Calibrate a Fluke 51 Thermometer
The Fluke 51 Thermometer measures temperature using a type J or K thermocouple. The Calibrator
simulates both thermocouples, simplifying testing and calibration. This section demonstrates how the
Calibrator is used to calibrate this thermometer.
Note
These procedures are included here as an example. The Model 51 Service Manual contains
the authoritative testing and calibration procedures.
Verification Procedure
Conduct this test only after the thermometer has had time to stabilize to an ambient temperature of
23 °C ±5 °C (73 °F ±9 °F).
1. Connect the Fluke 51 Thermometer to the Calibrator using the appropriate connection cable
). The connection cable and miniconnector material must match the thermocouple type.
For example, if testing a K thermocouple, the cable and miniconnector are for a type K
thermocouple.

softkey.
4. Enter the Calibrator settings listed in Table
and verify that performance is within specification.
