END OF LIFE NOTICE: 55X2A Multi-Product Calibrator base units

Fluke launched an exciting new generation of high-performance multi-product calibrators in 2022, the 5540A, 5550A, and 5560A. These next-generation products will replace the existing models, 5502A and 5522A, bringing many capability enhancements and innovations to our customers.
 
This letter is to notify you that as part of our transition to these new platforms, we will be removing from sale the 5502A and 5522A calibrator models without oscilloscope option. The last order date for these models will be May 15th, 2023 and may be affected by limited supply.
 
We understand the importance of the oscilloscope calibration workload to our customers. As the oscilloscope options for the 5540A, 5550A, and 5560A are still under development, we will continue to offer the 5502A and 5522A with these options.
 
Below is a summary of the SKUs in these model groups and how they are impacted by this announcement. Please review our product information page below or reach out to your local Fluke sales representative or channel partner to confirm the right model for your needs.

END OF LIFE NOTICE: Temperature calibration bath consolidation

We are streamlining the number of standard calibration baths in our portfolio, with some models being retired. The reduction is being done to simplify our offering and to reduce product line overlap. Every bath model being retired has a suggested alternative that will satisfy most application requirements.

The listed items will be retired effective November 25, 2022. The list also contains accessories that are unique to each of the bath models being retired.

Affected models include:

  • 6330 Compact Temperature Calibration Bath
  • 7320 Compact Temperature Calibration Bath
  • 7040 Refrigerated Temperature Calibraton Bath
  • 6022 High Temperature Calibration Oil Bath

END OF LIFE NOTICE: 2638A Hydra Series III Data Acquisition System/Digital Multimeter and 2680A Series Data Acquisition Systems

Effective April 21, 2022, Fluke Calibration will cease production and sale of the 2638A Series III Data Acquisition System/Digital Multimeter and 2680A Series Data Acquisition systems, and all unique accessories that accompany these product lines. Starting April 22, 2022, the 2638A and 2680A will enter their 5-year extended support period. During this time Fluke will provide repair and calibration support. After that time, Fluke will continue to support routine calibration. However, repairs will be limited parts available beyond April 2027.

The 1586A Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner or Keithley DAQ 6510 with proper modules are suggested alternatives to the 2638A.

The Keithley DAQ 6510 with proper modules is a suggested alternative to the 2680A.

END OF LIFE NOTICE: 8845A/8846A 6.5 Digit Precision Multimeters

Effective April 21, 2022, Fluke Calibration will cease production and sale of the 8845A and 8846A multimeters, and all unique accessories that accompany these product lines. Starting April 22, 2022, the 8845A and 8846A will enter their 5-year extended support period. During this time Fluke will provide repair and calibration support. After that time, Fluke will continue to support routine calibration. However, repairs will be limited parts available beyond April 2027.

The Keithley 2100 is a suggested alternative to the 8845A.

The Keithley DMM6500 is a suggested alternative to the 8846A.


END OF LIFE NOTICE: 6003A Three Phase Electrical Power Calibrator

Effective April 2, 2021, Fluke Calibration will cease production and sale of the 6003A Three Phase Electrical Power Calibrator and all its unique and specific accessories and options. Fluke introduced this model in 2014 as a competitive calibrator capable of supplying accurate 3 phases of current and voltage. Starting April 2, 2021, the 6003A will enter its 5-year extended support period. During this time Fluke will provide repair and calibration support. After that time, Fluke will continue to support routine calibrations. However, repairs will be limited parts availability beyond April 2026.

The Fluke 6130B is the closest replacement for the 6003A. 

END OF SERVICE NOTICE: Discontinued electrical calibration products

To better serve you, we want to make you aware of some important dates regarding the end of extended service support periods for discontinued products. Fluke Calibration typically offers extended service support for five years after discontinuing a product’s manufacture. After the extended support period has passed, we can no longer guarantee full service/repair parts to be available, and therefore possibly not be able to return instruments to usable condition. 

END OF SERVICE NOTICE: 5790A AC Measurement Standard

The extended repair support period for the 5790A is ending December 31, 2020 due to severe parts availability limitations. This date is well beyond the five years of extended support Fluke Calibration offers after discontinuing a product's manufacture (End of Life). An an improved alternative and direct replacement, the Fluke 5790B is available with the same great performance you expect from the 5790A.

END OF SERVICE NOTICE: 1590 and 1575A Super Thermometer

Fluke is announcing the end of service for these obsolete versions of the Super Thermometer will take place on June 30, 2020. The 1594A and 1595A Super Thermometers are the recommended replacements for these models.

END OF SERVICE NOTICE: 5700A and 5720A Calibrators

The extended repair support period for the 5700A Series I and II and 5720A calibrators is ending June 30, 2020, due to severe parts availability limitations. This date is well beyond the five years of extended support Fluke Calibration offers after discontinuing a product's manufacture (End of Life). The 5730A Multifunction Calibrator is the enhanced replacement product for the 5700A and 5720A.

END OF LIFE NOTICE: 5800A and 5820A Calibrators

The extended repair and calibration support period for the 5800A and 5820A calibrators is ending June 30, 2020. This date is well beyond the five years of extended support Fluke Calibration offers after discontinuing a product's manufacture (End of Life). The 9500B Oscilloscope Calibrator is the enhanced replacement product for the 5800A and 5820A.

END OF LIFE NOTICE: 5320A Electrical Safety Tester Calibrator

The 5320A Electrical Safety Tester Calibrator and 5320A-LOAD will be discontinued on August 31, 2019 after serving customers for over 13 years. The 5322A Electrical Safety Tester Calibrator is the enhanced replacement product for the 5320A.

END OF LIFE NOTICE: 8508A Reference Multimeter

The 8508A Reference Multimeter will be discontinued on March 31, 2020. These models have been in production since 2002. The newly release 8588A Reference Multimeter is the enhanced replacement product for the 8508A.

Fluke 910 and 910R GPS Week Number Rollover Event

A recent notice from Homeland Security announces a GPS Week Number Rollover Event scheduled for April 6th, 2019. This event will affect the 910 and 910R products that were purchased before 2007.

On this date, at the rollover time, some units will lose date information and display a 1999 date for reporting purposes. Frequency deviation data may not be archived within the unit. This situation will not self-correct with time or power cycling and must be sent to Fluke Service for repair and calibration.

1586A Notification

It was recently discovered that the 1586A when used with a PRT that was characterized using either sub-range 6 (0.01°C to 962°C) or 7 (0.01°C to 660°C) the 1586A was not factoring in the C & D coefficients and counting them as Zeroes. This will cause errors in the calculations at temperatures above 419°C. Temperatures below 419°C are not affected. If you are using any of the other ITS-90 subranges this error will not affect your readings. We have resolved the issue and have a firmware fix.

This notification affects all units with firmware version 1.03 or lower.

For more information and issue resolution review the document here. (25-FEB-2016)

MET/TEMP II (9938) and 1594A/1595A Waiting Command Notification

Fluke Calibration is voluntarily notifying customers of a required set up procedure in order to prevent 9938 software from waiting for a command and to prevent the 159X from not sending a response, which is causing the heat source to continue heating until the cut out temperature is reached. Review document here for details. (2013)

Fluke 1523/1524 Reference Thermometers Battery Life Notification

Fluke Calibration is voluntarily notifying customers of the upgrade of all 1523/1524 Reference Thermometers with firmware revision less than 1.05. This includes all units manufactured prior to April 2012. All units being sent to a service center for repair or recalibration will automatically be upgraded to firmware revision 1.05. Review document here for details. (2013)
