PSURGE 8000
SURGE PLATFORM
Hardware Concept
This system meets ALL your current and future Surge
Testing requirements! A modular expandable system
that grows with your application needs.
The modular concept is built around a PC based host
controller (the PSURGE 8000 Controller) with physically
and functionally independent modules for impulses
(PIM #X), coupling/decoupling (PCD #X). The system
uses distributed intelligence, and each module has its
own application-specific program, runs internal routines
and communicates with the host controller.
System modules are automatically detected by the host
controller, providing true Plug & Play functionality.
Whether you test to the IEC 61000 series “CE Mark”
standards, the IEC 60601 Medical Device standards,
or any number of telecom and product specific
standards, the Surge Platform is your one stop test
station for everything from precompliance to full
compliance to product development testing.
A wide range of cost-efficient Coupling / Decoupling
Networks for symmetrical and asymmetrical data- and
signal-lines is available as an option.
With a 100 year history of innovation, service centers
on three continents, and a full staff of development and
support engineers, Haefely is the clear choice for all
your transient immunity test needs.

Modularity
The Surge Platform hardware comprises a control unit
with access to maximum 99 modules interconnected
on the HAEFELY BUS.
An innovative platform concept can help reduce time
to market and provide a high degree of future
proofing against changing standards or new
applications.
Also included in the host controller is the system’s
high voltage DC supply, which is distributed
between impulse modules (PIMxxx) using a safety
interlocked bus system. Up to 99 modules in any
combination can be controlled from just one PSURGE
8000 control unit, ranging from a stand-alone single
impulse generator to a complete and fully automated
test system
Single Connect Solutions
Eliminate reconnection errors, reduce down time. The
Single Connect solution performs tests to AC/DC
power, telecom and 1/0 ports simultaneously without
having to power down or reboot the EUT. Switching
between all required impulse types and coupling
paths - without having to reconnect or reconfigure
hardware. Reduced operator intervention increases
throughput. Fully automatic coupling path selection
through the power, Tip & Ring telecom and I/0 line
couplers plus waveform selection can all be
programmed either from the PSURGE 8000 front
panel controls or from the all new WinFEAT&R PC
based software package.
Modules are application-specific and can include
impulse units or coupling units in any combination.
This is possible through the use of distributed
intelligence. Each module contains information
stored in non-volatile memory which the control
unit interprets and uses as the basis for test
templates. This concept leaves an opening for
future expansions of the system without having to
modify the controller, a true PLATFORM concept.
Flexibility can be enhanced by use of the REMOTE
USER INTERFACE software. This opens
opportunities for integration into manufacturing
and quality systems. Access to process interfaces
means that the system can also make
measurements on the EUT and control other
remote applications either based on EUT function
or status.

Applications
Plug & Play
High quality HV Connectors with integrated safety
circuit, easy to engage for total system security.
Surge platform system uses the latest circuit design
techniques and high voltage technology by the use of
ultra fast high power semiconductor switches. This
ensures highest waveform integrity, unprecedented
phase angle synchronisation, reliability and total test
repeatability.
Integrated voltage and current monitors with
BNC outputs allow fast waveform verification using an
oscilloscope without high voltage probes
Plug & Play
Plug & Play is implemented by the HAEFELY
Control Bus connected in daisy chain fashion
between all system modules and the host
controller.
Testing with new modules is as simple as
connecting to the host controller through the
Haefely Bus and restarting the system controller.
Once an auto scan has been performed, the
modules are available for testing. No software
upgrade or reconfiguration. That's what we call
REAL Plug & Play! This feature also provides the
freedom to configure a test lab layout in any way.
Systems can be tailored to application or user
specifications and then simply expanded by the
addition of further modules.
Safety
A fully integrated hardware safety circuit links EVERY
high voltage connector and cable, ensuring high
voltage system integrity. Using safety circuit
connectors on the PSURGE 8000 controller, test
cabinets or protective barriers can be integrated in
the test system. A clear system of red and green
lamps, indicate the system status (safe/testing) and
further enhances operator safety.
Easy Front Panel Operation
The BOOSTER START function enables
Tests or complete Programs to be
started with a minimum number of
keystrokes. The front panel layout and
software structure are both intuitive
and powerful.
Interfacing
RS232 / IEEE
In addition to front panel control, a system can be
controlled from the WinFEAT&R software package.
Both RS232 and IEEE interfaces are supported.
EUT fail input
Connect pass/fail detection hardware to this BNC
input and the EUT condition, as determined by
specific EUT supervision hardware, is added to the
database of test information and finally the log file.
EUT condition can also be used to determine the test
course.
Synchronisation input
Impulses can be synchronised to any external cyclic
signal with a high degree of accuracy.
Trigger Input
External signals can be used to trigger impulse
generation to a particular event.
Trigger Output
BNC socket to trigger an oscilloscope or other
device coincident with the impulse. The trigger
signal is a negative edge transition. Level +5Vdc
Start / Stop
This feature can be used to create a semi-automatic
test environment where multiple samples must be
tested using the same routines. A test cabinet cover
or other safety device connected to the Start/Stop
input is used to start or stop the same test routine.
When the safety device is open, the test system is
rendered safe and test samples can be exchanged.

WinFEAT&R
WinFEAT&R is a completely new from the ground up
software package that is designed from the outset to
run under Win 9x, WinNT and XP operating systems.
Haefely EFT, LINE and SURGE platform systems are
all integrated for fully automatic control of a complete
test suite.
WinFEAT&R is the product of market feedback and
experience gained over many years in the EMC
testing world. The acronym stands for Fast Easy
Accurate Testing & Reporting, in WinFEAT&R we
have achieved all these things.
Particular care was taken in designing the GUI
(Graphical User Interface), which incorporates many
new and innovative features aimed at simplifying user
interactions. Drag and drop techniques combined
with on screen graphics make WinFEAT&R truly
intuitive.
System configuration is an extension of the plug &
play philosophy. Hardware attached to the system
bus is auto-detected. Individual test instrument
specifications are displayed and made available.
Individual test and program execution times are
displayed giving a detailed preview of the complete
process.
