NOTE:

  Flexcell

®

 recommends that the power 

saving or screen saver features in the Windows 
software are disabled. Allowing the hard drive to 
power down while an experiment is running may 
create the need to reboot the computer before data 
can be viewed, or before a regimen can be 
downloaded again. It is recommended that the 
monitor be put in “sleep” mode when not in use 
and that the computer be allowed to run at full 
power during an experiment.

Using additional FX5K

 Tension 

FlexLinks

®

 will allow two or more 

baseplates (platforms) with different 
regimens to run simultaneously. All tubing 
connections made to the first FlexLink

®

 

should be made exactly the same with any 
additional FlexLinks

®

. Each FlexLink

®

 will 

have its own separate 

FLEX IN

 and 

FLEX 

OUT

 tubing for each baseplate. However, 

the 

SYSTEM

 tubing can be shared between 

FlexLinks

®

 with "T" fittings as long as the 

vacuum source is capable of running two or 
more FlexLinks

®

 with the programmed 

regimens. Regimens with a combination of 
high frequencies and % elongation levels 
will require a more powerful vacuum source. 
The capability of the vacuum source with 
more than one FlexLink

®

 will need to be 

tested experimentally with the users’ 
particular setup. FlexLinks

®

 must be placed 

side-by-side during use. If the user desires to 
use the vacuum pump auto control feature 
with each FlexLink

®

, then separate vacuum 

pumps will need to be used with each 
FlexLink

®

.  

 
To connect additional FlexLink

®

(s) to the 

computer, connect the Ethernet cable from 
each FlexLink

®

 to an Ethernet hub. Then, 

connect the hub to the Ethernet port on the 
back of the computer using the Ethernet 
communications cable provided. The LCD 
on the front of the FlexLink
