1-1. Introduction
The Fluke Model 5700A/5720A Series II calibrators are precise instruments that calibrate a wide variety of electrical measuring instruments. These calibrators maintain high accuracy over a wide ambient temperature range, allowing them to test instruments in any environment, eliminating the restrictions to calibrate only in a temperature­controlled standards laboratory. With a 5700A/5720A Series II, you can calibrate precision multimeters that measure ac or dc voltage, ac or dc current, and resistance. The 5720A Series II operates in a similar manner to the 5700A Series II, the difference is that the 5720A Series II has a considerably higher specified accuracy. Option 5700A-03 Wideband AC Voltage, which is available for both the 5700A Series II and the 5720A Series II, extends this workload to include rf voltmeters.
Specifications are provided at the end of this chapter. The calibrator is a fully­programmable precision source of the following:
DC voltage to 1100V
AC voltage to 1100V, with output available from 10 Hz to 1.2 MHz.
AC and DC current to 2.2A, with output available from 10 Hz to 10 kHz
Resistance in values of 1x10

The Wideband AC Voltage Module (Option 5700A-03) can be installed in both the 5700A and 5720A Series II Calibrators. The module is a high-accuracy, low-noise, extremely flat ac voltage source for calibrating rf voltmeters, with a frequency range of 10 Hz to 30 MHz. Output is in seven ranges from 300 µV (-57 dBm) to 3.5 V (+24 dBm)
through a Type-N coaxial connector into a 50 load. The output level is selected in volts or dBm through either the front panel controls or under remote control.
The wideband module also functions with the calibrator’s output adjust controls that let display the error of a wideband meter in either percentage of output or in decibels.
Included with the wideband module is a Type-N output cable and a 50 terminator. The wideband module is calibrated to the end of its standard-equipment output cable.

1-7. Auxiliary Amplifiers
The Fluke Model 5725A Amplifier is available to extend the high voltage performance and current range of the calibrator:
Interface connectors on the calibrator’s rear panel accept cables to directly operate a 5725A. Three amplifiers can be connected to the calibrator at the same time, but only one output can be active at a time. Once you have connected the amplifiers and configured the calibrator in a setup menu, amplifier operation is controlled by the calibrator.
Chapter 4 provides instructions for operating the 5725A. The general specifications at the end of this chapter include specifications for operating the calibrator with the 5725A. For other amplifier specifications, refer to their instruction manuals. Table 1-1 summarizes the extended capabilities offered by the 5725A. Brief descriptions of the extended capabilities follow.
Model Mode Range

5725A Amplifier AC V 220 to 1100V rms up to 70 mA, 40 Hz to 30 kHz

Table 1-1. Auxiliary Amplifier Data
(50 mA < 5 kHz)
1-8. 5725A Amplifier
The Fluke 5725A Amplifier is an external unit operating under calibrator control to extend ac voltage drive capabilities and both ac and dc current output range. The
amplifier adds the following capabilities to the calibrator’s 1100V ac range with no compromise in accuracy:
Frequency limits at higher voltage increase to 100 kHz at 750V, 30 kHz at 1100V.
Load limit increases to 70 mA for frequencies above 5 kHz.
Capacitive drive increases to 1000 pF, subject to the maximum output current.
Extended-performance voltage is available at the calibrator’s front or rear binding posts, eliminating the need to change cables during a procedure.
A separate set of binding posts on the front panel of the 5725A supplies extended-range ac and dc current outputs. Since most meters have a separate input terminal for the high current ranges, this eliminates the need to change cables during a procedure. The 5725A can also be configured to source all current (both standard calibrator-generated current and its own current) through the 5725A binding posts.
220 to 750V rms up to 70 mA, 30 kHz to 100 kHz
DC Amps 0 to ±11A
AC Amps 1 to 11A rms, 40 Hz to 10 kHz
