Introduction and Specifications
Specifications 1
1-9
1-14. Specifications
The following paragraphs detail specifications for the 5500A Calibrator. The specifications are valid after allowing a
warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5500A has been turned off. For example, if the 5500A has been
turned off for 5 minutes, the warm-up period is 10 minutes.
All specifications apply for the temperature and time period indicated. For temperatures outside of tcal +
5 °C (tcal is the
ambient temperature when the 5500A was calibrated), the temperature coefficient is less than 0.1 times the 90-day
specifications per °C (limited to 0 °C to 50 °C). These specifications also assume the 5500A Calibrator is zeroed every
seven days or when the ambient temperature changes more than 5 °C. (See “Zeroing the Calibrator” in Chapter 4 of the
5500A Operator Manual.)
Also see additional specifications later in this chapter for information on extended specifications for ac voltage and
current. The dimensional outline for the 5500A Calibrator is shown in Figure A.
