For further information contact your representative or HAFEELY directly. 7 Surge 7.1 General information Please read carefully the Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 in detail before first use of the Surge generator.
7.2.1 Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) Figure 7-1 Open circuit voltage (OCV) [1] Front time: T1 = 1,67 x T = 1,2µs ± 30% Time to half value: T2 = 50µs ± 20% Verification of the Surge output signal (HI and COM) in the front view can be done with the help of the in capture 15.2.1 described PDP 8000.
Test requirements must be achieved by the user according to the IEC 61000-4-5 norm. The safety standards as written in Table 1-1 must be unconditionally fulfilled, when operating the AXOS In the next step, the user selects either the pre-compliance or the standard operation mode. The Figure 7-3: Surge Standard mode and Figure 7-4: Surge pre-compliance mode reflects either of the appliance modes.
Page 38
For instance, in the Standard Mode after selecting the peak voltage field, the numeric display appears as shown in Figure 6-5. In a similar way works the repetition rate and the number of surge. Awareness is to give for line synchronization; hence, it has been described more detailed in the capture 6.3.4.
Acoustic signal when test ends 7.2.5 Transition The Figure 7-8: SURGE transition mode reflects the transition window of the AXOS . The “alternative polarity” makes possible to switch between positive and negative impulses. Alternate polarity, peak voltage and phase can be selected and parameter entered. It is only possible to select phase in either external synchronization or synchronization mode.
“peak voltage” sets the user through the touch screen in the main operating window. In “external trigger” the signal for the trigger comes from an external source and gets connected via PIN 11 in the AUX input at the rear view of the AXOS 7.2.7...
For the magnetic field the coil gets connected directly via banana plug to the surge output HI and COM as written in position 6 and Position 7 in Figure 6-1 Axos Front view. Only these outputs can be used for the Surge impulse.
Figure 8-2: Magnetic field Standard mode When “Line” button pushed, “EUT Supply Input” connected with L, N, PE front view and in the right corner the plug flashes red. After pushing the “Start” button the surge impulse gets applied. In Figure 8-3: Magnetic field charging is the Surge impulse proceeding.

CDN the polarity becomes important. It can be select either between the Hi and COM output or the coupling network (Position 9,10,11 in Figure 6-1 Axos Front view). Furthermore, 3 phase CDN, likely the FP SURGE100M2 or FP-COMB 32 can be chosen.
Test requirements must be achieved by the user according to the IEC 61000-4-12 norm. The safety standards as written in Table 1-1 must be unconditionally fulfilled, when operating the AXOS In the next step, the user selects either the pre-compliance or the standard operation mode. The Figure 9-2: Ring Wave Standard mode and Figure 9-3: Ring Wave pre-compliance mode reflects either of the appliance modes.
In Pre-Compliance Mode, the parameter values can be changed in set increments with the use of arrow keys or by pressing the number between the arrow keys. Pressing the number between the arrow keys will bring up the numeric display shown in Figure 9-4: Ring Wave peak voltage. Figure 9-4: Ring Wave peak voltage After values entered, the start button can be pushed and the window Figure 9-3: Ring Wave pre- compliance mode opens up, if selected pre-compliance mode.

Electrical Fast Transient Burst 11.1 General information The Burst generator generates Electrical Fast Transient Bursts (EFT) as described in IEC 61000- 4-4. The source impedance of the generator is 50 Ω. The burst is a common mode transient, coupled simultaneously to all selected paths with respect to ground. It can be selected between using the coaxial output or the built in mains coupling network.
Page 58
Figure 11-1: EFT/BURST Standard mode By pressing at each particular value, a new parameter (Figure 11-1: EFT/BURST Standard mode) can be entered. Then confirming with “OK” and the parameter will be written in the standard test mode. In Addition it can be immediately selected between kV and V. Figure 11-2: EFT/BURST peak voltage configuration The following graphic represents the pre-compliance mode.
In Burst testing mode every line signal gets tested against GND (PE). In direct output the signals stands on the position 8 in Figure 6-1 Axos Front view. It gets connected directly to the EUT or will be used for verification of the Burst waveform. Furthermore, it can be connected to three- phase test CDN.

0°to 359°. However, if no power supply is connected to the EUT supply input at the rear view, it has to be entered “Async.”, otherwise it is impossible to get a Burst waveform in the output. In external synchronization, the output with the position 8 Figure 6-2 Axos back pannel in the rear view is in use.
Voltage dips & interrupts 12.1 General information For the voltage dips & interrupts only the EUT will be connected via the line outputs (L, N, PE) in the front view. The EUT Supply Input (L, N, PE) in the rear view gets connected to the power supply.
To create the Voltage dips an external transformer is necessary, because a second voltage level is required. When purchasing the DIP 116 from the HAEFELY AG the position 5 at the rear view graphic can be used. The Figure 12-2: DIP 116 Transformer connected gets displayed when DIP 116 is successfully connected.
12.3.1 Transformer DIP 116 The HAEFELY AG DIP 116 transformer will be connected through the V Dip and the Link input at the rear view of the AXOS . The DIP 116 has an independent connection to an external power supply via banana plug.
Then V dip 0%, 40%, 70% and 80% in reference to U1 nominal. Only with the DIP 116 the proportional voltage adjustment through the menu is possible. The second main advantage will be reflected in the compatibility of the transformer with the AXOS compact immunity tester.
Alarm, Test Stop or test stop & line off) Line Current Limits the current (L, N, PE front view) to the EUT. Due to EUT fails, AXOS cause an action Action: Ignore, Alarm, Test stop, Test stop & which can be: Ignore, Alarm, Test Stop, Test line off Stop &...
