Page 5: Warning
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. -
Page 6: General Description
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. -
Page 7: Microprocessor-Based Circuitry
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. -
Page 8: Mass Flow Sensor
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. - Page 9 Base Unit Deutsch Español Portuguese Francais Page 5...
