6.2 Instrument Maintenance Operation
6.2.1 Maintaining Sufficient Air Flow
The placing area of Genesy thermal cycler should be checked regularly, as it requires sufficient
air flow to precisely reach the correct target temperature. Please ensure that air flow is
unrestricted and other items around the instrument do not interfering with the air flow.
6.2.2 Maintaining Stable Power Supply
Genesy thermal cycler requires stable power supply for proper functioning, therefore its power
supply should be checked regularly to ensure the consistent of instrument required voltage and
the power supply voltage (allowable deviation ± 10%). And make sure that the rated load of
receptacle is no less than the requirement of instrument.
6.2.3 Maintaining Cleanliness
Caution: Never place a tube with open or leak cap on the sample block. The reagents
may escape during heating and cover the sample block, hot lid and sample drawer.
Caution: In case the instrument will not be used for a long time, unplug it and cover the
device with a soft cloth or plastic bags to prevent dust from entering.
6.2.4 Replace Fuse Tube
The fuse tube (type F10AH250V) of Genesy thermal cycler is located in the fuse box near the
power outlet at the rear of the instrument. Before replacing the fuse tube, please switch off the
instrument and unplug the power plug, use a screwdriver to pry open the fuse box. Then
substitute the old fuse tube with an equal one.
Reminding: In case there is no display on the screen after starting up the Genesy
thermal cycler, please check the fuse tube.
Caution: Improper fuse tube may lead to circuit system damage, even fire.
