Pressure controller
Aria is a perfusion system which automates perfusion or timed
injection protocols. It allows for the sequential delivery of up to 10
different solutions at the desired ow rate into a microuidic chip,
perfusion chamber or petri dish.

QUICK START GUIDE
The TM or Push-Pull
needs an
supply to operate. This can be
a lab's compressed air supply,
an air compressor, or any
clean(filtered< 10 µm)anddry
compressed air supply.
Different TM ranges
require different supply
pressures(showntotheright).
Note : If one intends to use compressed gas other than air, or if the pressure
supply is out of the pressure range requirements, please contact Fluigent.
Always wear safety protection
when manipulating pressure.
- For positive range,
exceed 8 bar (120 psi)
- For negative range,
connect any positive pressure

The Push-Pull module works the same way as other TM modules,
except that it can output pressure (above atmospheric pressure)
and (below atmospheric pressure) through the same port.
Note : Depending on the supply pressures, the performance of
the module can vary, especially for the vacuum pressure supply.
When connecting the two supplies, only the positive pressure supply
will be checked on the "Inlet pressure check window". (see page 10)

Special attention
should be taken to
prevent liquid from
into
the module.
To do so, it needs two inlets: the positive one, uses the standard pressure
supply of the TM, and the negative one, utilizes an additional
connector located at the front between the FLOW UNIT port and the
"unlock" handle.

QUICK START GUIDE
A Push-Pull module can be combined with other
pressure LineUPTM modules the same way as a Flow EZTM
1 bar. If connecting to higher pressure modules, please
consider adding an Adapt module to reduce the
positive pressure supply. (See page 29 for more details)
When using a Push Pull module, care should be taken to
avoid drawing liquid into the system. This can seriously
damage the module. It is advised to use a liquid filter
between the outlet and the reservoir as it reduces the risks.
Note : The Push-Pull can be
used as a regular Flow EZTM with
no vacuum supply connected.
Please, a Push-
Pull module with a
Flow EZTM as it would not work.

The P inlet value

When connecting the pressure supply, if its value (P inlet) is not set at
the (P target), the Flow EZTM or Push-Pull will continue to
display the "Inlet pressure check window" (with the exception of the 7000
mbar range and the negative ranges which don't have this window)
If the value is displayed in red, please adjust the pressure supply.
When the two values are close enough, the will turn green
and the display on the Flow EZTM or Push-Pull will transition to "Operation
window"
