Page 8: Introduction
Fluke 8842A Hewlett Packard 34401A Hewlett Packard 3478A Keithley 2000 To use the 5500A/EP, you will need a Fluke 5500A calibrator, a Hewlett Packard 3458A DMM, two IEEE controller cards, and a personal computer running Microsoft Windows ® and Fluke MET/CAL calibration software, Version 4.3 or higher. -
Page 9: Unpacking The 5500A/Ep Enhancement Package
Inspect the enclosed equipment carefully for damage and immediately report any damage to the shipping company. When you unpack the 5500A/EP, check for all equipment shown in Figure 1. Report any shortage to the place of purchase or to the nearest Fluke Service Center. -
Page 10: 5500A/Ep Software
Installing the Software Installation consists of four parts: modify your MET/CAL, establishing traceability for the 5500A, the 5500A/EP (i.e., the switch accessory), and the Hewlett Packard 3458A, entering the configuration information for each, and then installing the verification and adjustment procedures. -
Page 11: Establishing Traceability Information
3. To enter traceability information for the switch accessory, select Add to open the Add New Trace Entry dialog box. Type “Fluke 5500EP” into the top field. Fill in the remainder of the dialog box and click OK when you are finished. -
Page 12: Configuring The Instruments
Enter the alias as 5500EP. Installing the Verification and Adjustment Procedures Place the 5500A/EP disk into disk drive A or B, and select File/Run from the Program Manager. Type “a:setup” or “b:setup” and click OK. Follow the on screen prompts. -

It also automatically performs a zeroing operation on the 5500A. Setting up the Equipment The 5500A/EP is designed to work with the same hardware configuration for both the characterization of the 5500A, and adjustment and verification of the DMM. The only difference between the two setups is the use of a Hewlett Packard 3458A for characterization. -
Page 16: Connecting The Instruments
Calibrating an Instrument Connecting the Instruments This procedure sets up the instruments in their permanent configuration for both the characterization of the 5500A, and adjustment and verification of the DMM. Refer to Figures 4 and 5 during setup. Warning The binding post adapters have retractable safety shrouds that may expose the metal plug. -
Page 17: Running The Characterization Software
1. Open the MET/CAL program group and select the Runtime module. 2. From the procedure list, select the program: Fluke 5500A: (24 hr.) CAL CHAR /3458 /5500A/EP 3. Follow the prompts to complete the program. The MET/CAL program allows for settling times after any additional connections are made during the procedure. - Page 18 Name that appears in procedure directory Function of procedure Fluke 8840A: CAL ADJ IEEE /5500A/EP Adjusts the Fluke 8840A Fluke 8840A: (1 yr.)

Page 21: Remote Commands For Operating The Switch Accessory
5500A/EP Enhancement Package Users Manual Remote Commands for Operating the Switch Accessory The switch accessory has 11 states, all of which can only be activated when the switch accessory receives a remote command. Remote commands are sent from a PC and transmitted to the 5500A from the IEEE 4888 or Serial 1 port. - Page 22 Remote Commands for Operating the Switch Accessory Table 3. Switch Accessory Remote Commands Mode Remote Description Command Voltage, Ohms Power- on default. All relays are OFF. Used for Voltage and OHMS COMP off. (no compensation) 4-Wire Short Circuit A> Relay cluster 5 is ON. Provides a 4-Wire short to the UUT.
