RA CO2 Booster-kit

RA CO2 Booster Kit

Increase the effectiveness of your AMT-200 by adding carbon dioxide (CO2) – the mosquito's most important attractant. With the RA CO2 Booster Kit, you can use a standard CO2 cartridge instead of propane and thereby enhance the trap's efficiency.

The booster kit is a Swedish-developed coupling system that connects to standard 425 g / 60L threaded CO2 cartridges. These cartridges are used for common soda machines and are part of a nationwide return system where empty bottles are easily exchanged for full ones in grocery stores, electronics stores, and hardware stores.

By adding CO2, the AMT-200 mimics human breath, causing more mosquitoes to be attracted to the machine's vacuum intake – especially during periods of high mosquito activity.

Use only standard threaded cartridges. Not compatible with Quick Connect systems.

Note! CO2 cartridge not included.

Installation Instructions – Booster Kit for AMT-200

The booster kit supplies carbon dioxide (CO₂) to your AMT-200 and enhances the attractant effect by mimicking human breath. Uses standard 425 g / 60L threaded CO2 cartridges (not compatible with Quick Connect).

1. Install the CO2 cartridge

   Screw the cartridge into the regulator (threading at the bottom). Tighten by hand until you hear a "hiss", then continue until it goes silent.

2. Attach the hose

   Slide the hose onto the regulator's nipple and tighten the threaded collar. Press the other end into the quick connector on the back of the AMT-200 (under the cover).

3. Open and adjust the flow

   Open the top valve fully clockwise and then turn it back about ¼ turn. Open the fine adjustment valve (counterclockwise) until you hear bubbling.

   Check the flow by holding the hose end in a glass of water and counting bubbles per minute:

   • 35 bubbles/min ≈ about 1 bottle/month
   • 70 bubbles/min ≈ about 2 bottles/month
   • For very large mosquito populations: up to 100 bubbles/min temporarily

4. Position the bottle correctly

   The bottle should always stand or hang upright.

Ongoing Checks

• Check bubbles once a week
• Replace the bottle when empty
• Adjust the flow as mosquito numbers increase or decrease
