732B-200 Direct Volt Maintenance Program (USA Only)

The Fluke Calibration 732B-200 Direct Volt Maintenance Program provides laboratories
with NIST-traceable 10 V calibration uncertainty as low as 0.6 parts per million (ppm).
The program maintains the 732B that is kept in the laboratory. To do this:
1. Fluke Calibration sends a calibrated Fluke Calibration-owned 732B standard,
2. The customer takes a series of readings over five days, and returns the results to the
3. The Fluke Calibration Standards Laboratory assigns a value to the customer 10 V

742A Series Resistance Standards

The 5730A Calibrator uses 1 Ω and 10 kΩ resistor standards such as the 742A Series in
its semi-automated calibration procedure to establish external traceability of resistance
and current. Chapter 7 of the Operators Manual describes this procedure.
The 742A Resistance Standards are constructed of arrays of Fluke Calibration wirewound
precision resistors and are ideally suited as support standards for the Calibrator. Stability
of the resistance transfer standards and their temperature coefficients make them ideal for
easy transport to the Calibrator work environment.

Wideband AC Module (Option 5730A/03 or 5730A/05) Calibration Support

The Wideband AC Module (Option 5730A/03 or 5730/05) requires two kinds of
calibration: gain and flatness. Gain constants are checked and recalibrated as part of the
normal 5730A Calibrator semi-automated calibration process.
Since frequency flatness is determined by such stable parameters as circuit geometry and
dielectric constants, flatness of the Wideband AC Module has excellent long-term
stability. This stability gives the Wideband AC Module a two-year calibration cycle for
flatness calibration. Flatness calibration is required only infrequently, and can be done
when the Calibrator is returned to a standards laboratory for periodic verification.
Chapter 7 of the Operators Manual contains the wideband gain and flatness calibration
procedures.

The Components of the Calibrator

The 5730A Calibrator is configured internally as an automated calibration system, with
process controls and consistent procedures. Internal microprocessors control all functions
and monitor performance with the use of a switching matrix to route signals between
modules. Complete automatic internal diagnostics, both analog and digital, confirm
operational integrity.
Reference amplifiers maintain dc accuracy and stability. Reference amplifiers have the
lowest noise and best stability. Reference amplifiers in the Calibrator go through special
selection processes that include long-term aging to ensure high reliability and
performance well within specifications.
