  102 European XFEL accelerating modules with 816 superconducting cavities and main input RF power couplers were assembled and then tested at DESY prior to installation in the European XFEL tunnel. In the Accelerating Module Test Facility (AMTF) warm and cold RF tests were done. The test results went directly to the operational setup for the LINAC. Main input couplers did present several problems during the tests, resulting in some minor coupler design changes as well as in a few repair actions. The experience got from the said testing operation is worth to be shared and is presented here together with a discussion.

  96 accelerating modules with 768 TESLA/European-XFEL type superconducting cavities were installed in the European XFEL LINAC tunnel (XTL) in the fall 2016. Warm conditioning of the RF system - High/Low Level RF System and main input couplers - begun even before finishing the accelerator installation works. All modules were conditioned and tested prior to the installation in the tunnel in the AMTF test stand at DESY. Nevertheless, due to some repair activities on warm input coupler parts, warm conditioning was needed on a few modules/couplers. Cooling down to 2K begun in December 2016 and was finished in January 2017. Since then cold conditioning and tests are running. Several cavities in a few modules did show the multipacting (MP) effects, mostly because a cavity vacuum was filled with a dry nitrogen for before mentioned repairs on couplers in some modules. Said MP effects were seen in AMTF as well. All MP effects were successfully conditioned until now. The warm/cold RF system conditioning and its results/experiences/limits are described and discussed.

  Repair actions of different extent have been performed at 61 modules of the 100 accelerating series modules for the European XFEL to qualify them for the tunnel installation. Four modules could not be repaired in time. CEA Saclay managed to perform three major repairs in parallel to the series module integration, the residual repair actions took place at DESY Hamburg. In this paper we will give an overview on the various technical problems which required being fixed before the tunnel installation and on the repair actions performed.

  The serial-production tests of 100 cryomodules for the European XFEL have been finished. In this paper the statistics of the cold RF measurements in the AMTF (Accelerator Module Test Facility) are reported for all the modules. In addition comparison between the cavity vertical test results and module test results are presented.
