FLUIGENT FLPG Plus Low Pressure Generator
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 transport.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The pressure value displayed is in units of bar (1 bar = 14.5 psi)
The rear pressure output delivers the same pressure as the front output. One or the other can be used for better tubing management, or both at the same time to pressurize two pressure controllers.
QUICK START GUIDE
Please, 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 properly.
Start using the FLPG Plus
- Supply and power ON the FLPG Plus
- Pull out the pressure regulator knob to unlock it
- Turn the knob to change the output pressure (from 0.1 bar to 2.30 bar) in order to meet the supply requirement of the pressure controller channel range.
Different channel ranges require different pressure supply. The following table shows the cases of Fluigent’s pressure controllers. Flow EZ TM (channel range)| 2000

The MCFS 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 2.30 bar or below Do not operate above this value, or the output pressure can become unstable. This may damage the FLPG Plus and the connected devices.
- Connect the 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
OUTPUT CAPACITY
The 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 EZTM 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 EZTM 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.
