D-3 Carrying Case Photo and Information 

 

The 620LK can be carried and 

operated easily hands free. Using 

the straps on the case, you can hang 

the meter over your head and neck, 

leaving your hands free to use a 

lead/probe set to make a 

measurement. The below itemized 

list references figure 2. 

Item A:

  ITT Cannon/Trident Kelvin 

test lead Connector with waterproof 

dust cap. 

 

Item B: 

Chassis ground connector. 

Chassis is connected completely to 

case.  Case is all alluminum, 

including front and rear panels. 

 

Item C:

 4 ½ Digit LCD Display 

with “LO BAT” and “<<<OR” 

shown as an example. 

 

Item D: 

AUTO MEASURE 

RESET BUTTON.  Press and 

hold to reset a measurement 

that has been locked. 

Item E:

  Power On/Off Switch 

with LED. Press and hold for 2 

seconds to power the unit on. 

The display backlight and a 

small LED on the front panel will 

indicate the power is on. 

D-4 Detailed Use Description 

The below provides a detailed description on the best way to use the 620LK meter for 

bond measurements. 

 

Starting out, the Kelvin probes should not be touching a conductor - the meter is open 

circuit and the display indicates "1- - - -". Find a clean area on both the part you need to 

test (no paint or coating), and the metal chassis of your test item. Pointed probes work 

best on aluminum parts as this type of material often has a thin coating (aluminum 

oxide) that is a non-conductor. Press and hold each probe with a steady hand, and note 

it is only necessary to push the probe tip springs in about half way. Do not move the
