Section 1 - Safety & Precautions
1.1- Safety Warnings
● While in operation this machine can produce air up to 200℉ (93.3 ℃).
● While in operation, this machine will produce dry ice particles that can cause
irritation and potential frostbite upon contact to skin, eyes, or other bodily
surfaces.
● This machine utilizes contents under pressure (upto 1500 psi).
● The cleaning cleaning head can produce a static charge on itself and the cleaned
surface.
● The system uses 240 Volts AC electricity to power the unit; it can be deadly.
● This system is designed for indoor use only
1.2- Safety Precautions
● Use usual and customary safety procedures when operating this machine. (ie.
safety glasses, gloves, ear plugs). Consult with your safety specialist if
applicable.
● Do not tamper or alter electrical connections while the machine is powered on.
● Do not tamper or alter electrical connections if you are inexperienced with AC
electricity.
● Do not turn on input supplies without first checking the connections are tight and
uncompromised.
● Do not run machine without checking output connections are tight and
uncompromised.
● Do not touch the cleaning head or cleaned area without first grounding both parts
to dissipate static charge.
● Do not point the cleaning head towards any personnel while running.
● Do not insert any object inside the cleaning head outlet ports. In case of clogging,
please contact the service providing team.
● Avoid any contact with the cleaning head (Nozzle) or the cleaning surface while
the machine is running to avoid any static shock.
● Do not let the CO2 stream strike your eyes, face or bare skin.
● Do not operate the machine with wet hands.
● Hoses should be routed and kept free from surfaces capable of creating damage,
i.e. cuts, scraping, abrasion etc.
● Make sure to turn the machine off, unplug the power supply and close off CO2
supply valve in case of any leaks or smoke or unusual smell and call the
immediate technical assistance number.

Section 2 - Product Overview
The CM-2 is an optimized and integrated eco-friendly modular system that utilizes recycled CO2
for non-aqueous cleaning and surface preparation. This system offers sub-micron level cleaning
and surface preparation for numerous surfaces using CO2 gas and clean dry air as inputs. The
machine changes the phase of CO2 and converts it into transcritical CO2 which is an organic
solvent with all the desired chemical properties for micro level cleaning. Utilizing AIR and
Supercritical CO2, it generates super-sonic streams of propellant and controlled sized dry-ice
particles that cleans at micro level. It is fully integrated for large surface area with a 10-inch (254
mm) cleaning path using dual cleaning heads with 10 nozzles per module. It consumes 5x less
CO2 as compared to similar competitive technologies in Europe and USA and 40x less CO2 as
compared to dry ice blasting.
2.1 Overview of System
A system will have three main components; the cabinet, the cleaning head, and the
chiller. The cabinet is where the machine will prepare the input CO2and Air for optimal
cleaning conditions. The cleaning head is where the system will mix the CO2and Air to
facilitate surface cleaning. The chiller is required for thermal control of the CO2.

2.2 Front and Rear Panel Interfaces:
Figure 2.1.2 - Front Panel Interfaces
● ON-OFF SWITCH: The ON-OFF switch is a physical contact switch that will immediately
power down the system. This should only be done after the system has come to a
controlled stop.
● SCREEN: The HMI is a touchscreen which will be used for most tasks; including normal
use, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
● START BUTTON: The Start button is a physical push button, green in color, that will
cycle the unit from idle to cleaning mode.
● STOP BUTTON: The stop button is a physical push button, red in color, that will cycle
the unit from cleaning to idle mode and completely stop if pushed twice.
●EMERGENCY STOP: The emergency stop is a physical contact switch which will
immediately stop the system. This should only be used if some catastrophic occurs
during operation.

● ½” COMPRESSION CO2 INPUT: CO2 is supplied through a 1⁄2” Compression fitting,
after passing through a particulate filter. Always use a CO2 Filter (RBM-01-18-1000)
provided by RSTG.
● 1” NPT AIR INPUT: Air is supplied through a 1” NPT female bulkhead. Always use
Clean Compressed Air with ISO 8573-1, Class 1.2.1.
● AN-3 & AN-10 OUTPUTS: The cleaning head fittings route air and CO2 to the nozzle(s),
an AN3 fitting is used for the CO2 and an AN10 fitting is used for the air; there are two of
each fitting on the machine to allow the use of two nozzles. If a single nozzle is being
used, the additional air and CO2 nozzle connections MUST be plugged before
operation.
● CHILLER HOSES: Chiller hoses can be connected to an optional chiller or to an in house
chilling unit, depending on user specifications.
● REMOTE I/O: The remote I/O interface allows remote starting and stopping of the
machine, with fault and ready state feedback. The remote interface also allows for the
machine to be tied into a safety circuit with ease (see remote interface section).
Note: If safety circuit is not being utilized, connect supplied jumper to close the circuit.

Section 3- Installation & Start up
3.1- Delivery/Pre-installation Inspection
Upon receipt of system, review the “Delivery Checklist” enclosed with shipment to
ensure all parts have been received. Check for damages when unpacking components;
damages may occur during shipment if freight is not properly secured. If there are any
missing, or damaged components contact service and support team to remedy the
situation.
3.2- Air and CO2 Plumbing
Use a 1” NPT male fitting to supply Clean Dry Air (ISO 8573-1, Class 1.2.1) to the
system; there is a 1” NPT female bulkhead on the rear of the machine to accept this
fitting. Air should be supplied at 120 psi or more; the system will require 90 CFM of Air
per cleaning head. Ensure the connection is properly sealed by using teflon tape or an
equivalent product.
Use a ½” OD tube to supply gaseous CO2 to the system; there is a 1⁄2” Stainless Steel
Compression fitting on the rear of the machine to accept this tube. The supply should
pass through a particulate filter before entering the system. CO2 should be supplied in a
gaseous state at a minimum of 300 psi (850 psi max) through a CO2 Filter
(RBM-01-18-1000). The system will consume 40 lbs/hr of CO2 per cleaning head.

(NOTE: Moist or contaminated Air can damage the
internals of the system and may void the warranty if a
failure is caused by improper supply. If the air provided
by the customer is not filtered, please use the Air Filter
Module provided by RSTG)
(NOTE: Liquid CO2 can damage the internals of the
system and may void the warranty if a failure is caused by
improper supply.)
