TECHNICAL GUIDE Cal. 4F32A, 8F32A, 8F33A, 8F35A III. VALUE CHECKING Coil block resistance 3.6 KΩ ~ 4.0 KΩ Measuring the coil block resistance Measure the resistance with the coil block installed on the main plate. Apply the red and black probes of the tester to the patterns of the coil lead terminal. While doing so, take care not to touch the end portion of the coil lead terminal, as this will break the coil wire.
