All AMPTEC 620 series test lead and probe sets are a minimum 48" length, 
dual banana termination at the ohmmeter end (call the Sales Department at 
AMPTEC RESEARCH for any custom requirement).

 

  

Option "110" 

 

Test Lead Pouch

 

(

Mounted on the 620A4 top lid

with 

enough storage room to hold a variety of test leads and accessories (see 
photo above).

 

Option "300" 

Gold Plated Four Terminal Kelvin Clip Test Lead Set 

open 

to ½" for connection to wires, lugs, etc. 

Option "302" 

Gold Plated Banana Jack Backed Four Terminal Kelvin 

Clips 

open to ½" for connection to wires, lugs, etc. 

Option "401" 

Single Pointed Handheld Probe Set

 - ideal for probing into 

recessed squib wire sockets, and onto larger metal surfaces (flat or round) 
such as flares, rounds  and shells, that do not easily accept test lead clip 
attachment.

Option "403"

 

4 Terminal Kelvin Mini-probes

 -

 (photo shown above)  

Each 

probe has two

 

spring loaded, gold plated,

  

steel tips

 with 0.18" separation.

 

(one red and one black handheld probe). Excellent general purpose Mini-
Probe, and along with the Option "300" Kelvin Clip Leads easily fit inside 
the AMPTEC 620ES Test Lead Pouch (OP110). 

 

  

Option “620-ISO”

 

Isolated Analog Output

 provides an isolated DC 

Voltage output directly proportional to the measured resistance            ( 
1.2345 VDC =1.2345 ohms). A datalogger or system DVM can safely 
measure the isolated voltage as being representative of the actual resistance 
of the device under test.  

Option "247" 

for continuous operation 24Hr/7day. Dual stage isolation 

provides safe power for 620 series Igniter Tester 

to safely run continuous 24 

Hrs/day

 without batteries.

 

It’s proven “Medical Safety 3 KV Isolation” 

technology is used in monitoring human patients wired to electrical 
instrumentation. This field tested option is presently running in over 50 
AMPTEC 620 series igniter testers in U.S. Anti-Ballistic Missile systems 
(24Hrs/7).

description on 

the bottom left column

Recommended for 

customers that plan to automate the 
AMPTEC 620 series Explosive Safety 
Igniter Tester using the RS232C interface. 

 

Option "100" 

is a hardshell (impact resistant plastic) shock 

absorbing foam lined meter and accessory carrying case for the 
620A series Ohmmeter with extra room for test leads, battery 
charger, Kelvin Clip Test Leads, Connector Adapters, single 
pointed probes and operator manual etc.

Option "519S and D"  Rack Mount Adapter

Option "519S or D" - "S” for a single unit, “D” for dual/side by 
side two unit install.  The AMPTEC 620VN Igniter Tester (this 
option comes with a flush panel mount faceplate cutout and 
support tray) can be installed/secured into a standard 19" NEMA 
equipment rack support tray (provided). The meters feet screws 
(~ 3” long #6-32 machine screws) are routed through the 
support tray holes back through the meter’s (bottom) feet holes 
into its lid.
