Section VI - Operational Procedure
The following procedure will describe the steps required to operate the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator. In order to facilitate familiarity
with the product, it would be advisable to use this section of the manual during the calibration check of the first few thermometers.
Installation of USB Flash Drive (Optional)
Install a USB flash drive into the USB port located on the front panel if a report file written to the USB flash drive is desired. If the USB
flash drive is installed after performing a calibration check, an error message may occur when attempting to write the report file if
the operator does not wait for the USB flash drive to complete initialization. If the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator is powered off, all
internal memory (not yet saved to the USB flash drive) will be lost.
Apply Power
Make sure the AC-adapter end of the power module is plugged into a grounded outlet. Connect the power module to the front panel
power connector. Apply power to the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator by using the power switch on the front panel.
Start-up Screen
The first screen on the LCD display is the Initialization Screen, which displays the software revision and date of the Genius 2
Checker/Calibrator. If there is an internal problem during initialization, an Error screen will be displayed (See Section VII).
Reminder Screen
The next screen on the LCD display is a reminder to let the Genius 2 Checker/Calibrator warm-up for at least 15 minutes after
applying power. This will let the infrared blackbody targets warm up to the proper temperatures. To exit this screen, press the
encoder knob.
Main Menu
The Main Menu screen is displayed next. This screen has four menu options:
Check Calibration
Preferences
Set User/Site Information
Set Time/Date
To enter any menu option, use the encoder knob to scroll over and highlight the desired menu option, then press the encoder knob.
Preferences
The Preferences menu is used to setup the language option. Press the encoder knob to enter the Language Selection screen.
Language Selection
The Language Selection screen lists the available languages for the LCD screen text. To select a language, scroll over the selection and
it will be highlighted. Press the encoder knob to complete the selection and return to the Main Menu screen. The selected language
will be stored in non-volatile memory and will be used next time the unit is powered on.
Set User/Site Information
The Set User/Site Information screen is used to enter the operator’s name and the organization and/or site information.
This information will be written to the test report file.
To enter the information, use the encoder knob to scroll through the alphabet for a given letter position in the operator name or site
information. When the correct letter is shown, press the encoder knob to select the letter and advance to the next letter position.
To enter a space, just press the encoder knob when a space or blank letter is shown in that letter position. The user name can be up
to 20 letters long. Use the encoder knob to scroll to the organization field and enter a name for the site in a similar manner. To exit
the menu, scroll to the DONE text and press the encoder knob.
