Abstract In order to perform the RF conditioning of the fundamental coupler for the XFEL accelerator, Thales and LAL developed together a test bench being able to make the automatic RF conditioning. The capability of this test bench is of 4 pairs of coupler at the same time with automatic sequences of increasing the RF power. The test bench is composed of the overall RF station providing up to 5 MW peak power at 1.3 GHz. The waveguide distribution allows 4 individual RF lines for conditionning,and the automatic sequence applied to the couplers in respect with all signals monitored and controlled during the RF process. The paper will also provide some examples of such process.
