Page 11: Introduction
Getting Started Introduction The Fluke Model 5500A Multi-Product Calibrator (Figure 1) is a precise instrument that calibrates a wide variety of electrical measuring instruments. With the 5500A Calibrator, you can calibrate precision multimeters that measure ac or dc voltage, ac or dc current, ac or dc power, resistance, capacitance, and temperature. -
Page 12: Instruction Manuals
5500A Getting Started The 5500A Calibrator is a fully programmable precision source of the following: • DC voltage from 0 V to +1020 V. • AC voltage from 1 mV to 1020 V, with output from 10 Hz to 500 kHz. -
Page 13: 5500A Getting Started Manual
This guide is included with this manual. 5500A Service Manual The 5500A Service Manual is available in PDF format on the CD-ROM provided with your instrument. It can also be ordered through your local Fluke Sales or Service representative. -
Page 14: Operation Overview
Getting Started Operation Overview The 5500A Calibrator may be operated at the front panel in the local mode, or remotely using RS-232 or IEEE-488 ports. For remote operations, several software options are available to integrate 5500A operation into a wide variety of calibration requirements. -
Page 15: Preparing For Operation
When you unpack the calibrator, check for all the standard equipment listed in Table 1 and check the shipping order for any additional items ordered. Refer to the 5500A Operator Manual Chapter 9, “Accessories” for more information. Report any shortage to the place of purchase or to the nearest Fluke Technical Service Center. -
Page 16: Replacing The Fuse
You can operate the 5500A Calibrator from one of four line voltage settings: 100 V, 120 V, 200 V, and 240 V (47 to 63 Hz). To check the line voltage setting, note the voltage setting visible through the window in the power line fuse compartment cover (Figure 4). -
Page 17: Connecting To Line Power
If you need a different type, refer to Table 2 and Figure 3 for a list and illustration of the line power plug types available from Fluke. After you verify that the line voltage selection is set correctly and that the correct fuse for that line voltage is installed, connect the calibrator to a properly grounded three- prong outlet. - Page 18 5500A Getting Started LINE VOLTAGE INDICATOR CHANGING LINE FUSE CHANGING LINE VOLTAGE F2-01.eps Figure 4.
