	During the construction of the European-XFEL, activities related to Fundamental Power Couplers (FPCs) were outsourced to external partners and the former FPC test-stand area at DESY was given up due to infrastructure rearrangements. For the study of various XFEL upgrade scenarios a new test-stand for conditioning of FPCs at DESY is required. It will be used for evaluation of new coupler preparation methods with particular emphasis on Continuous Wave (CW) and long RF pulse operation. The new test-stand has been recently commissioned. Four FPCs have been prepared and tested. RF pulses were applied to the couplers, starting with the shortest possible pulse and increasing it’s power until maximum power was reached. The process was repeated with several pulse lengths until the maximum RF pulse length was reached. A review of the commissioning and first operation experience of the RF system are presented here.

For the study of various XFEL upgrade scenarios a new test-stand for conditioning of FPCs at DESY is required. It will be used for evaluation of new coupler preparation methods with particular emphasis on Continuous Wave (CW) and long RF pulse operation. The new test-stand has been recently commissioned.
