All the functions you need

The 5500E has a wide range of outputs available from a single calibration source. These include dc and ac voltages up to 1020 V, dc and ac currents up to 550 A (using the 5500A/COIL, 50 turn current coil accessory) and variable resistances up to 330 MΩ. The 5500E also provides continuously variable capacitance values up to 1.1 mF. For temperature calibration applications, thermocouples and RTDs are simulated and thermocouple signals can be measured. It also generates digitally synthesized extended bandwidth sine, truncated sine, triangle and square waveforms. The 5500E gives you broad workload coverage in one economically priced package.

Easy-to-use operation

While the Fluke 5500E calibrator helps you do more work, it also makes it easier to get work done. Its intuitive design makes operating it as natural as turning on a light switch, reducing references to the manual. For most tasks, your hand moves from the left to right, keeping you from having to make long, illogical or uncomfortable movements. Most functions require minimal keystrokes. The 5500E is also easy on your budget because no additional fixtures are needed and you can use it with conventional test leads.

Automate calibration for documented, consistent efficiency

With quality management standards like ISO 9000, there is a lot more to calibration than just making measurements. You also have documentation, control and reporting requirements to meet. Optional Microsoft Windows?-based Fluke metrology software simplifies the documentation of your procedures, adequacy and traceability. It also collects and reports calibration results information and helps you to consistently, quickly and efficiently calibrate a wide variety of instruments. With it your entire calibration process—from creating and executing procedures through results data collection and reporting—can be automated. Automated metrology is done by using a suite of applications called MET/CAL? Plus Calibration Management Software. Used with the MET/BASE-7 metrology database, the 5500/CAL-L license provides RS-232 instrument control and operates with the Fluke 5500A, 5520A, and 5800A calibrators in addition to the 5500E. If you need IEEE instrument control or want to automate the calibration of additional instruments, you can step up to GIPB based instrument control with the MET/CAL-L license.
