Comtest Technologies, accredited southern African partner to Fluke - global leader in calibration instrumentation and software - has introduced the Fluke 5522A multi-product calibrator which is specifically designed to improve the capabilities of calibration laboratories across all industries. The 5522A, based on Fluke’s top-seller 5520A series calibrator, aims to provide daily service both inside and outside of the calibration lab because it’s durable enough to be safely transported for on-site or mobile calibration of a wide variety of electronic test tools.
The Fluke 5522A is ideal for metrology engineers, technicians and lab managers who need to calibrate many different types of electronic equipment and require a transportable instrument that delivers a high return on operators’ capital investment. For a single calibrator, the Fluke 5522A gives the flexibility to calibrate a wide range of instruments and can be fully automated with MET/CAL® Plus Calibration Management Software for greater productivity.
Several reliability-enhancing features protect it against damage and make it easier to transport for on-site or mobile calibration. Internal circuits and fuses protect against damage caused by applying too much voltage or current.
The Fluke 5522A tests a wide variety of industrial electronic test tools, including:
- Handheld and bench meters (analog and digital) up to 6 • digits
- Current clamps and clamp meters
- Thermocouple and RTD thermometers
- Process calibrators
- Data loggers
- Strip and chart recorders
- Watt meters
- Power harmonics analyzers
- Panel meters
- Graphical multimeters
- Power quality analyzers (with option)
- Analog or digital oscilloscopes to 600 MHz or 1.1 GHz (with options)
pressure gauges and transducers and three-phase power meters
The 5522A provides reverse power protection, immediate output disconnection, and/or fuse protection on the output terminals for all functions, making the unit virtually mistake proof, especialy in instances where too much voltage is accidently applied usually resulting in costly damage.
The Fluke 5522A sources direct voltage and current, alternating voltage and current with multiple waveforms and harmonics, two simultaneous voltage outputs or voltage and current to simulate dc and ac power with phase control, resistance, capacitance, thermocouples and RTDs. It can also measure thermocouple temperature signals, and a wide range of pressures using any of 29 Fluke 700 Series pressure modules. Two options add the capability to calibrate oscilloscopes with bandwidths to either 600 MHz or 1.1 GHz. Another option enables the 5522A to calibrate power quality instrumentation to the standards of the IEC and other regulatory agencies.
