Operators Manual

2-9. Connecting to Line Power

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. If a two-conductor
power cord must be used, a protective grounding wire must be
connected between the ground terminal and earth ground
before connecting the power cord or operating the instrument.
After you verify that the line voltage selection switches are set to the correct positions,
verify that the correct fuse for that line voltage is installed. Connect the calibrator to a
properly grounded three-prong outlet.

2-10. Connecting a 5725A Amplifier

The calibrator provides an interface connector for the Fluke 5725A amplifier. You
designate the active amplifier for voltage and current boost in a setup menu. That
procedure is located in the beginning of Chapter 4. Refer to the 5725A Instruction
Manual for the installation procedure.

2-11. Selecting Output Binding Posts

The calibrator is equipped with binding posts for OUTPUT, SENSE, and V GUARD
(Voltage Guard) on the front and rear panels. Only one set of binding posts can be
enabled at the same time. (GND binding posts on both front and rear are always
connected to chassis ground.) The calibrator is shipped with the front panel binding posts
enabled. The procedure to enable the rear panel binding posts involves opening the case
of the calibrator, and repositioning a cable. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 of
the 5700A/5720A Series II Service Manual.
A Type "N" connector for output from the Option 5700-03 Wideband AC
Voltage Module is available only on the calibrator's front panel. A terminal
for I GUARD is available only on the rear panel. (Connection to the I
GUARD terminal is normally required only at low current levels in
calibration systems with long cable runs.) Chapters 3 and 4 contain
detailed information about the function and use of all binding posts.
