Rack Mount Kits
The rack mount kits provide all the hardware necessary to mount the Calibrator and the
5725A Amplifier on slides in a 24 inch (61 cm) equipment rack. Model Y5737 is for the
5730A and Model Y5735 is for the 5725A. The Y5738 includes the Rack Ears and
fasteners without the slide rack mount. Instructions are included with each kit.
Shielded IEEE-488 Interface Cables (Y8021 and Y8022)
Shielded IEEE-488 cables are available in two lengths (see Table 8-1). The cables attach
the Calibrator to any other IEEE-488 device. Each cable has double 24-pin connectors at
both ends to allow stacking. Metric threaded mounting screws are provided with each
connector. Figure 5-1 in Chapter 5 shows the pinout for the IEEE-488 connector.
DC Voltage Reference Standard (732B)
The Fluke 732B is a rugged, easily transported solid state direct voltage reference
standard with a highly predictable 10 V output. This predictability allows the Fluke
Standards Laboratory, as well as many Fluke customers, to completely eliminate fragile,
saturated standard cells. Many laboratories that maintain standard cells use the 732B as a
transportable voltage standard, eliminating the need to transport their standard cells. The
732B can be short circuited, even for extended periods of time, without damage or loss of
stability. The 732B maintains full specified stability over a temperature span of 18 ºC to
28 ºC.
The Calibrator uses a 10 V reference standard such as the Fluke 732B in an automated
menu-prompted procedure to establish voltage traceability. Chapter 7 describes this
procedure.

Ω and 10 k Ω Resistance Standards (742A-1 and 742A-10k)
The 742A Series Standard Resistors are available in values of 1 Ω and 10 kΩ to support
the Calibrator. Constructed of arrays of Fluke wirewound precision resistors, these
standards are ideally suited as support standards for the Calibrator. Stability of the
resistance transfer standards and their temperature coefficient make them ideal for easy
transport to and operation in the Calibrator working environment.
The Calibrator uses 1 Ω and 10 kΩ resistor standards such as the 742A Series in its
automated calibration procedure to establish external traceability. Chapter 7 describes
this procedure.
