Radon Gas Detector Pro Series III
Radon Pro Series III Detector
Radon is a radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and is
impossible to detect without the use of sensitive test equipment. Radon is
a naturally occurring gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock,
and water. 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.
The EPA presently suggests that corrective action be taken to reduce the radon levels in your home if measured over the long term at 4pCi/L or greater.
This radon detector is designed to be plugged into a standard 120VAC outlet. The detector should be placed in the lowest living area f the home in a location where it will not be disturbed. Of course, it should be in a place where it will be heard if activated.
The numeric LED display shows the level of
radon gas in Pico Curies per liter (pCi/L). The display range is 0.00 to
999.0. The radon detector display is designed to notify the user of the
level of radon gas on either a short-term or long-term basis, and is updated
every hour if there is a change in the level of radon gas.
4 pCi/L is the level set by the EPA as the threshold at which action should
begin to correct the radon problem within the home. The detector will
alarm in both long-term and short-term modes. The detector will alarm
when:
- Short-term displays 4 pCi/L or greater for 30 consecutive days, or
- Long-term displays 4 pCi/L or greater (alarms immediately, no 30 day delay)
When the detector goes into alarm state, the buzzer will sound 4 short chirps. This sound will be repeated every hour until the level on the longer-term reading drops below 4 or until the user mutes the alarm.
This radon detector has been approved for radon measurement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Radiation and Indoor Environments National Laboratory. Calibration and background checks should be performed annually for professionals who use this radon detector for home inspections, etc.

Answer: Becoming a radon inspector requires passing a certified test as well as course study. We would not recommend purchasing this device and attempting to become a radon services measurement provider. To answer your question, this detector will give its first reading approximately 48 hours after setting the device in place. This radon detector also displays short and long term readings, up to five years maximum. Radon levels can vary based on many factors, including seasonal changes and humidity levels. This radon detector performs a self-test every 24 hours and displays an error code if the test fails.
Question: I dont see where you answered the second question of the previous writers; how does one get the tester calibrated annually?
Answer: The unit needs to be sent direct to the manufacturer for annual calibration.
Question: Until such time as a mitigation system can be installed and reduces our levels to less than 4.0 can the alarm be turned off?
Answer: Yes, you can turn the alarm off on the radon gas detector pro series III. If the radon level drops below 4 the alarm is again reactive.
