Removing the PCB from the 620UK-B 

meter will void the product’s warranty and 

calibration. The following procedure can 

be performed to remove the PCB from the 

620UK-B meter: 

1)  Use a Philips screwdriver to remove 

the 620UK-B’s 4 front panel screws 

located in the corners. 

2)  Pull the front panel forward carefully 

and slowly. 

3)  Slide out the display PCB. Use 

caution with doing this, as there are 

4 wires (battery supply positive and 

negative, and 2 DVM sense wires) 

and a single ribbon cable (going to 

the display PCB) that connect the 

front panel electronics to DVM PCB 

circuitry mounted inside the case. 

4)  Slide out main PCB. 

5)  Disconnect all wires and cables that 

go to the faulty PCB. 

6)  Reinstall all wires and cables onto 

the new PCB. 

7)  Follow  the calibration procedure in 

section E-7 on page 15. 

8)  Slide the main PCB back in, and 

replace the front panel and screws. 

 

E-9 Battery Compartment Design and 

Description 

The metal battery compartment is powder 

coated to make it chemically resistant to 

battery leakage, and backed with a water tight rubber based compression gasket liner. 

The battery supply wiring insulation is made of extra thick (> 5mm) Teflon to provide 

excellent resistance to abrasion. Since the batteries are in a separate compartment 

where the operator has no access to the unit’s internal electronics, any user may 

replace the batteries as needed and this activity does not interfere with the unit’s 

warranty or calibration.  

 

E-9.1 Battery Replacement 

To replace the batteries, you must remove the two retaining screws securing the battery 

compartment cover plate on the rear panel. In order to be UL-913 compliant, the 

batteries must be AA alkaline (1.5 VDC) type Duracell MN1500. Do not mix battery 

batches or brands for any reason. Make sure to replace all four batteries at the same 

time, and re-secure new batteries with a plastic cable tie or similar fastener. 

 

Note that the below diagram is of the 

620LK meter. However, the 620UK-B 

meter is identical in function and design, 

and as such the diagram is accurate.
