Section II - Precautions and Warnings

• The GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator is designed to be operated as specified in this manual. Protection provided by the safety
devices in the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator may be impaired if the device is not used in accordance with the directions contained
in this manual.
• The GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator enclosure is not waterproof. Avoid spilling liquid of any kind onto the front panel of the device.
Likewise, the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator is powered from an AC power source. Avoid the potential for contact between liquid
and any external surface of the device while connected to the mains source.
• The surface quality of the interior of the reference blackbody targets is critical to their operation as efficient infrared radiators.
Care should be exercised when working near the entrance to the blackbody targets to ensure that no contact is made with the
surface inside the rubber flaps.
• In the event of a blown fuse, replace the fuse with a fuse that exactly matches the rated voltage, current, and form factor as
specified in the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator Specifications section of this manual. Make sure the device is disconnected from
the AC power source before changing a blown fuse.
• This device should not be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. There is risk of an explosion in the presence of these
anesthetics.
• There are no user-serviceable components in this device. Do not remove the front panel. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• Use only the supplied power module with this device.
• When prompted to insert the GENIUS 2 Thermometer into one of the blackbody targets, there is a 60 second window of time to
accomplish the insertion. If the time delay exceeds this period, the procedure will be terminated.
• Prior to checking/calibrating a GENIUS 2 Thermometer, ensure that the thermometer lens is clean. Effective cleaning will ensure
that the calibration tolerances are correctly verified. Refer to the cleaning instructions in the Genius 2 Thermometer operating
manual.
• When installing a GENIUS 2 probe cover on to the tip of the GENIUS 2 Thermometer, use only covers that are in a cassette and
not released. Try to avoid all hand contact with the probe covers in order to prevent inaccurate readings. Do not reuse probe
covers. Use only GENIUS 2 probe covers.
• Let the GENIUS 2 Checker /Calibrator warm up after power-up for at least 15 minutes before use. Make sure that the GENIUS 2
Thermometers, probe covers and the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator have had enough time to equilibrate to room temperature
before proceeding. Allow a longer warm up period if the device or thermometers were at the extreme limits of allowed
ambient temperature. The portability of the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator will allow for relocation of the device to areas that
meet the ambient temperature requirements.
• To maintain Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) conformance, use a USB flash drive that is CE marked and meets EN55022
standard.
• Do not put or rest the GENIUS 2 Thermometer on the surface of the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator at any time. The thermal
sensors inside the thermometer probe tip will detect the heat transferred from the blackbody targets through the front panel
surface. This will cause instability of the thermometer sensors, which will produce erroneous temperature readings.
• The GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator may only be used indoors, in an area free from drafts and wide ambient temperature swings.
• The USB port on the front panel is intended to be used with only a USB Flash memory drive. No other USB devices should be
inserted into the USB port. The USB flash memory drive should be installed prior to device power-up.
• In the event that the GENIUS 2 Checker/Calibrator is dropped, return the unit to the factory for re-calibration.
