C-1. Available Accessories and Options

Option 640DC: Battery Charger

Replacement Batteries

This manual does not list all possible

accessories that AMPTEC RESEARCH is
willing to provide as a support items for the
640N Igniter Tester. Contact the sales

department at AMPTEC if you have a request
for an item that is not described here. Listed
below are the options available for use with the
AMPTEC 640N Igniter Tester.

Option "640DC" is an AC/DC converter that
converts 115VAC line voltage to 9VDC at 1.1A.

The 640 Battery Charger is fitted with the
mating plug that connects to the unit’s J1
connector. One charger is provided as a standard
accessory with every 640N Ohmmeter.

The rechargeable NICAD batteries installed in
the 640N should provide trouble-free operation.
Replacement, however, will eventually be
necessary. The 640N uses four 1.2V cells (5.7

AHr recommended) installed in a reusable
battery box. The batteries are held in place by a
metal retaining plate. When ordering

replacement batteries, please specify AMPTEC
Stock #05-10117, quantity four (4).

Replacement AMPTEC 640N NICAD batteries

come with an inspection sticker that verifies
each individual replacement battery voltage
(charge level), inspector signature, along with
the inspection date.

C-2. Test Lead and Connector Sets

Option 640-400: 4 Wire Kelvin Lead Set

Option "640-400" is the recommended Kelvin
four wire lead set for the 640 Series Igniter

Testers ( especially for versions that have a 2
Ohm range). Option 640-300 is a shielded 48"
lead set terminating in ½" opening Kelvin clips.
The option "640-400" can clip easily to wires,

pins, and medium size (up to ½" diameter
conductors). The notched connector end plugs
directly into the 640’s J1 main front panel

connector labeled for “test leads”.

Option 640-305: Separate/Twin Banana Plug
(Red and Black) Cable Set

Option 640-Plug: For Custom Test Harnesses

Option "640-305" is a 48" long replacement
cable set normally supplied as part of the
AMPTEC 640N Ohmmeter package. The

Option “640-305 has two single banana plugs
(meter and common) terminated with the 640N
style notched connector. One banana plug is red

(Voltage high and Current High) and one banana
plug lead end is black (Voltage low and Current
low) .

.

Option "640-Plug" is the 640Test Lead Plug

along with 8 gold pin/sockets for custom
wiring/missile test harness applications.

The 4-wire configuration is maintained

up to the point of the banana plug,

eliminating most cable resistance effects
