Page 7: Introduction
Fluke, the protection provided by the Calibrator may be impaired. The 5520A Multi-Function Calibrator (referred to throughout this manual as either "the 5520A Calibrator" or "the Calibrator") is a fully programmable precision source of the following: • DC voltage from 0 V to ±1000 V. - Page 8 Pressure measurement when used with Fluke 700 Series pressure modules. • 10 MHz reference input and output. Use this to input a high-accuracy 10 MHz reference to transfer the frequency accuracy to the 5520A, or to synchronize one or more additional 5520As to a master 5520A. •...
