A Note to Begin Thank you for choosing the Haefely AXOS . Please take a little time to read through this user manual and familiarize yourself with the instrument controls and some potential dangers. We hope you have many productive years of operation from the AXOS Compact Immunity Test System .
1 Safety 1.1 General Safety Information Significant: Please read carefully the safety requirements before using the AXOS This warning sign is visible on the equipment. Meaning: The documentation must be consulted before connecting the equipment to any voltage supply Dangerous mains voltage or high voltages are present inside the AXOS The earth connection of the AXOS must be connected to a good earth.

4 Initial operation 4.1 Visual check During transport AXOS may be subjected to excessive shocks and vibrations, even though every care is taken by HAEFELY Test AG to provide suitable packaging. Before operating the unit, check for signs of mechanical damage. Damaged packing cases may by a sign of transport damage.
Inside the AXOS, there are filter capacitors connected between L-PE and N-PE, as required by the standard. These capacitors will cause a residual current, which will trip the residual current circuit breaker. Hence, an isolation transformer needs to be inserted between main power supply and "EUT Supply Input" as shown in Figure 4-1 below.

However, through the “Setup” menu predefined programs can be loaded and applied via an external “start/stop” device. There get controlled though Pin 7 in Table 5-3. When particular file has been selected, it must be confirmed with “load”. Figure 5-5: File selection Internal/Standard Note: When file wants to be applied and started without any external signal parameter, it must be selected inside the specific modus (e.g.
Please read carefully the Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 in detail before first use of the Surge generator. The short voltage impulse stays on the EUT during several µs. The peak voltage gets with the Axos5 up to 5 kV. The generator fulfils the requirements according to the IEC 61000-4-5 norm.
6.2.2 Short Circuit Current (SCC) Figure 6-2: Short circuit current (SCC) [1] Front time: T1 = 1,25 x T = 8 µs ± 20% Time to half value: T2 = 20 µs ± 20% For verification of the output signal, a current transformer must be connected between position 6 and position 7 as shown in Figure 5-1.

In the Figure 6-4 it shows the use of the pre-compliance mode. Indeed, every parameter can be changed by simply pressing on the black bows next to the value. Furthermore, it can be changed between direct and line output. All data entries can be done while the generator is operating.
The safety symbol, the direct output and the output voltage and output current are displayed. In addition, the user is able to see nominal values of the peak voltage, reputation time and the synchronization period. Additionally, these values can be modified while the test is proceeding. It happens by simply pressing each particular function. The test stops when pushing the “STOP”...
Position Description External (Pin11 on Aux) External condition (e.g. device or PLC signal), the position becomes 1 and causes an action (Ignore, Alarm, Test Stop or test stop & line off) Line Current Limits the current (L, N, PE front view) to the EUT. Peak voltage It defines an area (min.
6.3.5 Synchronization AC To synchronize the surge signal with the main supply source it is necessary to adjust in the menu “Synchronization” and then “Line Sync.”. Further adjustments of the angle can be done in a range from 0° to 359° . However, if no power supply is connected to the EUT input at the rear view, it has to be entered “Async.”, otherwise it is impossible to get a Surge impulse of the generator.
7 Magnetic field 7.1 General Information The test setup is described in accordance to the norm IEC 61000-4-9. A SCC waveform will be created. 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 5-1.
“Rep.Data”. However, first connect device to USB port. 7.1.1 Coil antenna When the AXOS5 has started, the setup menu contains a standard predefined coil in accordance to IEC 61000-4-9. It can be up to 10 different coil factors added to the menu.
7.1.2 Transition In “Transition” (Figure 7-5) the user can adjust the “Field Strength”, “Sync. Phase” and “Alternative Polarity”. The description from capture 6.3.3 is valid, except “peak voltage” has been changed to “field strength”. The other parameters stay equal, since an OCC will be applied to the coil antenna and is basically a Surge impulse. Figure 7-5: Magnetic field transition When all parameters has been entered then simply confirming with ok and in the menu is showing “transition on”, this indicates the settings will be applied to the coil antenna when pushing the “start”...
8 Electrical Fast Transient Burst 8.1 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 . The burst is a common mode transient, coupled simultaneously to all selected paths with respect to ground.
The following graphic represents the pre-compliance mode. In comparison with the standard menu, every command gets displayed the entire visual description of the function is described through purple bows. Main advantage of the pre-compliance mode is that the parameter can be changed while the test is operating. Figure 8-3: EFT / BURST pre-compliance mode However, when every parameter has been adjusted, the “Start”...
Limits the current (L, N, PE front view) to the EUT Action: Ignore, Alarm, Test stop, Test stop & line off Due to EUT fails, AXOS5 cause an action which can be: Ignore, Alarm, Test Stop, Test Stop & Line off.
8.2.4 Trigger When selecting “manual trigger” the following window opens up. It gets applied to EUT by pressing the “Trigger” button. It gets always only one Burst package applied. Figure 8-7: BURST mode Trigger normal Furthermore, it shows between which line and GND the burst package gets applied. After finalizing the process, it will be stopped when pushing the “Stop”...
9 Voltage dips & interrupts 9.1 General information For the voltage dips & interrupts only the EUT will be only connected through the output (L, N, PE) in the front view. The EUT Supply Input (L, N, PE) in the rear view gets connected to the power supply. For verification of the signal, Pos.4 and Pos.5 in Figure 5-1 can be connected to the oscilloscope.

when using the D116 transformer. The selection happens in the “Dip Voltage” menu field. When selecting 0% it creates a voltage interrupt, since the V dip becomes 0V. The Figure 9-3 shows the voltage dips in standard mode. When pushing the particular function name: “Dip Voltage”, “Line sync.”, “Duration”, “interval”...
The HAEFELY TEST AG DIP 116 transformer will be connected through the V Dip and the Link input at the rear view of the AXOS5. The DIP 116 has an independent connection to an external power supply via banana plug. Once the...
9.3.2 External transformer The only connection from the external transformer (Figure 9-6) with the compact immunity tester happens through V dip and N’ at the rear view via banana plug. L and N from the external transformer gets connected to the power supply. The output voltage (between V dip and N) gets displayed as adjusted at the transformer.
9.3.4 Transition The Figure 9-7 shows the “transition” menu. It is possible to select independently “Duration”, “Interval”, “Phase” and “Alternate polarity”. To be able to select “phase” the Synchrony has to be either set as Synchronization or external Synchronization, otherwise it is not possible to access it. Eventually, every parameter can be changed by pushing the certain value.
