6. 15% Inlet Port: Connection port for the 15% CO2 gas line
7. 25% Inlet Port: Connection port for the 25 % CO2 gas line
Operation
Step 1) Install the device (Please see instillation page)
Step 2) Connect Gas lines to appropriate inlet ports:
Ports will be labeled 15% and 25%. The inlets are a standard 1/4 Female NPT. Two
adaptor fittings will be included:
a) 1/4 NPT Male to 5/8-18 Female
b) 1/4 NPT Male barb fitting
Step 3) Power on the unit:
The device will take roughly 1 minute to begin reading CO2 levels.
Step 4) Reading Display and Indicator Lights:
a) The display will show if the device is in Manual or Automatic mode and will also display the
information for each inlet port. If there is not pressure on the inlet port, it will read inactive.
Once <15 psi is applied to that port it will become active and the device display the
concentration of the gas being sampled.
b) There are RED and GREEN indicator lights for both the 15% and 25% inlet ports. Once
the channels are active, The RED indicator light will be on until the correct connection
range is reached; then the GREEN light will turn on to indicate it is safe to weld

System Functionality Test Procedure:
1. Connect Welding Gas Analyzer to Power Supply and wait for initialization.
2. Connect 15% CO2/Argon Calibration Gas to 15% Inlet Port of the Welding Gas Analyzer.
3. Adjust calibration gas pressure regulator to 40 psi.
4. Observe 15% LCD Read-Out display and Red/green indicator lamps. The 15% channel should
read active.
5. Verify – As gas pressure goes above 20psi, the Monitor becomes active.
6. Verify - LCD display shows CO2 Values.
7. Verify - Red lamp is lit when CO2 values are below 13.5% or above 16.5%.
8. Verify - Green lamp is lit when CO2 values are between 13.5% and 16.5%.
9. Maintain 15% CO2 at 40 psi for at least 10 minutes to create Data Log Files.
10. Reduce CO2 gas pressure to 10 psi and verify Lamps are OFF and LCD does not provide CO2
concentration.
11. Remove 15% CO2 calibration gas from the Welding Gas Analyzer.
12. Connect 25% CO2/Argon calibration Gas to 25% inlet port of the Welding Gas Analyzer.
13. Adjust gas regulator for 40 psi.
14. Observe 25% LCD Read-Out display and Red/green indicator lamps. The 25% channel should
read active.
15. Verify – As gas pressure goes above 20psi, the monitor becomes active.
16. Verify - LCD displays CO2 Values.
17. Verify - Red Lamp is lit when CO2 values are below 22.5% or above 27.5%.
18. Verify - Green Lamp is lit when CO2 values are between 22.5% and 27.5%.
19. Maintain 25% CO2 at 40 psi for at least 10 minutes to create Data Log Files.
20. Reduce CO2 Gas Pressure to 10psi and verify Lamps are OFF and LCD does not provide CO2
concentration.
21. Remove 25% CO2 calibration gas from the Welding Gas Analyzer.
22. Insert USB drive into Welding Gas Analyzer USB Port to automatically download Log Files.
23. Remove USB drive from Welding Gas Analyzer USB Port.
24. Insert USB drive into USB Port of a computer and view Log Files.

The CM-650 Welding Gas Analyzer is calibrated at CO2 Meter prior to being shipped. It is
recommended that the device be calibrated annually to maintain optimal functionality.
1. Connect certified 15% or 25% calibration gas to desired port to be calibrated. The 15% and
25% ports must be calibrated individually. If both ports are active, a calibration will not be
possible.
2. Wait unit the channel becomes active. Display will read active and the red or green LED will
be on.
3. Wait 3-5 minutes to allow the channel to fill with the certified gas.
4. To activate the calibration press and hold the manual button for 10 seconds.
5. The display will read:
a. Cali to 15%? Press button to Cali, wait to cancel.” To calibrate the 15% port
OR
b. Cali to 25%? Press button to Cali, wait to cancel.” To calibrate the 25% port
6. Press the button to start the calibration. ***If the button in not pressed in 30 seconds, the
device will return to the home screen***
7. When the calibration is complete the display will read “Calibrated!” and it will return to the
home screen. 8. Repeat these steps for the next inlet port using an appropriate certified gas
concentration.
