Overload Protection

The Calibrator supplies reverse-power protection, fast output disconnection, and/or fuse
protection on the output terminals for all functions.

Reverse-power protection prevents damage to the calibrator from occasional, accidental,
normal-mode, and common-mode overloads to a maximum of ±300 V peak. It is not
intended as protection against frequent (systematic and repeated) abuse. Such abuse will
cause the Calibrator to fail.

For volts, ohms, capacitance, and thermocouple functions, there is fast output
disconnection protection. This protection senses applied voltages higher than 20 volts on
the output terminals. It quickly disconnects the internal circuits from the output terminals
and resets the calibrator when such overloads occur.

For current and aux voltage functions, user replaceable fuses supply protection from
overloads applied to the Current/Aux Voltage output terminals. The fuses are accessed by
an access door on the bottom of the calibrator. You must use replacement fuses of the
same rating and type specified in this manual, or the protection supplied by the Calibrator
will be compromised.

Operation Overview

The Calibrator can be operated at the front panel or remotely with the RS-232 or IEEE-488
ports. For remote operations, software is available to integrate Product operation into a
wide variety of calibration requirements.

Local Operation

Typical local operations include front-panel connections to the UUT, and then manual
keystroke entries at the front panel to put the Calibrator in the necessary output mode.
 and  make it easy to step up or down at the push of a key. You can also examine
Calibrator specifications at the push of two buttons. The backlit LCD is easy to read from
many different angles and can be read in dim or bright light. The large, easy-to-read keys
are color-coded and give tactile feedback.

5502E

Getting Started

Remote Operation (RS-232)

There are two rear-panel serial data RS-232 ports: SERIAL 1 FROM HOST, and
SERIAL 2 TO UUT (see Figure 2). Each port is dedicated to serial-data communications
to operate and control the Product during calibration procedures. For complete
information on remote operation, see Chapter 5 of the Operators Manual.

The SERIAL 1 FROM HOST serial data port connects a host terminal or personal
computer (PC) to the Calibrator. To send commands to the Calibrator: enter commands
from a terminal (or a PC running a terminal program), write your own procedures with
BASIC, or use optional Windows-based software such as MET/CAL Plus.

The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal with the
5502A (see Figure 2). This “pass-through” configuration removes 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 rear-panel IEEE-488 port is a fully programmable parallel interface bus that
complies with standard IEEE-488.1 and supplemental standard IEEE-488.2. When the
Calibrator is used by remote control of an instrument controller, the Calibrator operates
exclusively as a “talker/listener.” You can write your own programs with the IEEE-488
command set or run the optional Windows-based MET/CAL Plus software. See
Chapter 6 of the Operators Manual for a discussion of the commands available for IEEE­488 operation.

Select Line Voltage

The Calibrator comes from the factory configured for the line voltage typically applicable
for the country of purchase, or as specified at the time of your purchase order. You can
operate the Calibrator from one of four line-voltage settings: 100 V, 120 V, 200 V, and
240 V (47 Hz to 63 Hz). To verify the line-voltage setting, note the voltage setting that
you can see through the window in the power-line fuse compartment cover (Figure 3).
The permitted line-voltage variation is 10 % above or below the line-voltage setting.

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

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury,
disconnect line power.

1. To open the fuse compartment, put a screwdriver blade in the tab on the left side of

the compartment and pry until it can be removed.

2. To remove the line-voltage selector assembly, hold the line-voltage indicator tab with

pliers and pull it straight out of its connector.

3. Turn the line-voltage selector assembly to the necessary voltage and reinsert.

Warning

4. Make sure to use the correct fuse for the selected line voltage (100 V/120 V, use

5 A/250 V slow blow, 220 V/240 V, use 2.5 A/250 V slow blow). To install the fuse
compartment, push it into position until the tab locks.

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

• Do not use a two-conductor mains power cord unless you

install a protective ground wire to the Product ground

terminal before you operate the Product.

• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

Make sure that the Product is grounded before use. The calibrator is shipped with the
correct line-power plug for the country of purchase. If it is necessary to use a different
type, refer to Table 3 and Figure 4 for a list and illustration of the line-power plug types
available from Fluke Calibration.

After you make sure that the line voltage selection is set correctly and that the correct
fuse for that line voltage is installed, connect the calibrator to a correctly-grounded
three-prong outlet.

The calibrator is shipped from the factory for nominal operation at 60 Hz line frequency.
If you use 50 Hz line voltage, reconfigure the Calibrator for optimal performance at
50 Hz. To do this:

1. From the front panel, go into SETUP, INSTMT SETUP, OTHER SETUP.

Airflow Considerations

Airflow Considerations

 Warning

For safe operation and maintenance of the Product, make sure
that the space around the Product meets minimum
requirements.

Baffles put cool air from the fan into the chassis to internally dissipate heat when the
Calibrator is in operation. The accuracy and dependability of all internal parts of the
calibrator are enhanced by a cool internal temperature. You can increase the life of the
Calibrator and enhance its performance by these rules:

• The area around the air filter must be a minimum 3 inches from close walls or rack

enclosures.

• The exhaust perforations on the sides of the Calibrator must be clear of blockage.

• The air that gets to the Calibrator must be at room temperature. Make sure the

exhaust air from other instruments does not enter into the fan inlet.

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

dusty environment. (See the “Maintenance” chapter of the Operators Manual for
instructions to clean the air filter.)

5502E

Getting Started

General Specifications

The following tables list the 5502E specifications. All specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of
30 minutes, or twice the time the 5502E has been turned off. (For example, if the 5502E 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 5502E was calibrated), the temperature coefficient as stated in the General Specifications
must be applied.

The specifications also assume the Calibrator is zeroed every seven days or whenever the ambient temperature changes
more than 5 °C. The tightest ohms specifications are maintained with a zero cal every 12 hours within ±1 °C of use.

Also see additional specifications later in this chapter for information on extended specifications for ac voltage and
current.

controlled EM environments under the following conditions. If used in
areas with Electromagnetic fields of 1 to 3 V/m from 0.08-1GHz,
resistance outputs have a floor adder of 0.508 Ω Performance not
specified above 3 V/m. This instrument may be susceptible to electro­static discharge (ESD) to the binding posts. Good static awareness
practices should be followed when handling this and other pieces of
electronic equipment. Additionally this instrument may be susceptible
to electrical fast transients on the mains terminals. If any disturbances
in operation are observed, it is recommended that the rear panel
chassis ground terminal be connected to a known good earth ground
with a low inductance ground strap. Note that a mains power outlet
while providing a suitable ground for protection against electric shock
hazard may not provide an adequate ground to properly drain away
conducted rf disturbances and may in fact be the source of the
disturbance. This instrument was certified for EMC performance with
data I/O cables not in excess of 3m.

[1] Duty Cycle: Currents <11 A may be provided continuously. For currents >11 A, see Figure 1. The current may be provided

60-T-I minutes any 60 minute period where T is the temperature in °C (room temperature is about 23 °C) and I is the output

current in amps. For example, 17 A, at 23 °C could be provided for 60-17-23 = 20 minutes each hour. When the 5502E is

outputting currents between 5 and 11 amps for long periods, the internal self-heating reduces the duty cycle. Under those

conditions, the allowable "on" time indicated by the formula and Figure 1 is achieved only after the 5502E is outputting

currents <5 A for the "off" period first.
[2] For currents >11 A, Floor specification is 4000 μA within 30 seconds of selecting operate. For operating times >30 seconds,

the floor specification is 2000 μA.
[3] For currents >11 A, Floor specification is 1000 μA within 30 seconds of selecting operate. For operating times >30 seconds,

the floor specification is 5000 μA.

[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 p-p 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.

Performance Tests

To make sure that the Product is in specification, use Tables 4 through 12. The tables are
for approved metrology personnel who have access to a standards laboratory that has the
correct equipment to test calibration equipment of this level of accuracy. The tables show
the recommended test points and the permitted maximum and lower limits for each point.
The limits were calculated by adding or subtracting the 90-day specification from the
output value. There is no built-in factor for measurement uncertainty. These performance
tests replace those found in the 5502A Operators Manual and only apply to the 5502E.
