SECTION D:   OPERATION AND USE

_____________________________________________________________

D-1.

General

This section contains complete operating
instructions for the AMPTEC 620A Series
Failsafe Ohmmeters.  A description of the
front panel controls, connection instructions,
and the theory behind 4-wire resistance
measurement is discussed in this section.

D-2.

Front Panel

» Power Switch

When the front panel power switch is placed
in the 

OFF/CHARGE

 position, all power is

removed from the output terminals. While in
the “OFF” switch position, the battery pack
is connected to the rear panel charging jack
(see diagram next column).  

When the front panel power switch is placed
in the 

ON

 position, the battery pack is

disconnected (isolated) from the rear panel
charging jack.  The possibility of a voltage
between the device under test and AC Power
ground is therefore eliminated.  The operator
need not be concerned if the battery charging
adapter is plugged in while making
resistance measurements.

Range Switch

The AMPTEC 620A input range is selected
by depressing the desired button on a gold
plated multi-station interlocking pushbutton
array located on the right-hand side of the
front panel.  The pushbutton for the lowest
resistance range is nearest to the POWER
switch.

D-3.

Rear Panel

Fuseholder

The fuseholder is mounted on the rear panel
and contains a 2 amp in-line fuse.  This fuse
is designed to protect the battery pack from
excessive charging currents.  On some 
620A versions a fuseholder is mounted on
