¡ Never rotate the Range switch with the test leads connected to the equipment under test. ¡ Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to your local KYORITSU distributor for repair or re-calibration in case of suspected faulty operation.
2.Features MODEL3321A/ 3322A/ 3323A are three-range insulation resistance testers for testing low-voltage installation below 600V. ¡ Designed to following safety standards: IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-031, IEC 61557 ¡ Small and light weight. ¡ Auto-discharge function When insulation resistance like a capacitive load is measured, electric charges stored in capacitive circuits are automatically discharged after measuring.

5.Preparation for measurement 5−1 Mechanical zero adjustment With the Range switch set to the OFF position and without pressing the Test button, turn the Zero adjuster with a screwdriver so that the pointer lines up with the "∞" mark on an insulation resistance scale.
5−3 Battery voltage check (1) Set the Range switch to the BATT. CHECK position. (2) Press the Test button or Remote control switch. (3) If the meter pointer does not move to BATT GOOD, replace the batteries as shown in Section 7 "Battery replacement". Batteries have exhausted.
CAUTION Never press CAUTION remote switcth Never press test button AC voltage measurement (Mains disconnection check) The AC voltage measurement function is available on any ranges. DANGER ¡ Never make measurement on a circuit in which the electrical potential exceeds AC/DC600V in order to avoid possible shock hazard.
6−2 Insulation resistance measurement Before performing any insulation test, check the maximum voltage that may be applied to the circuit under test. Note: ¡ Some circuits have an unstable insulation resistance, which causes the reading to vary during measurement. ¡ The instrument may generate a high pitch tone during measurement.

(2) Connect Earth probe to the earth terminal of the circuit under test. If the circuit is not earthed, connect Earth probe to any appropriate conductor. (3) Connect Line probe to the circuit under test and press the Test button or Remote control switch. (4) Take the reading on the scale for the selected insulation resistance range.
<Auto discharge function> This function allows electric charges stored in the capacitance of the circuit under test to be automatically discharged after testing.Discharge can be monitored by the AC voltage reading. (6) Set the Range switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the probes from the instrument.

6−5 Using Guard Terminal (only for MODEL3321A) Shown below is an example of the insulation resistance measurement of an electric wire. If Line probe is simply connected to the wire conductor and Earth probe to the woven metal shield as shown, a measurement error will be introduced as this results in the measurement of the combined resistance of insulation resistance and the surface leakage resistance at the cut end of the electric wire.
7.Battery replacement DANGER Never open the Battery cover during a measurement. WARNING To avoid possible electric shock, remove test leads before opening the Battery cover. After replacing batteries, be sure to tighten up the screws for Battery cover. CAUTION Do not mix new and old batteries. Install batteries in correct polarity as marked inside the Battery compartment.
8.Notes on Housing case and accessories 8−1 Case lid Case lid can be fit under the Housing case while making measurement. (1) Unhook and open the Case lid. (2) Turn it 180 degrees. (3) Put the Case lid under the Housing case. (4) Hook it on to the Housing case.
8−3 Test prods and replacement 1. Types of Test prods MODEL8072:Standard Test prod Used for ordinary measurement. (Attached to the Line probe at the time of purchase.) MODEL8017:Extension probe Used in difficult-to-reach situations. MODEL8016:Pickle prod (Optional) Used to hook the probe on a conductor. 2.
8−4 Adaptors for the Earth cord and replacement 1. Adaptors MODEL7131:Safety alligator clip Connected to the Earth terminal of the Earth terminal board. MODEL7101:Flat test bar Connected to the earth side of the outlet. 2. How to replace Adaptors To remove the adaptors, pull them out. Then firmly attach the adaptor as desired to the tip of the Earth cord.
8−5 Cleaning Meter cover This instrument is managed by our company's quality standard and is delivered in the best condition after passed the inspection. But in the dry time of winter static electricity sometimes builds up on the meter cover due to the characteristic of plastic.
