Calibration Information

Performance Tests

To avoid electric shock, do not perform the performance test procedures unless the
Product is fully assembled.
The following performance tests verify the complete operation of the Product and check the accuracy of
each Product function against its specifications. If the Product fails any part of the test, calibration
adjustment and/or repair is indicated.
In the performance tests, the Product is referred to as the unit under test (UUT).

Required Equipment

A Fluke 5500A Multi-Product Calibrator (or equivalent) is required for the performance test procedures in
this document.
If an equivalent calibrator is used, it must meet the accuracy specifications shown in Table 2.
Recommended Equipment
5500A Multi-Product Calibrator
(or equivalent)
Fluke 80 AK K-type Thermocouple
Adapter Accessory
K-type Thermocouple, mini-plug on
both ends
Prepare for the Performance Test
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

Do not perform the following procedures unless qualified to do so. Some
procedures involve the use of high voltages.

Before handling the test connections and in between tests, make sure the
calibrator is in standby mode (STBY).
To prepare for the performance test:
1. Make sure that you have the required equipment (see Table 2).
2. Warm up the calibrator as required by its specifications.
3. Allow the temperature of the UUT to stabilize at room temperature (23 C  5 C [73 F  9 F]).
4. Check the fuses and Battery, and replace them if necessary. Refer to Test the Fuses, Replace the
Fuses, and Replace the Battery.
