The FERMI@Elettra Free Electron Laser aims to produce a coherent light in the EUV-soft X-ray range employing High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) schemes. The ultrafast, high intensity pulses are delivered to the experimental stations by means of a section called PADReS (Photon Analysis Delivery and Reduction System). Since several experiments need to reduce the FEL radiation intensity without changing the machine parameters, PADReS provides an integrated system to measure and reduce it up to 4 orders of magnitude. It is composed by a windowless gas-filled cell, a gas injection system, a differential pumping system, and the intensity monitors. The gas cell can be filled up to 0.15 mbar of nitrogen and the differential pumping system can keep up over 6 orders of magnitude. The pressure is finely regulated in the ·10^-5 mbar range in the intensity monitor vacuum chamber, almost independently from the gas cell pressure level. The general layout and the performance of the differential pumping system prototype are presented.
