Before the first use Remove the transport screws under the FLPG Plus. These screws are used to protect the compressor inside during the transport. Please keep these screws in case of future trasnport. ...

Rear pressure output Power inlet The rear pressure output delivers the same pressure as the front output. You can use one or the other for better tubing management, or both if you have two pressure controllers to drive.

Install the FLPG Plus in good conditions min. 10 cm min. 10 cm Always place the FLPG Plus on a horizontal and stable surface. Keep clear for at least 10 cm at sides of FLPG Plus. This allows for ventilation and the air drying system to function proprely.

Start using the FLPG Plus Power on the FLPG Plus. Pull out the pressure regulator knob to unlock it. unlocked ! locked (orange ring is visible) Turn the knob to change the output pressure (from 0.1 to 2.30 bar) in order to meet the required supply pressure of the channel range of your pressure controller. (See next page for more information)

Different channel ranges require different supply pressures. The following tables show the cases of Fluigent's Flow EZ and MFCS. Flow EZ Channel range 2000 1000 (mbar) Required supply 0.15 0.15 pressure (bar) MFCS Channel range 2000 1000 (mbar) Required supply pressure (bar) MFCS 2000 mbar range channel is compatible with the 2.3 bar supply pressure, despite its nominal supply pressure of 2.4 bar. The FLPG Plus is designed to work at or below 2.30 bar. Do not operate above this value, or the output pressure can become unstable. This may damage your FLPG Plus and the connected pressure controller.

Connect your pressure controller's pressure inlet to the FLPG Plus' pressure output (front or/and rear) Power off the FLPG Plus after use. Doing so will extend service life of the compressor.

FLPG Plus' output capacity FLPG Plus' output capacity is the number of channels it can drive simultaneously. This capacity depends on the output pressure set with the pressure setting regulator. When set to 2.1 bar to drive the Flow EZ 2000 mbar channels (or 2.3 bar to drive MFCS 2000 mbar channels), the FLPG Plus can drive up to 4 channels at the same time. When set to 1.1 bar to drive the Flow EZ 1000 mbar channels (or 1.3 bar to drive MFCS 1000 mbar channels), the FLPG Plus can drive up to 8 channels at the same time. When set to lower pressures to drive lower range channels (see tables on page 6 for more information), the FLPG Plus can drive up to 8 channels at the same time. Do not connect more channels than the numbers shown above. Otherwise, the output pressure may drop and become unstable, leading to possible damage of the FLPG Plus and the connected pressure controller.
