We at AMPTEC RESEARCH would like to thank you, our customer, for selecting  our 
Failsafe Igniter Tester/ Digital Ohmmeter.  Over the past 36 years our experienced 
engineering staff  have designed, manufactured and supplied earlier versions similar to 
the Model 620 and 620 Series Igniter Testers to the U.S. NAVY for the “TOMAHAWK CRUISE 
MISSILE”, the  U.S. ARMY for the “STANDARD MISSILE”, the U.S.A.F. for the AIM-9 “ 
SIDEWINDER”,  AIM-7 “SPARROW” and AIM-120 “AMRAAM” just to name just a few. We value the 
trust our customers have placed with us, and are looking forward to supporting any new requirement you 
may have ....
