PRESSURE UNIT INLINE PRESSURE SENSOR

PRECAUTIONS
Aria is a perfusion system that automates perfusion or timed injection protocols. It allows for the sequential delivery of up to 10 different solutions at the desired flow rate into a microfluidic chip, perfusion chamber, or petri dish.
Do not open the PRESSURE UNIT device. Please refer all service issues to our Support department (support@fluigent.com)
Prevent any objects or liquid from entering the PRESSURE UNIT. This may cause a short circuit or other malfunction. Failing to follow these instructions may:

• Expose the user to direct current/voltage if the device is powered. This may lead to damages.
• Void device’s warranty
• Discharge our company from any liability regarding physical or device damages.

Place the product in a stable location with a level surface and good support.
If using the PRESSURE UNIT with other flow control systems than Fluigent pressure controllers, please check that the pressure in your fluidic system does not exceed the maximum pressure of the sensor being used.
Ensure to connect the PRESSURE UNIT to the PC before launching the software. Make sure to properly clean the fluidic path and disconnect the device from the PC to remove the power supply.

QUICK START GUIDE

• Plug the PRESSURE UNIT Inline pressure sensor into the computer using a USB connection.
• Using the provided connections and tubing kit provided by Fluigent, connect the PRESSURE UNIT into the fluidic path.  Note: The fluid can flow following the direction of the arrow indicated on the PRESSURE UNIT or in the opposite direction. As the sensor measures pressure potential, it can be set in any direction without affecting values.
• Monitor the Fluigent pressure controllers using LineUp™ local control or using Fluigent dedicated software on a computer, and get the measured pressure in the fluidic path by the PRESSURE UNIT directly on the Fluigent All-in-One software interface.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The PRESSURE UNIT is a stand-alone pressure sensor allowing a fast and accurate measure of the pressure applied in a fluidic path. The product range can detect values from 69 bar (1 psi) to 7000 bar (100 psi). The sensor can be directly plugged into a PC with a USB connection and displayed live the measurement on the Fluigent All-in-One software interface. The users can output this value for custom software applications using the Software Development Kit.

1. Input tubing to connect to the sensor inlet
2. Sensor inlet screw the connection to the port
3. Sensor outlet screw the connection to the port
4. Outlet tubing to connect to the sensor outlet
5. USB cable to connect to the PC USB port
