Before entering this menu option, make sure that the required equipment listed in Section IV is available. This includes a cassette with unused (new) probe covers.
Step 1: Warm up of infrared blackbody targets. This screen is displayed while the targets are checked for proper temperature. Both the Low Target and the High Target are checked, and when they are at the correct temperature, the screen will change to “OK” for each target. There is a prompt to press the encoder knob to continue to the next screen. If either target cannot reach the correct temperature, an Error message screen will be displayed. If this happens, check to be sure the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator is within the correct ambient (room) temperature range, and has been given at least 15 minutes of warm up time since power was switched on.
Step 2: Inspect the Genius™ 3 Thermometer that will be tested. Ensure that the thermometer lens is not scratched and is free from ear wax and/or other contaminants. If the thermometer lens is ‘‘dirty’’, clean the lens according to the instructions in the Genius™ 3 Thermometer operating manual. The confirmation screen will be shown, asking for confirmation that the Genius™ 3 Thermometer’s lens is clean. If lens is not clean, failed calibration may occur or the unit may be calibrated incorrectly.
Step 3: Connect the Genius™ 3 Thermometer to the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator by plugging the round end of the thermometer interface cable into the round connector socket on the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator front panel (refer to Figure 2). Open the battery door of the thermometer by using a small Phillips screwdriver. Remove the batteries and set aside. Connect the other end of the thermometer probe cable into the battery compartment, making sure the connector ‘‘snaps’’ into place securely. Refer to Figure 2 in Section V. Press the scan button on the Genius™ 3 Thermometer, so that it is powered on and ready to communicate with the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator. If the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator is unable to initiate communication with the thermometer, an informational message will be shown prompting the user to ensure that there is no probe cover present on the thermometer tip and that the scan button has been pressed. Note: A new, clean, Genius™ probe cover must be used prior to every target insertion. Finger oils on previously used probe covers or reused probe covers that have been heated by Genius™ Checker/Calibrator target can cause erroneous readings which may result in a failed calibration check or an inaccurate calibration. Therefore, it is extremely important that a new probe cover is used each time.
Step 4: Press the encoder knob to continue, and then install a new Genius™ probe cover onto the Genius™ 3 Thermometer. Make sure to use a cover that is held in the cassette. Once the cover is on the thermometer, do not point the probe tip at any object, including hands, fingers or LCD display, as this will cause an inaccurate temperature reading. Inspect the probe cover 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 Low 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. Refer to Figure 3a for proper insertion. In order to avoid a time-out error, insert the covered probe tip into the target within 60 seconds from the time the encoder knob is pressed.
