Overload Protection

Operation Overview

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 capacity and type specified in this manual, or the protection supplied by the Calibrator will be compromised.

The 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 5522A operation into a wide variety of calibration requirements.

Local Operation

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 Calibrator specifications at the push of two buttons. 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.

Remote Operation (IEEE-488)

The Calibrator 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 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 Operators Manual for a discussion of the commands available for IEEE-488 operation.)

Multi-Product Calibrator

Operation Overview

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 for operating and controlling the 5522A during calibration procedures. For complete information on remote operations, see Chapter 5 in the Operators Manual.

The SERIAL 1 FROM HOST serial data port connects a host terminal or personal computer to the Calibrator. You have several choices for sending commands to the Calibrator: you can enter commands from a terminal (or a PC running a terminal program), 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 5522A can calibrate. (See Chapter 6 in the Operators Manual for a discussion of the RS232 commands.)

The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal via the 5522A (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 in the Operators Manual for a discussion of the UUT_* commands. The SERIAL 2 TO UUT port is also used to connect to the Fluke 700 Series Pressure Modules.

XW Warning

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

• Connect an approved three-conductor mains power cord to

a grounded power outlet.

• Make sure that the Product is grounded before use.

• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

The calibrator is shipped with the appropriate line power plug for the country of purchase. If you need a different type, refer to Table 3 and Figure 4 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 three-prong outlet.

The calibrator is shipped from the factory for nominal operation at 60 Hz line frequency. If you are using 50 Hz line voltage, you should re-configure the 5522A for optimal performance at 50 Hz. To do so, from the front panel, go into SETUP, INSTMT SETUP, OTHER SETUP, and then push the softkey under MAINS to change to 50 Hz. Store the change. After the instrument is properly warmed up (on for 30 minutes or longer), you must re-zero the complete instrument. For details, see the section on “Zeroing the Calibrator” in Chapter 4.

General Specifications

The following tables list the 5522A specifications. All specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5522A has been turned off. (For example, if the 5522A 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 5522A 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.

For example, 17 A, at 23 °C could be provided for 60-17-23 = 20 minutes each hour. When the 5522A 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 B is achieved only after the 5522A is outputting currents <5 A for the "off" period first.

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 5522A 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 B is achieved only after the 5522A is outputting currents <5 A for the "off" period first.

Additional Specifications

The following paragraphs provide additional specifications for the 5522A Calibrator ac voltage and ac current functions. These specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5522A has been turned off. All extended range specifications are based on performing the internal zero-cal function at weekly intervals, or when the ambient temperature changes by more than 5 °C.
