LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is three years and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.

Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination).

Calibration Manual

Read First – Safety Information

In this calibration manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Calibrator or the test instruments.

XWWarnings

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

•

DO NOT use the Calibrator if it looks damaged.

•

Follow all safety procedures for the test and calibration equipment you use.

•

Examine the Calibrator before use. Look for cracks in the case, missing plastic, or damaged insulation around the connectors.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check for

test lead continuity. Replace damaged test leads as necessary.

• Do not use the Calibrator if it operates abnormally. Protection may be

impaired. When in doubt, have the instrument serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Calibrator,

between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Never touch the probes to a voltage source when the test leads are plugged

into the current terminals.

• Select the proper function and range for each measurement.

• Disconnect the test leads before changing to another measure or source

function.

• When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

• Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Connect the common lead (COM) before connecting the live test lead. When

disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

• Always place the 5520A calibrator in Standby (STBY) mode between tests

and before handling the test connections or cables.

• Remove test leads from the Calibrator before opening the battery door.

• Do not operate the Calibrator around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

• During normal operation, only use four properly installed AA batteries to

power the Calibrator.

• Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before you operate the

Calibrator.

• During calibration, use only specified calibration equipment listed in

Table 6.

Cleaning the Calibrator

XWWarning

To avoid electric shock or damage to the Calibrator, never allow water inside the Calibrator’s case.

If the Calibrator requires cleaning, wipe it down with a cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent.

Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, or methanol-based fluids when cleaning the Calibrator. To avoid damaging the case, never apply solvents to the Calibrator.

Replacing the Batteries

XWWarning

To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads from the Calibrator before opening the battery door. Close and latch the battery door before using the Calibrator.

To avoid false readings, which can lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (

B) appears.

When replacing the batteries, always use four new AA batteries. Never mix new and used batteries in the Calibrator.

Calibrators

Fuses

Four AA alkaline batteries (ANSI/NEDA 15A or IEC LR6) are used to power the Calibrator. To replace the batteries, refer to Figure 1 and do the following:

1. Turn the Calibrator off, remove the test leads from the terminals, and hold the

Calibrator face down.

2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the battery door screws 1/4-turn

counterclockwise and remove the battery door.

3. Remove the batteries, then install new batteries. Be sure to follow the polarity

markings shown in the battery compartment.

4. Replace the battery door and secure it by turning the screws 1/4-turn clockwise.

Fuses

Over time, the input protection has been modified to increase reliability. There will either be self-resetting fuses, or replaceable fuses in sockets. The self-resetting fuses open when heated by a current overload, and close when they cool down. When an input’s fuse is open, the input’s functions will not work.

Figure 1. Replacing the Batteries and Replaceable Fuses

XWWarning

To avoid electrical shock:

• Remove the test leads from the calibrator before opening the

battery door. Close and latch the battery door before using the calibrator.

• Use only the specified replacement fuses listed under

“Replaceable Parts”.

• Do not allow water into the case.

aal01f.eps

724/725/726

Calibration Manual

The time required for a self-resetting fuse to reset depends on the magnitude of the overload. If a self-resetting fuse does not reset, return the Calibrator to an authorized service center for repair.

If a replaceable fuse has been damaged, it needs to be replaced. The fuses can be removed and checked for resistance. A value of < 10 Ω is good.

The calibrator comes equiped with three 0.2 A 250 V socketed fuses.

• Problems while measuring with the right jacks indicate that F3 may have opened.

• Problems while measuring

or sourcing with the center jacks or the TC jacks

indicate that F2 may have opened.

• If you can’t measure or source current with the left jacks, F4 may have opened.

To access the fuses, refer to instructions under “Replacing the Batteries”. The fuse compartment is located below the battery compartment. Use needle-nosed pliers to remove them and test them with a multimeter. Replace the fuse with the proper replacement fuse and follow the directions for reassembling the Calibrator. Refer to Figure 1.

Remote Control Interface (725 and 726)

The Calibrator’s serial interface and remote control commands let you use a PC to remotely select Calibrator functions and read the Calibrator’s display. This remote interface is especially useful if you want to write your own calibration software.

The 726 remote control interface is always active.

To activate the 725 remote control interface, proceed as follows:

1. Turn off the UUT; then use the Fluke 700SC serial interface cable to connect the

UUT to a serial port on the PC.

2. Start the terminal communication software on the PC. Create a new connection with

the following properties:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

• Local echo on

3. Hold down the Calibrator’s M button while turning the Calibrator on.

4. Use the commands given in Tables 2 through 4 to remotely control the Calibrator.
