Figure 3 - Proper Insertion of Genius 2 Probe Tip into Target
Step 4:
The insertion of the probe tip into the target will automatically be detected and the screen display will change to “Press Genius 2
Thermometer scan button.” Press the scan button on the Genius 2 Thermometer while it is inserted into the Low temperature target.
The Genius 2 Thermometer will output 3 short beeps as it takes the temperature of the blackbody target. After the temperature is
taken, the next screen will display.
Step 5:
Withdraw the thermometer from the Low temperature target and eject the probe cover. The screen display will change to “Install a
new probe cover and insert probe into the High target.” Again, use a new Genius 2 probe cover from the cassette and be careful not
to point the probe tip at any object, including hands, fingers or LCD display. Inspect the probe covers to make sure it is fully seated
(no space between the cover and the tip base) and no holes, tears, or wrinkles are present in the plastic film. When the cover is on,
insert the probe tip into the High temperature target, which will have a blinking LED indicator next to it. Make sure that the probe tip
is fully inserted into the target well.
Step 6:
The insertion of the probe tip into the High target will automatically be detected and the screen display will change to
“Press Genius 2 Thermometer scan button.” Press the scan button on the Genius 2 Thermometer while it is inserted into the High
temperature target. The Genius 2 Thermometer will output 3 short beeps as it takes the temperature of the blackbody target.
After the temperature is taken, the next screen will display.
Step 7:
If the Genius 2 thermometer is within specified accuracy limits, a Results screen will be displayed showing the thermometer serial
number along with an indication that the thermometer passed calibration check. If the Genius 2 thermometer is found to be outside
the specified accuracy limits , the display will indicate to the user that the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator is entering into a calibration
sequence that requires the user to repeat Steps 3 through 6 three more times in order to gather recalibration data. Following the
last pass through Steps 3 through 6, the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator will attempt to recalibrate the Genius 2 thermometer. If the
recalibration is successful, a Results screen will be displayed showing the thermometer serial number along with an indication that
the thermometer passed calibration. If the recalibration is unsuccessful or the thermometer is unable to be calibrated, a Results
screen will be displayed showing the thermometer serial number along with an indication that the thermometer failed calibration.
