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.

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.
