Fluke 5500A Operator's Manual page 71

The IEEE-488 connector is a standard parallel interface for operating the 5500A in remote control
6
as a Talker/Listener on the IEEE-488 bus. Refer to Chapter 5, "Remote Operation" for bus
connection and remote programming instructions.

To avoid shock hazard, connect the factory supplied
three-conductor line power cord to a properly grounded
power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor adapter or
extension cord; this will break the protective ground
connection.
Use the rear-panel ground terminal for a protective
grounding wire if there is any question as to instrument
earth grounding.
The CHASSIS GROUND binding post is internally grounded to the chassis. If the 5500A is the
location of the ground reference point in a system, this binding post can be used for connecting
other instruments to earth ground. Refer to "Connecting the Calibrator to a UUT" in Chapter 4,
"Front Panel Operation" for details.
The AC Power Input Module provides a grounded three-prong connector that accepts the line
8
power cord, a switch mechanism to select the operating line voltage, and a line power fuse. See
Chapter 2, "Preparing for Operation" for information on selecting the operating line voltage, and
fuse rating and replacement information.
