Radon
is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless radioactive gas produced
by the breakdown of uranium in the soil. When allowed to accumulate
to high levels, it can be hazardous to long-term health.
The
Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause
of lung cancer in the United States. Only cigarette smoking causes
more lung cancer deaths.
Radon
levels in a home can vary greatly over a one-month period going
from safe levels to dangerous levels and back to safe.
The
EPA currently states that corrective action should be taken if
Radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L (4 pico-Curies per liter) on a long-term
basis.
Radon
gas is impossible to detect without the use of sensitive test
equipment.
The Pro SeriesII Radon Gas Detector is the only radon gas detector
on the market designed for use by the homeowner. This detector
allows the homeowner to monitor the radon levels in their home
by displaying short-term and long-term averages.
Compare
the Pro Series II with the Pro Series:
Numeric
LED display range of 0 to 999 shows the level of radon gas in
pCi/L on a short-term or long-term basis.
Short-term
readings display the average radon levels over the past 7 days.
Long-term
readings display the average radon levels since powered-up or
last reset with a maximum reading time of 5 years.
Audible
alarm sounds if the long-term average reaches 4 pCi/L or greater.
Samples
air continuously with the display updated every hour.
A
self-test is conducted every 24 hours with an error code displayed
if there is a failure.
Menu
button controls 4 functions.
1. Allows the user to switch between the short-term and long-term
display, which is indicated by a green LED illuminated next to
the S (short-term) or L (long-term).
2. Allows the user to conduct a manual test of the detector.
3. Allows the user to mute or reactivate the audible alarm if
the detector is in an alarm state.
4. Allows the user to clear and reset the memory of the detector
to begin new readings.
10
power cord allows user to locate detector away from walls, windows
and doors.
