2 Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations In the manual, the following conventions are used: Indicates a hint or a matter of note - if it refers to a sequence of operations, failure to follow the instructions may result in measurement errors. Indicates hazards.
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.
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.
Dangerous mains voltage or high voltages are present inside the FP-COMB 32. The earth connection on the rear panel of the FP-COMB 32 must be connected to a good earth. If FP-COMB 32 is connected to mains without connection to earth, electrical shock may occur! Remove all external connection cables before removing any covers.
If any part of the FP-COMB 32 is damaged or it is possible that damage has occurred, do not switch on the unit. Example: transportation damage. Before opening any units remove the mains power cord. Before changing the mains fuse, remove the mains power cord.

In General waveforms are specified as open circuit voltage (OCV) and short circuit current (SCC). The Surge is applied directly from the AXOS surge outputs to FP-COMB 32’s HI and COM inputs. For a detailed description of this standard please read the topic “test instrumentation” in the IEC 61000-4-5 norm.

• If the three-phase mode is selected FP-COMB 32 checks if the phases are connected in the right order and displays an error message if two phases are swapped. If this is the case swap any two phases at the “EUT supply input” on the rear panel and restart the test.
The ringwave feature is only available with AXOS8 FP-COMB 32 is able to couple Ringwave impulses in accordance to the IEC 61000-4-12 ed.2 and ANSI C62.41 norms. Test level up to 7 kV is defined. It can be selected between an impedance of 12 Ohm and 30 Ohm on AXOS’...

In the next under captures are descriptions of our additional verification equipment for AXOS and FP-COMB 32. If further information required of any of the equipment, please either contact your sales representatives or the HAEFELY TEST AG technical support team directly.
9.1.3 Electrical fast transient/Burst The HAEFELY EFT Verification Kit includes a 50 Ω and 1000 Ω attenuator as required in the IEC 61000-4-4 standard. The appropriate attenuator is fitted to the “Burst” coaxial output, and an oscilloscope is then connected to the output of the attenuator. For measuring the waveform at the output of the coupling filter, single phase and three phase adapters are available.
9.1.4 Burst verification adapter Additionally, an EFT verification adapter is available for testing of every single phase (L, N, PE front view from AXOS8). It gets connected with the PE pin and every single phase (L1, L2, L3, N, PE Figure 5-1).The BNC output of the burst adapter is then connected to the oscilloscope. Do not connect “EUT Supply Input”...
Calibration period of the FP-COMB 32 has to be determined by the user, and depends on the intensity of use and end user requirements. However, it is recommended every 2 years. The FP- COMB 32 is factory calibrated before shipped and supplied with the calibration certificate in accordance to ISO 9001 management standard.
9.5 Spare Parts Basically, only original replacement parts can be used. HAEFELY can obtain original or equivalent replacement parts. For an efficient work, the customer support needs the following system specific information: • Project number of the system • Client’s name •...
9.7 Support Software Updates HAEFELY runs an Internet Update webpage where owners of our test instruments can download the latest firmware, software, manuals, related information etc. The HAEFELY update page can be reached after log in: http://www.haefely.com/ Technical Support If persistent problems or faulty operation should occur, please contact the Customer Support Department of HAEFELY or your local agent.
Transport and Storage 10.1 Transport and Packaging The packing of the equipment provides satisfactory protection for normal transport conditions. Nevertheless, care should be taken when transporting the equipment. If return of the equipment is necessary, and the original packing crate is no longer available, then packing of an equivalent standard or better should be used.
Disposal, Recycling and Onward Transfers When the equipment reaches the end of its working life it can, if required, be disassembled and recycled. No special instructions are necessary for dismantling. The instrument is constructed of metal parts (mostly aluminium) and synthetic materials. It might contain batteries (see the product specification).
