Service Manual

1-7. Auxiliary Amplifiers

The Fluke Model 5725A Amplifier is available to extend the high voltage performance
and current range of the calibrator:
Interface connectors on the calibrator's rear panel accept cables to directly operate a
5725A. Three amplifiers can be connected to the calibrator at the same time, but only one
output can be active at a time. Once you have connected the amplifiers and configured
the calibrator in a setup menu, amplifier operation is controlled by the calibrator.
Chapter 4 provides instructions for operating the 5725A. The general specifications at the
end of this chapter include specifications for operating the calibrator with the 5725A. For
other amplifier specifications, refer to their instruction manuals. Table 1-1 summarizes
the extended capabilities offered by the 5725A. Brief descriptions of the extended
capabilities follow.

1-8. 5725A Amplifier
The Fluke 5725A Amplifier is an external unit operating under calibrator control to
extend ac voltage drive capabilities and both ac and dc current output range. The
amplifier adds the following capabilities to the calibrator's 1100V ac range with no
compromise in accuracy:
•
•
•
Extended-performance voltage is available at the calibrator's front or rear binding posts,
eliminating the need to change cables during a procedure.
A separate set of binding posts on the front panel of the 5725A supplies extended-range
ac and dc current outputs. Since most meters have a separate input terminal for the high
current ranges, this eliminates the need to change cables during a procedure. The 5725A
can also be configured to source all current (both standard calibrator-generated current
and its own current) through the 5725A binding posts.

1-9. Support Equipment and Services

Fluke supports your calibration needs with precision, high-quality equipment and a wide
range of services. Depending on your needs, location, and capabilities, you may decide to
support your 5700A/5720A Series II calibrator independently or use Fluke services for
part, or all, of your support needs. The following paragraphs describe the support
equipment and services offered by Fluke for the calibrator. For specifications and
ordering instructions for this support equipment and other Fluke instruments, refer to the
Fluke catalog, or contact a representative at a Fluke Sales and Service Center.
