Introduction
Warning
If the 5522A 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 5522A Calibrator (hereafter “the Product”, or “the Calibrator”), shown in Figure 1-1
is a fully programmable precision source of the following:
• DC voltage from 0 V to ±1020 V.
• AC voltage from 1 mV to 1020 V, with output from 10 Hz to 500 kHz.
• AC current from 29 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 220 pF to 110 mF.
• Simulated output for eight types of Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs).
• Simulated output for eleven types of thermocouples.

Features of the Calibrator include the following:
• Automatic meter error calculation, with user selectable reference values.
• X and D keys that change the output value to pre-determined cardinal values
for various functions.
• Programmable entry limits that prevent the operator from entering values that exceed
preset output limits.
• Simultaneous output of voltage and current, up to an equivalent of 20.9 kW.
• Pressure measurement when used with Fluke 700 Series pressure modules.
