5700A/EP Upgrade

40% improvement in uncertainty specifications

Give your 5700A the performance you need to quickly, easily and reliably meet your most demanding dc and low frequency ac calibration workload, including dmms up to 8½ digits.

Extensive upgrades and replacements

Extensive hardware and firmware upgrades and replacements bring your 5700A up to the latest production configuration.

Choice of 99% or 95% confidence levels on specifications

You can trade a small amount of risk for lower uncertainties, and simplify the intercomparisons of measurements by using the internationally accepted and more aggressive 95% confidence specifications. Or use the conservative 99% specifications Fluke Calibration traditionally publishes. Both are available, after the upgrade, at the press of the SPEC key on the calibrator's front panel.

Additional emulation of the 5200A AC Calibrator in automated systems

With the upgrade, you can replace the now obsolete 5200A in automated systems with minimal changes to your software.

New front panel screen saver

A new screen saver for the front panel message display extends the display life.

How the upgrade process works

Due to the rigorous stability testing required, normal turn-around time for the upgrade process is six to eight weeks. Upon placing your order, a Fluke Calibration service representative will contact you to schedule your 5700A into the upgrade facility. Approximately one week prior to your scheduled date, you will receive a shipping container for returning your 5700A to Fluke Calibration.

Once your calibrator arrives at Fluke Calibration, the upgrade proceeds in three phases:
1. All outstanding engineering changes (PCNs) are made. The upgraded hardware is installed, along with new firmware. Nearly one-third of the 5700A's modules are replaced, including the vacuum fluorescent displays and front panel key pad. A label indicating that the 5700A/EP upgrade has been installed is affixed to the calibrator rear panel.
2. Your unit is sent to the stability station where it is monitored for three weeks.
3. Final test calibration and verification is performed at the 5720A production line, and the unit is packaged for return shipment to you.

Note: If your 5700A is not in working condition, the cost of any required repairs will be estimated in advance.
