Option 401: Handheld Single Probe Leads

Option "401" is a 620 series compatible  handheld 
probe (one black probe & one red probe ) lead set 
terminated in 

single points

.  The OP401 handheld 

probes allow for easy access to connector socket 
wiring (i.e. drone parachute squib sockets), recessed 
surfaces, and parts (i.e. flares) that alligator clip 
leads simply would not work well with.      

Option “500” Optically Isolated Analog Output 

Option “600” Optically Isolated Binary Coded 
Decimal (BCD) Data Output 

New Options and Custom Leads Available

Contact the sales department at AMPTEC 
RESEARCH (phone 1-800-350-5105) if you have 
need for 

GPIB

, a special probe, adapter, lead set, or 

custom option not listed in this manual. AMPTEC’S 
experienced application engineers have helped sup-
ply many customers with special igniter tester acces-
sory requirements.  

This rear panel mounted isolated analog DC Voltage 
output signal is directly proportional to the 620 
tester's ohm display measurement. (i.e. 1.2345 VDC 
for 12.345 ohms). It is used to track 620 tester mea-
surements for datalogging purposes with an external 
device (i.e chart recorder, system DMM with GPIB). 
Isolation protection is rated @2000 volts peak to 
insure any instrument connected to "Option 500" has 
virtually no  impact on the 620 series tester's safety. 

For applications requiring data output the 620 series  
is available with “BCD”output. The measured resis-
tance readings are output via a rear panel “BCD” talk 
only interface. A High- Go- Low BCD Dual Limit 
Comparator is presently under development and will 
be available Summer of 2001..

 

Option 300: 4-Wire Gold Plated Kelvin Lead Set

Option "300" is a general purpose Gold Plated 
Kelvin four wire Leads for all AMPTEC 620 series 
Testers. Gold plated kelvin clips provide a low 
thermal EMF connection (minimizes the thermo-
couple effect) with most connections. 

The Option 

“300” is the recommended test lead set for any 
AMPTEC  Igniter Testers with a 2.0 Ohm range

 

(i.e models 630ES and 620ES). The 4 wire Kelvin 
connection is

 important when measuring less than 

1.0 ohm

, and also automatically 

eliminates test 

lead length offset

 and 

test lead contact resistance 

errors

. Option “300” is a shielded 48" lead set 

terminated in ½" opening gold plated Kelvin clips. 
The option "300" can clip easily to wires, pins, and 
medium size (up to ½" diameter conductors). The 
dual banana plug ends connect directly to the 620 
tester's front panel input terminals. (see Option 
"320" for replacement Kelvin clip ends only) 

Option 305:  Banana-to-Banana Cable

Option "305" is a 48" shielded cable terminated in 
dual banana plugs at both ends.

Option 320:  Kelvin Clips

Option "320" are the gold plated kelvin clips used 
on the Option "300" cable set .  These clips may be 
used when making custom cables or when repairing 
Option "300".

Option 360:  Heavy-Duty Clips

Option "360" are Gold-plated jumper cable   (large 
jaws) type clips used on the Option "350" cable.  
They are still Kelvin Clips because the insulated 
upper and lower jaw (jumper cable appearance) 
integrity is maintained. These may be used when 
making custom heavy duty cables that open to 1 
1/2 " wide (i.e bolt heads)..
