Manual Supplement 5520A Operator
2 7/11
General Specifications
Warmup Time Twice the time since last warmed up, to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Settling Time Less than 5 seconds for all functions and ranges except as noted.
Standard Interfaces IEEE-488 (GPIB), RS-232
Temperature Performance
• Operating: 0 °C to 50 °C
• Calibration (tcal): 15 °C to 35 °C
• Storage: -20 °C to 70 °C
[3]
Temperature Coefficient
Temperature Coefficient for temperatures outside tcal +5 °C is 0.1X/°C of the
90-day specification (or 1-year, as applicable) per °C.
Relative Humidity
[1]
• Operating: <80 % to 30 °C, <70 % to 40 °C, <40 % to 50 °C
• Storage: <95 %, non-condensing
Altitude
• Operating: 3,050 m (10,000 ft) maximum
• Non-operating: 12,200 m (40,000 ft) maximum
Safety Complies with IEC 1010-1 (1992-1); ANSI/ISA-S82.01-1994;
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1010.1-92
Analog Low Isolation 20 V
EMC Designed to comply with FCC Rules Part 15; VFG 243/1991. Performance
not specified above 3 V/m. This instrument may be susceptible to electro-
static discharge (ESD) from direct contact to the binding posts. Good static
aware practices should be followed when handling this and other pieces of
electronic equipment.
Line Power
[2]
• Line Voltage (selectable): 100 V, 120 V, 220 V, 240 V
• Line Frequency: 47 to 63 Hz
• Line Voltage Variation: ±10 % about line voltage setting
Power Consumption 600 VA
Dimensions
• Height: 17.8 cm (7 inches), standard rack increment, plus 1.5 cm (0.6 inch)
for feet on bottom of unit;
• Width: 43.2 cm (17 inches), standard rack width
• Depth: 47.3 cm (18.6 inches) overall
Weight (without options) 22 kg (49 lb)
Absolute Uncertainty Definition The specifications include stability, temperature coefficient, linearity, line and
load regulation, and the traceability of the external standards used for
calibration. You do not need to add anything to determine the total
specification for the temperature range indicated.
Specification Confidence Level 99 %
[1] After long periods of storage at high humidity, a drying out period (with the power on) of at least one week may be required.
[2] For optimal performance at full dual outputs (e.g. 1000 V, 20 A) choose a line voltage setting that is ± 7.5 % from nominal.
[3] The DC Current ranges 0 to 1.09999 A and 1.1 to 2.99999 A are sensitive to storage temperatures above 50 °C. If the 5520A is
stored above 50 °C for greater than 30 minutes, these ranges must be re-calibrated. Otherwise, the 90 day and 1 year
uncertainties of these ranges double.
