1-2. Service Information
In case of difficulty within the 1-year Warranty period, return the Calibrator to a Fluke
Service Center for Warranty repair. For out of Warranty repair, contact a Fluke Service
Center for a cost estimate.
This service manual provides instructions for verification of performance, calibration,
and maintenance. If you choose to repair a malfunction, information in this manual can
help you to determine which module (printed circuit assembly) has a fault. See Chapter 5
for cautions about handling the internal components.
1-3. 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.)
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 1-2.
