The Pro Series3 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.
Features:
Numeric LED display range of .1 to 999.9 shows the level of radon gas in pCi/L.
Short-term reading displays the average radon levels over the past 7 days.
Long-term reading displays the
average radon levels since powered-up
or last reset with a maximum reading time of 5 years.
Upon initial power-up, short-term and long-term readings will display after the first 48 hours.
Audible alarm sounds if the
long-term average reaches 4 pCi/L or greater
or the short-term average stays above 4 pCi/L for 30 consecutive days.
Samples air continuously with the display updated every hour.
Conducts a failsafe self-test every 24 hours with an error code displayed if there is a failure.
Menu button controls 4
functions:
1. Switch between the short-term and long-term display, indicated by a green

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.
