1.1 General
Welcome to the unique design and concept of modularity designed by HAEFELY.
HAEFELY is recognizing an increasing interest in testing departments to configure the required
functions in compact immunity test systems more flexible than ever. For that reason HAEFELY
designed a unique concept of modularity which eviscerates large additional investments for
customers in the future.
Moreover, constantly reduced product development times call for powerful, easy-to-operate and
ready-to-use conducted immunity test systems which can be expanded in a multitude of different
test applications. Customer requirements, particularly in the telecommunications and industrial
electronics sector, emphasize a test system‘s accuracy and modularity, thus clearly pointing to
easy to expand T&M equipment that is favourably priced and suitable for most of industries.
The AXOS series has been tailored to exactly meet these requirements, offering special cost
advantages for T&M applications in the development, production and servicing of
telecommunications, components as well as safety and industrial electronics.
All AXOS test systems come equipped with all the hardware needed for instant upgrades by only
entering optional key codes into the licence code manager of the unit. After entering the key
code(s) the additional test functionalities like Surge Combination Wave, Ring Wave, Telecom
Wave, EFT/Burst or Voltage Dips and Interrupts become available immediately. No direct
intervention has to be done by the user at all.
1.1.1 Basic Device Information
The AXOS compact immunity test system integrates all of the best pieces of our stand alone test
systems into one single economic solution.
The AXOS5and AXOS8 combines 5 kV Burst/EFT, Surge combination wave, AC/DC Dips &
Interrupts, along with an integrated single-phase coupling / decoupling network into one compact
system. This allows for quick and completely automated testing to the most common IEC
standards.
The AXOS8add Surge combination wave 7kV, Ring Wave 7 kV, Telecom Wave (10/700) 7kV,
AC/DC Dips & Interrupts, as well as Magnetic field.
AXOS can either be operated via front panel by the 7” touch screen graphical user interface (GUI)
or remotely from the PC. The unit also has a built in test library, according to the IEC Standards,
which makes testing easy, reliable and repeatable
All the test parameters can be varied in a broad range. Together with the ability of changing test
parameters during test, AXOS8 is not only the ideal product for compliance and pre-compliance
testing, it is useful for monitoring & debugging function during design phase.

10
Introduction
A wide range of cost-efficient and user friendly coupling / decoupling networks for power lines as
well as for symmetrical and asymmetrical data- and signal-lines are available as options.
The Figure 1-1: Axos5and Axos8Start display shows the starting menu of the AXOS. Test is
selected through the touch screen by pressing the corresponding icon (Surge, EFT/Burst, Voltage
Dips, Magnetic field, Ring Wave and Telecom Wave).
If the expandable version of AXOS is acquired, Only the Burst test is available. Other icons are
disable (light grey) and can only be enable via key code upgrade.
Figure 1-1: Axos5and Axos8Start display
After selecting one of the functions as shown in the Figure 2-1, there are generally two operating
modes of the menu available. Only in pre-compliance is it possible to change parameters even
though the equipment is under test. In addition, by pressing a function parameter a basic
description gets open and describes the characteristic of it. The values can be directly specified
as for each criteria necessary. The same is possible in standard operating mode.
Additionally Ipeak and Upeak to the EUT get displayed on the screen.
It is possible to come back from every application to the start menu as shown in Figure 2-1, when
pressing the “home” button. Any test procedure stops immediately.
The LED on every output & coupling paths is lit when specific line output paths have been
selected.

3.1 General
Safety is the responsibility of the user. Always operate the equipment in
accordance with the instructions, always paying full attention to local safety
practices and procedures.
This equipment must be operated only by trained and competent personnel who
are aware of the dangers and hazards involved in high-voltage-testing and other
HV-apparatus. HAEFELY accepts no liability for loss, damage, injury or death
caused by the incorrect or unsafe operation of this equipment.
General Safety is the most important aspect when working on or around high voltage electrical
equipment. Personnel whose working responsibilities involve testing and maintenance of the
various types of high voltage equipment must have understood the safety rules in the manual and
the associated safety practices specified by their company, national and regional regulations.
Company, national or regional regulations must be fulfilled beyond HAEFELY recommendations.
This system produces hazardous voltages that can causes in shocks, burns or death. It is the
responsibility of the personnel to ensure that the system is operated in a safe manner.
HAEFELY and its sales partners refuse to accept any responsibility for consequential or direct
damage to persons and/ or goods due to none observance of instructions contained herein or
due to incorrect use of the equipment.
3.1.1 Five basic safety regulations
At any entering or working with high voltage systems always consider the five basic safety
regulations:
1) Disconnect mains!
2) Prevent reconnection!
3) Test for absence of harmful voltages!
4) Ground and short circuit!
5) Cover or close off nearby live parts!
After high voltage tests have been performed the first thing during entering high voltage parts are
should be grounded. A manual ground rod has to be used. In some configurations a recurring
voltage on capacitor can appear also after earthing. In these cases a second ground rod can help
to reduce that risk.

16
Safety
3.1.2 Ground Connections
The ground connections between the different components of the system have to be made without
forming loops (copper-foil or copper-braid) and in best case in star connection. The ground
connection should be low inductive and able to carry the continuous short-circuit current.
3.1.3 Test Area
Never operate the system in an explosive environment or where flammable gases
or fumes are exciting.
A good test area can enter a separate grounding. This ensures that no disturbances from
surrounding machines enter the test field. It is necessary for the test field to have a lower
grounding resistance than the surrounding building.
The test area has to be equipped with an adequate security circuit. Also an appropriate shielding
and protection against the high voltage parts and terminals has to be installed.
In the test area minimum one manual ground rod has to be installed. It should be placed nearby
the entrance of the test area.
3.1.4 Mains Connection
Connection of the system to a supply voltage outside the specified operating
range will result in damage to the system along with the risk of injury and fire.
3.1.5 Cleaning and Maintenance
For cleaning and maintenance work it has to be ensured that all parts are
disconnected from any mains supply. Always use grounding rods when entering
the test area. Use the emergency stop.
Never open a cover or a case before having disconnected the power supply. Always pay full
attention to the safety rules (especial on hazardous voltages).
Unauthorized opening of the equipment may damage the system or the EMC protection. It may
also cause the equipment to be no longer compliant with the relevant standards and susceptibility
requirements. If the equipment has been opened, the calibration can be rendered invalid.
HAEFELY and its sales partners accept no liability for loss, damage, injury or death caused by
the incorrect or unsafe operation of this instrument.

Safety
17
3.1.6 Health Notes
This system produces hazardous voltages that can cause shocks, burns or death.
During operation high electric and magnetic fields can occur. The fields can affect to your health.
Different measures can help here to reduce the risk (example: shielding against the fields,
increase of the distance to the high voltage system, duration of the test, lower voltage/ current
levels).
Some system configurations produce loud or monotonous noises. Different measures can help
here to reduce the noise (example: acoustic shielding, ear protection, increase of the distance to
the high voltage system, duration of the test, lower voltage/ current levels).
People with heart pacemakers should not be in the vicinity of the system during operation.
3.1.7 Device Particular safety notes
The earth connection of the AXOS must be connected to a good earth.
If trigger is pressed without connection to earth, electrical shock may occur!
Remove all external connection cables before removing any covers.
Do not open any system modules, they contains no user replaceable parts.
Never touch the Equipment Under Test (EUT), when the AXOS is operating.
Establish a safety barrier around the test setup (Close the circuit pin 4 and pin 5 in
Table 5-3).
If any part of the AXOS is damaged or it is possible that damage has occurred, for
example during transportation, do not switch on the unit.
Before changing the mains fuse, remove the mains power cord. Fuses should only
be replaced with the same type and value.
When applying Magnetic field, do not touch the coil when test is running. Only
direct output HI and COM must be used to connect the coil. The coil loop (from HI
till COM) must be closed..
Never connect a supply voltage directly to the HI/COM surge outputs. This will
damage the unit!!!. Always use a suitable CDN

18
Safety
3.2 Training and Education
The customer is responsible that the persons, which work with the system, are trained and
educated in operation and safety for that. Only trained persons are allowed to work with the
system. The training has to be repeated in regular intervals. The training has to be documented.
The safety is the responsible of the operators. When working on high voltage system, at least two
persons must always be present, one of them bears responsibility for the system and the
performed tests. The second person is the role of the safety observer.
Non-test related persons who are working in proximity to the area where testing is performed
must be informed. Consistent visual and verbal signals should be agreed and followed.
Operator:
The person who makes the test, connections and operates the system. He must be able to have
a clear view of the device under test and the area where the test is performed.
Safety Observer:
The person who is responsible for observing the performance of the test, seeing any safety hazard
and giving warning to people.
