The AMPTEC 601ES Explosive Safety Igniter Tester-Digital DMM
The AMPTEC 601ES Low Resistance Explosive Safety Igniter Tester-DMM is a portable Digital Multimeter which has been specifically designed for ultra-safe testing on explosive devices, e.g., squibs, igniters, flares, detonators, warheads. Designed for safety from the ground up, the 601ES uses the AMPTEC USAF approved ohms measurement safety circuitry. Additionally, for proof of safe use and functionality, separate isolated sources of 50mV and 5mA are available as a self test safety check. The 601ES is built for both indoor and outdoor applications as it is packaged in a ruggedized water proof housing with moisture proofed front panel and switches. The 601ES has had the unit's circuitry reviewed and approved by many U.S. Gov. Safety Boards as well as most branches of the armed forces for specific military programs. It is the ideal Ordinance Safe Multimeter for measuring electrical parameters including circuit connectivity continuity and resistance of squibs, detonators, explosive actuators, warheads, bombs, etc. |
Designed for US Military Defense Systems Programs
Designed originally for U.S. Military/Defense system programs, e.g. Air Launched Cruise Missile - Boeing Defense Systems to replace the aging and obsolete Dupont 101 Blaster meter. |
Safety First in Testing Ordinance Circuits
The 601ES Explosive Safety Igniter Tester-Multimeter was developed by AMPTEC to advance and modernize ultra-safe testing of explosive ordinance devices associated with most missile and aircraft programs. AMPTEC’s 601ES not only provides greater accuracy and resolution than older, obsolete igniter testers, e.g., Alinco 101BFG or the Simpson 4000ITS, it additionally advances safety features previously unavailable. The output and measurement circuitry of the 601ES is certified to limit the output test currents and voltages to specified maximum values several orders of magnitude below that required to fire or detonate ordinance devices. Fail-Safe analysis has been performed by many branches of the US Military. The reports are available for reference purposes.
USAF Munitions Safety Committee Approved
The 601ES Waterproof Safety Multimeter (Igniter Tester) internally is identical to the US Air Force Munitions Safety Board approved AMPTEC 620A-4 Igniter Tester circuitry. The advantage is the AMPTEC 601ES is a ruggedized, water-resistant, portable digital ohmmeter-multimeter which have been specifically designed for ultra-safe resistance testing on explosive devices (e.g. squibs, igniters, flares, detonators). The 601ES case is water proof when closed to a depth of 3 feet and moisture resistant when the cover is open. The 601ES also floats in water. Since it has silicon boot seals over all of its switches, it can even be operated outside in direct rain.

Ultimate Safety Isolation for Ground Loop Prevention
The 601ES Portable Igniter Tester is battery powered to insure measurement isolation from the power mains to prevent potentially harmful ground current loops. Safety doesn’t stop there. AMPTEC additionally designed a charger lock-out feature that guarantees the 601ES’s measurement circuits are always isolated from the charging connections. With the Power switch in the ‘Off’ position the charger is connected to the internal batteries but not the measurement circuitry. With the Power switch in the ‘On’ position, the charger is disconnected from the batteries and the batteries are connected to the measurement circuitry. With this ‘either/or’ there is no possibility of introducing a potential ground loop. |

Measure On The Go - Sunshine or In The Rain
The AMPTEC 601ES internal packaging and impact resistant case is constructed to comply with water tight standards. The polypropylene case is water proof when closed (and purge valve is shut) to a depth of 3 feet. The AMPTEC 601ES Explosive Safety Igniter Tester also floats in water. The waterproof overlay covers a unibody aluminum front plate mounted on a water-resistant compressed o-ring in bezel construction. The Super-Bright LEDs are 5 times brighter (25,000 lumens) that normal “high intensity” LEDs, consequently the AMPTEC 601ES display is easily read outdoors in sunlight.
‘Can be Operated Outside in Direct Rain as 601ES has Silicon Boot Seals Over All Switches Along with The Sealed Front Panel and Front Panel Overlay’ |

Automate Your Ordinance Testing with AMPTEC's Ultra-Opto-Isolated RS232 Interface
The AMPTEC 601ES Series Igniter Circuit Tester can be safely operated remotely with complete safety confidence via the "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 "630-232" isolated serial interface.
