4.1 Introduction
Warning
Procedures in this chapter should be performed by qualified
service personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not
perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
The test tool should be calibrated and in operating condition when you receive it.
The following performance tests are provided to ensure that the test tool is in a proper
operating condition. If the test tool fails any of the performance tests, calibration
adjustment (see Chapter 5) and/or repair (see Chapter 7) is necessary.
The Performance Verification Procedure is based on the specifications, listed in Chapter
2 of this Service Manual. The values given here are valid for ambient temperatures
between 18 °C and 28 °C.
The Performance Verification Procedure is a quick way to check most of the test tool’s
specifications. Because of the highly integrated design of the test tool, it is not always
necessary to check all features separately. For example: the duty cycle, pulse width, and
frequency measurement are based on the same measurement principles; so only one of
these functions needs to be verified.
4.2 Equipment Required For Verification
The primary source instrument used in the verification procedures is the Fluke 5500A. If
a 5500A is not available, you can substitute another calibrator as long as it meets the
minimum test requirements.
Power Quality Option 5520A-PQ is not strictly necessary for the tests in this chapter, but
it offers useful test signals to test modes such as Harmonics and Sags & Swells.
• Fluke 5500A Multi Product Calibrator, including 5500A-SC Oscilloscope Calibration
Option.
• Stackable Test Leads (4x), supplied with the 5500A.
• 50Ω Coax Cables (2x), Fluke PM9091 (1.5m) or PM9092 (0.5m).
• 50Ω feed through termination’s (2x), Fluke PM9585.
• Fluke BB120 Shielded Banana to Female BNC adapters (2x), supplied with the Fluke
43B.
• Dual Banana Plug to Female BNC Adapter (1x), Fluke PM9081/001.
• Dual Banana Jack to Male BNC Adapter (1x), Fluke PM9082/001.
4.3 How To Verify
Verification procedures for the display function and measure functions follow. For each
procedure the test requirements are listed. If the result of the test does not meet the
requirements, the test tool should be recalibrated or repaired if necessary.
Follow these general instructions for all tests:
• For all tests, power the test tool with the PM8907 power adapter. The battery pack
must be installed.
• Allow the 5500A to satisfy its specified warm-up period.
• For each test point , wait for the 5500A to settle.
• Allow the test tool a minimum of 20 minutes to warm up.
