Also, keep in mind that some vacuum systems
will vary in flow rate and/or pressure level. To
eliminate or reduce this effect, use of a
pressure reservoir between the vacuum source
and the FX5K
™
Tension FlexLink
®
is
recommended.
Flexcell

International Corp. recommends the
Leybold Trivac D8B Pump vacuum pump
(includes the D8B pump system, power cable,
gas ballast valve and AR 4-8 return filter) as a
vacuum source as well as using a pressure
reservoir. The vacuum pump and pressure
reservoir can be purchased directly from
Flexcell
®
International Corp.
NOTE: Even with an optimal vacuum source,
there will still be some system limitations due to
airflow. Combinations of high frequencies and %
elongations may not be achievable due to the high
vacuum level in the short period of time requested.
An example would be a regimen programmed to
run a sine wave from 0–20% elongation at 1.0 Hz,
using the 25 mm BioFlex
®
Loading Stations
™
. The
system is not able to achieve the vacuum required
to reach 20% in 0.5 seconds because of airflow
limitations. The maximum % elongation may only
reach 15%. The exact output is dependent on
many system variables. See the Addendum on page
16 for suggestions on maximizing system
performance.
To use the auto control pump feature, plug the
vacuum pump power cable into the
PUMP
CONTROL CONNECTION outlet on the
rear of the FX5K
™
Tension FlexLink
®
(Fig. 2
and 7).
NOTE: When using the auto pump control
feature, the power cable from the FX5K ™
Tension FlexLink ® must be connected directly
into the mains power. Failure to do so will cause
damage to the FX5K
™ Tension FlexLink ® .
See page 14 for additional comments on
setting up the vacuum power to use the auto
control feature.
