Introduction
Warning
If the 5520A Multi-Function Calibrator is operated in any way
not specified by this manual or other documentation provided
by Fluke, the protection provided by the Calibrator may be
impaired.
The 5520A Multi-Function Calibrator (referred to throughout this manual as either "the
5520A Calibrator" or "the Calibrator") is a fully programmable precision source of the
following:
• DC voltage from 0 V to ±1000 V.
• AC voltage from 1 mV to 1000 V, with output from 10 Hz to 500 kHz.
• AC current from 100 µA to 20.5 A, with variable frequency limits.
• DC current from 0 to ±20.5 A.
• Resistance values from a short circuit to 1100 MΩ.
• Capacitance values from 190 pF to 110 mF.
• Simulated output for eight types of Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs).
• Simulated output for eleven types of thermocouples.
