Notes:
* When removing or installing the solar cell unit, take care not to damage the solar cell.
* If the solar cell is damaged, its power generating capacity may be greatly decreased. In that case,
check the output voltage for the solar cell unit, following the procedure in the corresponding section
of this guide. If the voltage is not normal, replace the solar cell unit with a new one.
* If the solar cell is soiled, gently wipe it with a soft chamois or the like soaked with alcohol, taking care
not to damage it.
•How to remove
Remove the two circuit block cover screws,
and then, release the two hooking portions
marked with the arrows in the illustration at
right from the main plate.
•How to install
Set the circuit block cover so that the two
hooking portions marked with the arrows in
the illustration at right catch the main plate
securely, and then, tighten the circuit block
cover screws.

III. VALUE CHECKING
●Coil block resistance
1.2 KΩ~ 1.6 KΩ
●Current consumption
For the whole movement : Less than 0.22 µA (with voltage supplied from a battery)
For the circuit block alone : Less than 0.16 µA (with voltage supplied from a battery)
1. Remove the solar cell unit.
2. Remove the rechargeable battery unit, and then, reassemble the circuit block, circuit block cover and
two circuit block cover screws.
(As a result, only the rechargeable battery is removed from the movement.)
3. Apply the probes of the tester as shown in the illustration on the next page.
How to measure the current consumption for the whole movement
Note: When applying the minus probe of the tester, take care not to short-circuit the minus probe
and circuit block cover.
4. After checking that a stable measurement is obtained with the tester connected, read the current
consumption.
(As the hands move at 20-second intervals, 3 to 5 minutes may be required before a stable
measurement is obtained.)

TECHNICAL GUIDE Cal. V110A
Note: If the measurement value remains high or unstable, shut out the light from the movement, and
make a measurement again.
+
1. Apply the probes of the tester as shown in the illustration.
2. Shut out the light from the circuit block.
How to measure the current consumption for the circuit block alone
Note: If the circuit block is exposed to light, an extremely high measurement value may be obtained.
3. After checking that a stable measurement is obtained with the tester connected, read the current
consumption.

●Output voltage for the solar cell unit
Output voltage when the watch is placed at a distance
of 5 cm under a fluorescent light of 15 to 20 watts : More than 2.3 V
1. Connect the tester to the output terminal of the
solar cell unit as shown in the illustration at
right.

2. With the probes of the tester applied, place the
solar cell unit at a distance of 5 cm under a
fluorescent light of 15 to 20 watts, exposing the
solar cell side to the light, and then measure the
output voltage.

●Checking the recharging function
A conventional method of checking the recharging function is to check the difference of the rechargeable
battery voltage between before and after a recharge.
1. Apply the probes of the tester as shown in the
illustration at right to measure the voltage of
therechargeable batterybeforerecharge (initial
voltage).
Checking procedure
+
2. Place the watch at a distance of 5 cm under a
fluorescent light of 15 to 20 watts, and charge it
for 30 minutes.
Notes:
* Use a fluorescent light to charge the watch,
as light sources generating heat may cause
damage to the watch. To charge the watch
efficiently, place it under the center of the
fluorescent tube.
* While charging the watch, make sure that the
watch temperature does not exceed 60°C.
3. After recharging for 30 minutes, apply the
probes of the tester in the same manner as in
step “1” above, and measure the rechargeable
battery voltage while keeping the watch
exposed to the light.

4. Refer to the table below to determine whether the recharging function is normal or not.
[ Initial voltage and guidelines of normal/defective decision ]
Initial voltage Guidelines of normal/defective decision
The battery is normal if the rechargeable battery voltage obtained after
recharge is more than 1.2 V.
0.5 V ~ 1.00 V
The battery is normal if the rechargeable battery voltage has increased more
than 0.08 V after recharge.
1.01 V ~ 1.2 V

Caution for charging:
To prevent damage to the watch caused by heat from a light source, make sure that the watch temperature
does not exceed 60°C while charging the watch.
★1: The time required to charge 1-day of power after all the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is totally
depleted.
★2: The time required to additionally charge 1-day of power while the watch is in use.
* The above table provides only a general guideline, and actual charging time may differ from model to model.
