Damp Heat: IEC68–2–3 The E1620 has a custom, 3½ digit liquid crystal display with 18mm high digits which are readily viewed in most lighting conditions. This display also indicates low battery voltage, overrange and reverse polarity of load conditions. The decimal point changes to correspond with the range selected.

Connect the standard Kelvin lead set into the E1620. Current Leads One pair of leads should be connected into the C1 and P1 sockets, and the other into the C2 and P2 sockets as Shrouded, 4mm, safety plugs are illustrated below in Fig. 2. Connect the two Kelvin required at one end of each lead as crocodile clips to a shorting bar.
