The Fluke 1594A and 1595A Hart Super-Thermometers continue this legacy adding new patent pending measurement technology and features that truly are best in class. Below is a summary of key capabilities and features.
1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer Specifications Primary Specifications: the core set of measurement accuracy specifications of the Super-Thermometer. They are guaranteed for performance verification at the 99% confidence level. Ancillary Specifications: additional specifications that help the user understand more of the uncertainties involved in measurement. Since they may be subject to the application and setting in which the Super-Ther- mometer is used, they are not guaranteed for performance verification but should be considered typical.

1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer Specifications When calibrating an SPRT on the ITS-90, the W value is measured at required fixed-point temperatures. This is done by measuring the resistance of the SPRT at a fixed-point temperature followed immediately by measurement of the RTPW. This is repeated for each temperature point. Once again the ratio accuracy of the Super-Thermometer, applied to each measured resistance, determines the accuracy of the resulting W value.
Page 21
Introduction and Specifications Specifications is converted to temperature by dividing 0.03 ppm by 1.0 × 10 and then multiplying by 1.02. The result is then sensitivity, dW/dT, at 0.01 °C, which is 0.004. The final result is 0.000008 °C. After multiply- divided by W ing by W (1.612), the uncertainty of the RTPW resistance ratio, when applied to 157 °C, is 0.000013 °C.
1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer Specifications of the SPRT at 157 °C which is 0.1 Ω/°C (see tip above). This results in a standard temperature uncertainty of 0.001028 °C. 2.2.5.3.11 Measurement Noise at 157 °C During measurement at 157 °C, the standard error of the mean (as reported by the 1595A) is observed to be 0.00004 °C.
Introduction and Specifications Specifications 2.2.5.4.2 Example 3: Measuring Zero-Power Resistance The purpose of this example is to demonstrate how the Relative Current specification applies when performing a zero-power measurement. The zero-power uncertainty calculated in this example would be added to the rest of the uncertainties involved in the measurement as explained in previous examples.

1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer Interface Commands 8.7.3.116 SYST:ERR? Example response: -100,“Command error” Reads the next error in the error queue. When an error is read it is removed from the error queue, and the next error may be read by sending the command again. If there are no more errors, the response is 0,“No error”. The error queue holds ten errors.
Remote Operation Interface Commands 8.7.3.120 SYST:PASS:CEN:STAT? Returns the password-access state.

Password protection: Time/Date Protection Alternate parameter: DEF Sets the Daylight Saving automatic adjust setting (see Section 5.7.5.1, TIME DATE (F1), on page 50). Allowed parameter values are OFF for no automatic daylight saving adjustment, NAM for adjustment accord- ing to the schedule used in North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), and EUR for adjustment according to the schedule used in Europe.
Remote Operation Interface Commands The query form returns 1 if Ratio Self-Calibration is in progress, 0 otherwise. 8.7.3.134 TEST:LIN:REP<n>? Example response: 0.00000002,0.00000001,0.00000002,0.02,0.003 Reads a report from Ratio Self-Calibration (see Section 9, Calibration, on page 103).

1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer Interface Commands 8.7.3.138 TEST:LIN:TOL<n>? Example response: 0.8 Reads a Ratio Self-Calibration test tolerance (see Section 9, Calibration, on page 103). Suffix <n> specifies the test number of which the error tolerance is requested (see Section 8.7.3.134, TEST:LIN:REP<n>?, on page 101). The response has units of 1×10-6.
Thermometer to ensure it will operate correctly and meet published specifications. If the instrument cannot be brought into specification using these instructions, contact the nearest Fluke Authorized Service Center. A complete Super-Thermometer calibration is comprised of four parts; Self Test, Ratio Self-Calibration, Inter- nal Resistor Calibration, and Current Test.
The difference between the actual measured current and the current setting should be within the measurement current accuracy. If the current is not within specification, contact the near- est Fluke Authorized Service Center for more information. 9.4 RATIO CALIBRATION (F3) The Ratio Self-Calibration function allows the user to perform a ratio linearity check or calibration using an internal resistor network.

Calibration RATIO CALIBRATION (F3) sured resistance ratios. Ideally the product would be exactly 1.0. The reported error is half the difference of the combined result from 1.0, in units of 1×10 Test 3 (Equal ratio sum--100% scale) - This test evaluates linearity errors at a resistance ratio near 0.5 with the measurement circuit operating at full scale.
1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer RESISTANCE CALIBRATION (F4) The reported data of the Ratio Self-Calibration may be written to a file on a USB memory device using the WRITE FILE (F1) function key in the View Report screen (see Write File below). The calibration parameters associated with measurement linearity may be adjusted to improve the accuracy if necessary using the ADJUST PARAMETERS (F2) function key (see Adjust Parameters below).
Calibration RESISTANCE CALIBRATION (F4) To properly calibrate a Super-Thermometer internal resistor, the expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the standard resistor should be no greater than 25% of the 95% confidence level, 1-Year Absolute Resistance Accuracy specifications. Its resistance should be approximately the same as that of the internal reference resistor being calibrated, which will result in the least measurement noise and best test uncertainty.
1594A/1595A Super-Thermometer CALIBRATION PARAMETERS (F5) The results of the resistance calibration are written to the file as follows: RESISTANCE,<Rs>,<chan>,<standard>,<measurement>,<error>,<SE>,<date and time> <Rs> is the nominal resistance of the internal reference resistor (in W). <chan> is the channel number to which the standard resistor was connected. <standard>...
Calibration CALIBRATION PARAMETERS (F5) 9.6.2 Standby Current Check It may be necessary to check standby current to ensure proper operation. The standby current must be manu- ally checked. Each channel’s standby current can be checked with the following steps. NOTE: If a scanner is connected, channel 1 will not be available to test. Power off the Super- Thermometer and disconnect the scanner in order to test standby current on channel 1.
Maintenance 10 Maintenance Avoid operating the instrument in excessively wet, oily, dusty, or dirty environments. If the outside of the instrument becomes soiled it may be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. DO NOT use harsh chemicals on the surface that may damage the paint or plastic. The instrument should be handled with care.
Make sure probe leads are not shorted to other DWF connectors. Run System Test to ensure the hardware is working properly. If System Test does not pass, contact the nearest Fluke Authorized Service Center. Multiple channels are enabled but only To measure multiple channels the unit must have the scan function enabled.

Check the oven stability indicator on the Measurement screen. After 30 minutes from power up the indicator should change from SETTLING to READY. If the oven stability indicator never changes to READY, contact a Fluke Authorized Service Center. The unit could still be used with an external reference resistor since the internal oven has no affect when using external resistors.
