Calibration solutions that match your workload and budget
The
5500A is a revolutionary product that addresses a wide cross-section of your
electrical calibration work load. It sources direct voltage and current,
alternating voltage and current with multiple waveforms and harmonics, two
simultaneous voltage outputs or voltage and current, and simulates power
with phase control, resistance, capacitance, thermocouples and RTDs. The
5500A's Oscilloscope Calibration options provide level sine wave, fast edge,
time mark and amplitude signals for calibration of oscilloscopes up to 600
MHz.
The 5500A was designed to cover a very wide range of medium accuracy
electrical measurement devices including:
Handheld and bench multimeters
Oscilloscopes and ScopeMeter® Test Tools
Wattmeters
Analog volt/ohm/amp/watt instruments
Electronic thermometers
Data loggers
Strip chart recorders
XY Recorders
Power harmonics analyzers
Process calibrators
Current clamps
And related instruments
Compared to more traditional calibrators designed to calibrate a certain
type of instrument, the 5500A sets the standard of a whole new class of
multi-product calibrator covering an unprecedented range of dc and low
frequency electrical calibration workload. When you team it with the
optional 5500/CAL Calibration Software, the 5500A offers a complete,
powerful and flexible solution for calibration documentation and reporting
according to today's quality standards like ISO 9000.

Flexibility, accuracy and value
The standard Fluke 5500A Multi-Product Calibrator can calibrate digital
and analog multimeters, thermometers (thermocouple and RTD) handheld
wattmeters, data loggers, current clamps, various types of recorders, panel
meters, process calibrators, power harmonics analyzers and many other
similar measurement tools.
The 5500A's Oscilloscope Calibration options further extend coverage to
the most widely used analog and digital oscilloscopes. These options can be
included at time of purchase, or added later at any authorized service
center.
The 5500A includes all the traditional meter calibration source functions
- voltage, current and resistance. Plus it adds capacitance, and both
resistance and capacitance are continuously variable with resolution down to
1 milliohm or 0.1 pF. Both are easy and practical to use with a wide variety
of measurement tools.
Power is simulated using dual dc or ac outputs, allowing you to source
two voltages or voltage plus current at the same time with precise phase
control for wattmeter or power harmonics analyzer calibration. And the 5500A
simulates a wide range of thermocouples and RTDs for temperature
calibration.
For all its capabilities, the 5500A is remarkably affordable. For about
the same price you would expect to pay for a calibrator for one type of
instrument, the 5500A can provide you with far more, making cost
justification easy. And when you consider how your workload might change in
the future, the 5500A is an even better value. So instead of buying several
standards, the 5500A meets your needs with a single, compact tool.
The 5500A also features the stability, linearity and low noise
performance common to all Fluke calibrators. Each unit is shipped with test
data and a certificate of traceability to nationally recognized standards. |
