Fluke 5700A-03 Calibrator

The 5700A and 5720A are five-function calibrators designed to address the most demanding electrical calibration workload. They source direct and alternating voltage and current and resistance. A wideband voltage option extends overall ac bandwidth to 10 Hz to 30 MHz to cover to RF voltmeters. Both are compatible with the 5725A, 5220A and 5205A/5215A amplifiers.

Features

In service since 1988, the 5700A has undergone continuous improvements to become the 5700A Series II, one of the most tested and reliable high precision calibrators Fluke has ever produced. Considered the calibration standard worldwide, the 5700A delivers high value as well as accuracy covering 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 digit dmms. Plus it offers the same ease of use, low cost of ownership, rugged design, simplified support and confidence building features as the 5720A.

Specifications for both the 5700A and 5720A are stated with a choice of confidence levels. Now, you can use the conservative 99% specifications that Fluke traditionally publishes, or more aggressive 95% specifications recommended in many international procedures. In addition to allowing you to trade a small amount of risk for better performance, 95% confidence level specifications allow easier measurement intercomparisons. Both specifications are available at a press of the SPEC key for any output.

Both the 5700A and 5720A can emulate, via the remote interface, either a 5100B or 5200A calibrator, permitting them to replace those older calibrators in automated systems with little or no impact on software. In addition, it is compatible with the 5725A Amplifier, 5220A Transconductance Amplifier and 5205A or 5215A Precision Power Amplifiers.

Both the 5700A and the 5720A feature Artifact Calibration. Only three artifact standards _ a 10V dc reference and 1W and 10 kW resistance references are required to calibrate all ranges and functions to full specifications. Front panel instructions prompt the operator to make connections and inputs each step of the way. The calibrator controls the process, which takes only about an hour, compared to several hours using traditional methods.

During the process, assigned values of an external artifact are transferred to a large array of multidimensional parameters within the 5720A. The calibrator takes over the manual metrology functions of establishing ratios and making comparisons, as well as controlling the measurement process.

To assure confidence, the 5700A and 5720A can check themselves against their own internal standards to assure everything is working as expected. Those results can be printed out or downloaded to a computer.

Thousands of 5700A calibrators in service around the world prove Artifact Calibration delivers fast, easy and inexpensive calibration along with the confidence that your instrument is performing as expected between calibrations.
