Warning
The 5500A Calibrator can supply lethal voltages. Read this
section before operating the calibrator.
2-1. Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for unpacking and installing the 5500A, selecting the
line voltage, replacing the fuse, and connecting to line power. Instructions for cable
connections other than line power can be found in the following chapters:
• UUT (Unit Under Test) connections: Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operation”
• IEEE-488 parallel interface connection: Chapter 5, “Remote Operation”
• RS-232C serial interface connection: Chapter 5, “Remote Operation”
• Auxiliary amplifier connections: Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operation”
2-2. Unpacking and Inspection
The calibrator is shipped in a container designed to prevent damage during shipping.
Inspect the calibrator carefully for damage and immediately report any damage to the
shipper. Instructions for inspection and claims are included in the shipping container.
When you unpack the calibrator, check for all the standard equipment listed in Table 2-1
and check the shipping order for any additional items ordered. Refer to Chapter 9,
“Accessories” for more information. Report any shortage to the place of purchase or to
the nearest Fluke Technical Service Center (see “Service Information” in this section).
A performance test is provided in Chapter 7, “Maintenance.”
If reshipping the calibrator, use the original container. If it is not available, you can order
a new container from Fluke by indicating the calibrator's model and serial number.

2-3. Replacing The Fuse
Caution
To prevent possible damage to the instrument, verify the
correct fuse is installed for the selected line voltage setting
(100 V and 120 V, use 2.5 A/250 V time delay; 200 V and 240 V,
use 1.25 A/250 V time delay).
The line power fuse is accessible on the rear panel. The fuse rating is 2.5 A/250 V time
delay fuse for the 100 V/120 V line voltage setting; 1.25 A/250 V time delay fuse for the
220 V/240 V line voltage setting. Fuses that are not user replaceable are discussed in
Chapter 7, “Maintenance.”
To check or replace the fuse, refer to Figure 2-1 and proceed as follows:
