The Fluke 732C DC Voltage Reference Standard is a portable, battery-powered voltage source for disseminating and maintaining DC reference standards in primary and secondary calibration laboratories. It delivers three selectable output voltages—10 V, 1 V, and 0.1 V DC—each traceable to national standards and the Fluke Calibration 10 V Josephson Array. Engineered for field portability and laboratory stability, the 732C combines long battery runtime with temperature-stable outputs and comprehensive power options for continuous or mobile operation.
Technical Specifications
Output Voltages & Stability
• 10 V DC: ±2 µV/V per year (Base models); ±1 µV/V per year (Select models)
• 1 V DC: ±3 µV/V per year
