Operation Overview

Local Operation

Remote Operation (RS-232)

The 5500A Calibrator may be operated at the front panel in the local mode, or remotely using RS-232 or IEEE-488 ports. For remote operations, several software options are available to integrate 5500A operation into a wide variety of calibration requirements.

Typical local operations include front panel connections to the Unit Under Test (UUT), and then manual keystroke entries at the front panel to place the calibrator in the desired output mode. The front panel layout facilitates hand movements from left to right, and multiply and divide keys make it easy to step up or down at the press of a single key. You can also review 5500A Calibrator specifications at the push of a button [available, July, 1995]. The backlit liquid crystal display is easy to read from many different viewing angles and lighting conditions, and the large, easy-to-read keys are color-coded and provide tactile feedback when they are pressed.

There are two rear-panel serial data RS-232 ports: SERIAL 1 FROM HOST, and SERIAL 2 TO UUT (Figure 2). Each port is dedicated to serial data communications for operating and controlling the 5500A during calibration procedures. For complete information on remote operations, see Chapter 5.

The SERIAL 1 FROM HOST serial data port connects a host terminal or personal computer to the 5500A. You have several choices for sending commands to the 5500A: you can enter commands from a terminal (for example, using the Terminal accessory from Windows using a PC), you can write your own programs using BASIC, or you can run optional Windows-based software such as 5500/CAL or MET/CAL. The 5500/CAL software includes more than 200 example procedures covering a wide range of test tools the 5500A can calibrate. (See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the RS-232 commands.)

The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal via the 5500A (see Figure 2). This “pass-through” configuration eliminates the requirement for

two COM ports at the PC or Terminal. A set of four commands control the operation of the SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial port. See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the UUT_* commands.

Remote Operation (IEEE-488)

The 5500A rear panel IEEE-488 port is a fully programmable parallel interface bus meeting standard IEEE-488.1 and supplemental standard IEEE-488.2. Under the remote control of an instrument controller, the 5500A Calibrator operates exclusively as a “talker/listener.” You can write your own programs using the IEEE-488 command set or run the optional Windows-based MET/CAL software. (See Chapter 6 in the Operator Manual for a discussion of the commands available for IEEE-488 operation.)

The 5500A Calibrator can supply lethal voltages. Read this section before operating the calibrator.

Preparing for Operation

The following paragraphs provide instructions for unpacking and installing the 5500A, selecting the line voltage, replacing the fuse, and connecting to line power. Instructions for cable connections other than line power can be found in the following chapters of the Operator Manual:

• UUT (Unit Under Test) connections: Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operation”

• IEEE-488 parallel interface connection: Chapter 5, “Remote Operation”

• RS-232C serial interface connection: Chapter 5, “Remote Operation”

• Auxiliary amplifier connections: Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operation”

Unpacking and Inspection

The calibrator is shipped in a container designed to prevent damage during shipping. Inspect the calibrator carefully for damage and immediately report any damage to the shipper. Instructions for inspection and claims are included in the shipping container.

When you unpack the calibrator, check for all the standard equipment listed in Table 1 and check the shipping order for any additional items ordered. Refer to the 5500A Operator Manual Chapter 9, “Accessories” for more information. Report any shortage to the place of purchase or to the nearest Fluke Technical Service Center.

Replacing the Fuse

CAUTION

To prevent possible damage to the instrument, veri fy the correct fuse is installed for the sel ected line voltage setting (100 V and 120 V, use 2.5 A/250 V time delay; 200 V and 240 V, use 1.25 A/250 V time delay).

The line power fuse is accessible on the rear panel. The fuse rating is 2.5 A/250 V time delay fuse for the 100 V/120 V line voltage setting; 1.25 A/250 V time delay fuse for the 220 V/240 V line voltage setting. Fuses that are not user replaceable are discussed in

Chapter 7, “Maintenance.” To check or replace the fuse, refer to Figure 4 and proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect line power.

2. Open the fuse compartment by inserting a screwdriver blade in the tab located at the

left side of the compartment and gently pry until it can be removed with the fingers.

5500A See Table 2 1627768 945159 945097 105783 Form G749

3. Remove the fuse from the compartment for replacement or verification. Be sure the

correct fuse is installed.

4. Reinstall the fuse compartment by pushing it back into place until the tab locks.

Selecting Line Voltage

The calibrator arrives from the factory configured for the line voltage normally appropriate for the country of purchase, or as specified at the time of your purchase order. You can operate the 5500A Calibrator from one of four line voltage settings: 100 V, 120 V, 200 V, and 240 V (47 to 63 Hz). To check the line voltage setting, note the voltage setting visible through the window in the power line fuse compartment cover (Figure 4). The allowed line voltage variation is 10% above or below the line voltage setting.

To change the line voltage setting, complete the following procedure:

1. Remove the fuse compartment by following the first two steps in “Replacing the

Fuse” earlier in this manual.

2. Remove the line voltage selector assembly by gripping the line voltage indicator tab

with pliers and pulling it straight out of its connector.

3. Rotate the line voltage selector assembly to the desired voltage and reinsert.

4. Verify the appropriate fuse for the selected line voltage (100 V/120 V, use

2.5 A/250 V time delay; 220 V/240 V, use 1.25 A/250 V time delay) and reinstall the fuse compartment by pushing it back into place until the tab locks.

Connecting to Line Power

To avoid shock hazard, connect the factory supplied threeconductor line power cord to a properly grounded power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord; this will break the protective ground connection.

Use the rear-panel ground terminal for a protective grounding wire if there is any question as t o i nstrument earth grounding.

The calibrator is shipped with the appropriate line power plug for the country of purchase. If you need a different type, refer to Table 2 and Figure 3 for a list and illustration of the line power plug types available from Fluke.

After you verify that the line voltage selection is set correctly and that the correct fuse for that line voltage is installed, connect the calibrator to a properly grounded threeprong outlet.

Service Information

Placement and Rack Mounting

You may place the calibrator on a bench top or mount it in a standard-width, 24-inch (61-cm) deep equipment rack. For bench-top use, the calibrator is equipped with nonslipping, non-marring feet. To mount the calibrator in an equipment rack, use the 5500A Rack Mount Kit, Model Y5537. Instructions for rack mounting the calibrator are packed with the rack mount kit.

Cooling Considerations

Warning

To avoid risk of injury, never operate or power the 5500A Calibrator without the fan fil t er i n pl ace.

CAUTION

Damage caused by overheating may occur if the area around the air intake is restricted, the int ake ai r i s t oo w arm, or t he air filter becomes clogged.

Baffles direct cooling air from the fan throughout the chassis to internally dissipate heat during operation. The accuracy and dependability of all internal parts of the calibrator are enhanced by maintaining the coolest possible internal temperature. You can lengthen the life of the calibrator and enhance its performance by observing the following rules:

• The area around the air filter must be at least 3 inches from nearby walls or rack

enclosures.

• The exhaust perforations on the sides of the calibrator must be clear of obstructions.

• The air entering the instrument must be at room temperature: make sure the exhaust

air from another instrument is not directed into the fan inlet.

• Clean the air filter every 30 days or more frequently if the calibrator is operated in a

dusty environment. (See the 5500A Operator Manual Chapter 7, “Maintenance” for

instructions on cleaning the air filter.)

5500A

Getting Started

5725A Amplifier

The Fluke 5725A Amplifier (Figure 5) is an external unit operating under 5500A control to extend the Volts x Hertz and voltage compliance of the calibrator. The amplifier adds the following capabilities with no compromise in accuracy:

Frequency Increase to 100 kHz at 750 V, 30 kHz at 1020 V. AC Voltage Load limit extended to 70 mA for frequencies above 5 kHz, and to 50 mA

for frequencies less than 5 kHz. Capacitive drive increases to 1020 pF, subject to the maximum output current, for volts ac.

AC Current 11 A load limit extended to 10 kHz, with a 3-volt drive compliance. A separate set of binding posts on the front panel of the 5725A supplies extended

capability. Since most meters have a separate input terminal for the high current ranges, this eliminates the need to change cables during a procedure.

Figure 5. 5725A Amplifier

F1-03.eps

Connecting the 5725A Amplifier

The 5500A provides an interface connection for the Fluke 5725A Amplifier. You designate whether the 5500A or 5725A is the preferred source of current and voltage in a calibrator setup menu (see 5500A Operator Manual Chapter 4, “Front Panel Operation”).

A single connection cable provides the complete link for analog and digital control signals. Refer to the 5725A Instruction Manual for installation instructions (a copy is provided on the CD-ROM you received with your 5500A).

Specifications

The following paragraphs describe the details for the 5500A specifications. All specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5500A has been turned off. (For example, if the 5500A has been turned off for 5 minutes, the warm-up period is 10 minutes.)

All specifications apply for the temperature and time period indicated. For temperatures outside of tcal + 5°C (tcal is the ambient temperature when the 5500A was calibrated), the temperature coefficient is less than 0.1 times the 90-day specifications per °C (limited to 0°C - 50°C). These specifications also assume the 5500A Calibrator is zeroed every seven days or when the ambient temperature changes more than 5°C. (See

“Zeroing the Calibrator” in Chapter 4 of the Operator Manual.) Also see additional specifications later in this chapter for information on extended

specifications for ac voltage and current. The dimensional outline for the 5500A Calibrator is shown in Figure 6.

Calculating Power Uncertainty

Overall uncertainty for power output in watts (or VARs) is based on the root sum square (rss) of the individual uncertainties in percent for the selected voltage, current, and power factor parameters:

UUUU

Watts uncertainty VARs uncertainty UUUU

power voltage current PFadder

VARs voltage current VARsadder

=++

Because there are an infinite number of combinations, you should calculate the actual ac power uncertainty for your selected parameters. The method of calculation is best shown in the following examples (using 90-day specifications):

Example

1 Output: 100 V, 1 A, 60 Hz, Power Factor = 1.0 (Φ=0)

Voltage Uncertainty Uncertainty for 100 V at 60 Hz is 0.04% + 6.6 mV, totaling:

100V x .0004 = 40 mV added to 6.6 mV = 46.6 mV. Expressed in percent:

46.6 mV/100 V x 100 = 0.047% (see “AC Voltage (Sinewave) Specifications”).

Current Uncertainty Uncertainty for 1 A is 0.08% + 300 µA, totaling: 1 A x .0008 = 800 µA added to 300 µA = 1.1 mA. Expressed in percent:

1.1 mA/1A x 100 = 0.11% (see “AC Current (Sinewaves) Specifications”). PF Adder Watts Adder for PF = 1 (Φ=0) at 60 Hz is 0% (see “Phase Specifications”).

Total Watts Output Uncertainty = U

Example 2 Output: 100 V, 1 A, 400 Hz, Power Factor = 0.5 (Φ=60) Voltage Uncertainty Uncertainty for 100 V at 400 Hz is 0.04% + 6.6 mV, totaling:

100 V x .0004 = 40 mV added to 6.6 mV = 46.6 mV. Expressed in percent:

46.6 mV/100 V x 100 = 0.047% (see “AC Voltage (Sinewave) Specifications”). Current Uncertainty Uncertainty for 1 A is 0.08% + 300 µA, totaling:

1 A x .0008 = 800 µA added to 300 µA = 1.1 mA. Expressed in percent:

1.1 mA/1 A x 100 = 0.11% (see “AC Current (Sinewave) Specifications”). PF Adder Watts Adder for PF = 0.5 (Φ=60) at 400 Hz is 2.73% (see “Phase Specifications”).

Total Watts Output Uncertainty = U

power

=++=0047 011 273 273%

....

VARs When the Power Factor approaches 0.0, the watts output uncertainty becomes unrealistic because the dominant characteristic is the VARs (volts-amps-reactive) output. In these cases, calculate the Total VARs Output Uncertainty, as shown in example 3:

Example 3 Output: 100 V, 1 A, 60 Hz, Power Factor = 0.0872 (Φ=85) Voltage Uncertainty Uncertainty for 100 V at 60 Hz is 0.04% + 6.6 mV, totaling:

100 V x .0004 = 40 mV added to 6.6 mV = 46.6 mV. Expressed in percent:

46.6 mV/100 V x 100 = 0.047% (see “AC Voltage (Sinewave) Specifications”). Current Uncertainty Uncertainty for 1 A is 0.08% + 300 µA, totaling:

1 A x .0008 = 800 µA added to 300 µA = 1.1 mA. Expressed in percent:

1.1 mA/1 A x 100 = 0.11% (see “AC Current (Sinewave) Specifications”). VARs Adder VARs Adder for Φ=85 at 60 Hz is 0.02% (see “Phase Specifications”).

Note

1. Phase uncertainty for harmonic outputs is 1 degree, or the phase uncertainty shown

in “Phase Specifications” for the particular output, whichever is greater. For example, the phase uncertainty of a 400 Hz fundamental output and 10 kHz harmonic output is 10 degrees (from “Phase Specifications”). Another example, the phase uncertainty of a 60 Hz fundamental output and a 400 Hz harmonic output is 1 degree.

Example of determining Amplitude Uncertainty in a Dual Output Harmonic Mode

What are the amplitude uncertainties for the following dual outputs?

NORMAL (Fundamental) Output: 100 V, 100 Hz From “AC Voltage (Sinewave) Specifications” the single output specification for

100 V, 100 Hz, is 0.04% + 6.6 mV. For the dual output in this example, the specification is 0.04% + 13.2 mV as the 0.04% is the same and the floor is twice the value (2 x 6.6 mV).

AUX (50th Harmonic) Output: 100 mV, 5 kHz From “AC Voltage (Sinewave) Specifications” the auxiliary output specification for

100 mV, 5 kHz, is 0.15% + 450 mV. For the dual output in this example, the specification is 0.15% + 900 mV as the 0.15% is the same and the floor is twice the value (2 x 450 mV).

[1] Offsets are not allowed on ranges above the highest range shown above. [2] The maximum offset value is determined by the difference between the peak value of the selected

voltage output and the allowable maximum peak signal. For example, a 10 V peak-to-peak square wave output has a peak value of 5 V, allowing a maximum offset up to +50 V to not exceed the 55 V maximum peak signal. The maximum offset values shown above are for the minimum outputs in each range.

[3] For frequencies 0.01 to 10 Hz, and 500 kHz to 2 MHz, the offset uncertainty is 5% of output, + 1% of

the offset range.
