Warning This instrument generates calibration gas for toxic gas detectors. The instruction manual should be read and understood before the operation of the instrument. Failure to operate the instrument correctly can lead to improper calibrations. This instrument conforms to the protection requirements of the EC DIRECTIVE 89/336/EEC on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), in accordance with the provisions of Statutory Instrument 2372.
Base Unit General Description The GENie family of instruments consists of the GENie base unit (which provides a microprocessor-based user interface and control system) and a source module (that determines the gas to be generated). GENie Base Unit and GENie (QC-1, EC or O3) Source Module (front and rearview) GENie Base Unit Battery-powered microprocessor-based user interface and control system.
Base Unit Continuous operation power adapters are also available for benchtop operation (note adapters are also available for international customers). Microprocessor-Based Circuitry The GENie base unit has microprocessor-based circuitry that performs several different operations and offers the user many different features. The microprocessor tracks source and battery usage, monitors the airflow rate, and controls the source and pump to give the selected ppm and flow rate.
Base Unit Mass Flow Sensor The GENie main module has a built-in mass flow sensor that measures the flow rate of the instrument. This information is used in two ways. With the pump engaged, it is used to control the pump to the desired flow rate over a range of 0.2 to 1.0 LPM.

EC Module When the concentration is displa chang pressing the select button will result in the following display. (note that the range may differ depending on the source being used and the flow rate.) 0.5 to 50 PPM At this point pressing the up or down arrows changes the output accordingly.
The unit can now be connected to a sample draw instrument. Do this by connecting the hose from the sample draw instrument to the output of the GENie EC. The GENie will display the flow being pulled through the instrument and wait a short period to ensure the flow is stable. The display will look something like this.
To achieve this, simply calibrate the first unit then remove it from the GENie EC. The unit will display the 0 flow and will wait patiently. When the next sample draw instrument is connected the unit will display its flow (they are often slightly different from unit to unit) and will immediately begin producing the concentration set earlier.

O3 Module GENie O3 Module Fast warm-up time allows the instrument to be turned off between remotely located sensors saving battery life and avoiding the generation of unwanted gas. The GENie O3 module uses the following components to produce the calibration gas/air mixture: Internal Micro Pump A small, rotary vane, micro air pump draws in ambient air to blend with the generated gas.

Maintenance Maintenance If the instrument is returned on an annual basis to maintain NIST certification, the charcoal filter will be replaced by the factory. Battery Replacement To access the GENie battery compartment, the base module must be separated from the source module. This is accomplished by slightly pulling down on the base plate to release the latching mechanism and sliding the base plate in the direction of the arrows as shown below.
Page 29
Maintenance The source module is now disengaged from the base module and can be pulled away revealing the battery compartment. To re-install the source module onto the base module, take the following steps: Align the air inlet fitting and the locking pins into the eyelet holes as shown.
If the unit is being operated from the external battery extender, make sure that the power switc accompanied by an audible beep. GENie EC, GENie O3: accompanied by an audible beep. Accurate airflow is critical to an accurate gas mixture.
