2.0 System Description 

 
The Pro CO

2

TM

 Carbon Dioxide Analyzer measures Carbon Dioxide (CO

2

) levels in gases in the 

range of 0 to 2000 parts per million (ppm).  It can be used to measure the CO

2

 content in all 

breathing gas mixes.  The Analyzer is designed to verify CO

2

 concentration in stored gas 

cylinders as well as to monitor continuous flow of gas from a compressor. The Analyzer is a 
moisture and impact resistant unit compatible with outdoor and marine environments. 

 

 
Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that will not support 
life. Exposure to Carbon Dioxide can lead to unconsciousness and death. 

 
The Analyzer is battery powered and includes an 
internally mounted Sensor with audible alarm.  
The Water-Resistant Case includes a Digital 
Display and controls that are environmentally 
sealed 
 
The Analyzer uses a Flow Adapter Cap and 
Flexible tubing to deliver sample gas to the 
Sensor.  Pressurized gases must be regulated to 
avoid damage to the analyzer.  Use of this 
Analyzer in a hyperbaric chamber will void the 
owner’s warranty. 
 
The Analyzer comes in a high impact storage 
case.  It is ready for use after calibration with an 
appropriate certified calibration gas.  
 
 

 

This analyzer is designed for use at atmospheric pressures only. It is not designed for 
exposures in a hyperbaric chamber. Use of this analyzer in a hyperbaric chamber will 
result in incorrect readings and may damage the unit. 

 

Although the Analyzer is a rugged instrument, careless handling or abuse may result in 
damage to the Analyzer resulting in inaccurate gas analysis. Inaccurate gas analysis can 
lead to serious personal injury or death. 

 

 

Extreme CO

exposure levels directed at the Analyzer sensor may damage the sensor.
