The AMPTEC 620A-4 Igniter Tester is a portable, battery powered 4 ½ digit DC Ohmmeter that safely measures electrical resistance on a variety of squibs and other explosive elements and components (using 1/100th to 1/1000 less current levels that most meters).  It has also had its circuitry reviewed and approved by U.S.A.F. NonNuclear Munition Safety Board for use on all NonNuclear Munitions (i.e. U.S.A.F. AIM-7 Sparrow Missile Warhead squibs, AIM-9 Sidewinder  Warhead and Rocket Motor squibs - AIM 120 AMRAAM Missiles, Stinger, Army Standard Missile, Flares, C-130 Fire Bottle Squibs, US ARMY TOW Missile and more).  This igniter tester was specifically designed for ultra-safe resistance testing on explosive devices (i.e. squibs, igniters, flares, detonators). The AMPTEC 620A-4 is the only digital igniter tester used by the USAF. Some competitors may claim to have a Munition Safety Board Approval but we are the only company to offer proof in writing that the USAF, US NAVY ORDNANCE SAFETY and MUNITION SAFETY BOARDS have Approved and are actively using the AMPTEC 620A-4 Fail Safe Igniter Circuit Tester. Below are password protected links to get a copy of any of our multiple active Safety Certifications: contact the Sales Dept. at AMPTEC RESEARCH for access. Insist to get a copy from the competitors who claim they sold one of their testers to "a USAF or a NAVY dept. somewhere in the World" that doesn't mean Munition Safety Approved - See for yourself - You be the Judge.

GarwoodC130 Tranport _ Emergency Engine Fire Bottle Squib use.  .  The AMPTEC 620AA-4 is also the only Igniter Circuit Tester that is MIL STD 810 Method 511 rev F, Explosive and Volatile Atmospheres Certified to +50°C. It is also approved for use on USAF C-130 Transport (for Emergency Engine Fire Control - Fire Bottle Extinguishing Squib System), approved for the USAF C3 AWACS ( Airborne Warning and Control Systems - Fire Supression System). 

It is Munition Safety Board Approved for * every type of EED (Electrically Ignitiated Device and Explosive used by the USAF except for NUCLEAR WARHEADS ( see AMPTEC 640SL). Used for USAF Electrically Activated Explosive Devices Training Center, Replaces the Alinco 101 Igniter Tester, SIMPSON 4000ITS that was used by the USAF ( in 1998) and more .  .  .     E3 LetterAlinco letter620A4 TO manual

NSN 6625-01-460-1499NM Igniter Tester Package
The AMPTEC 620A-4 Circuit Igniter Tester NSN package includes: a 48" Dual Banana to Alligator
Igniter Circuit Tester Lead set (OP290), Battery Charger (OPDC), Operator Mantenance Manual (OPMAN), Dual Banana to 2 pin Circular Plug Adapter (AIM 7 Adapter -OP430), the foam lined transit case also holds all accessories (OP100), and a N.I.S.T. traceability calibration certificate under the NSN 6625-01-460-1499NM.  The accessories described above may also be purchased separately as options.  In addition a single pointed handheld Kelvin Lead probe set (OP401) for testing wiring continuity on items such as recessed sockets/pins on connectorsis also available. For a data sheet of all the accessories, test leads, probes and options that are compatible with the AMPTEC 601ES DMM, 620A-4, 620BH, 620ES, 620GD, 620RK etc select here.

RS232C Control

Optically Isolated RS232C Interface Option with full remote control

rear panel

Now any AMPTEC 620A series Igniter Circuit Tester ( AMPTEC 620A-4, 620ES, 620BH, 620RK etc.) can be safely operated remotely with an "optically isolated RS232C interface" option.  The AMPTEC's optically isolated serial interface allows complete remote control (i.e. change to the desired range). Remote reading of the actual igniter (squib) resistance is completely controlled by the serial interface of a PC (i.e. COM2 port). For safety purposes, the optically coupled interface is designed to be electronically isolated (protected) and will withstand up to 5,300 VRMS input or output via the Option "232" isolated serial interface.

In addition the Option "232" RS232C Remote Control Serial interface includes a rear panel Gold Plated 4 Wire Terminal strip (Voltage high, Currrent high, Voltage low, and Current Low) which is wired in parallel with the unit's front panel measurement input jacks.


No batteries needed 

Optional 24/7 Continuous Isolated Operating Power - 24 Hours a Day

To continually use the AMPTEC 620A-4,especially in an automated application with a computer would eventually drain any battery powered unit. Option "247" allows the AMPTEC 620A-4 Igniter Tester to be safely operated 24 Hrs/Day 7 Days/Week continuously.  It is based upon the same "Hospital Safety Isolation" technology used in monitoring and diagnosing human patients while wired/connected to 120 VAC powered electrical instrumentation.  This Ultra High Line Isolation DC/DC convertor based option is rated to 3,000 volts isolation._

Alligator Clip Test Leads, Kelvin Clip Leads and Gold Plated Handheld Probes

For a data sheet of all the accessories, test leads, probes and options that are compatible with the AMPTEC 601ES DMM, 620A-4, 620BH, 620ES, 620GD, 620RK etc select here.

Option "403" 4 Terminal Kelvin Mini-Probes - (photo shown above) Each probe has two spring loaded, gold plated, steel 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 "403" Kelvin Mini-Probe Set

Option "300" Kelvin Clip Test Leads - Gold Plated Four Terminal Kelvin Clip Lead Set open to ½" for connection to wires, lugs, etc.


Option "300" Kelvin Clip Test Leads

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.
