may indicate the
full scale value correctly.
(2) Set the measuring range select switch to the “AC 120 V” range.
Apply “AC 120 V” and turn the semixed resistor VR
so that the
2
pointer may indicate the full scale value correctly.
Above procedures make a complete adjustment on the DC, AC, and
Ωcircuits.
There is a risk of electrical shock to persons.
· Prior to replacing the fuse, disconnect the instrument from the
circuit to be measured, if connected, to prevent an electrical
shock hazard.
· Do not operate the instrument when the case is left open.
· Use only the specied fuse.
In case the fuse has blown, remove the screw of the center of
the bottom case. Then, replace the blown fuse with a new one (of
specied rating) that is provided on the side surface of the case.
