Product Description
Pro Series II Radon Gas Detector with ionization sensor and 85db audible alarm is the only electronic radon gas alarm designed for home use. Plug in radon detector and continuous radon monitoring begins. Short-term and long-term average radon level displays after 48 hours. Mutable, audible radon alarm of 85db at 10cm. Beeps hourly if long-term radon levels are 4pCi/L or greater. Accuracy is +/-20%pCI/L. Displays up to 999 pCi/L. About Radon: Radon is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless radioactive gas produced by the uranium breaking down in soil. Accumulations of over 4pCi/L are a long-term health hazard. Only cigarette smoking causes more lung cancer deaths than radon. Home radon levels can vary from safe to dangerous levels and back to safe due to humidity, temperature and season. EPA currently advises corrective action to reduce radon levels below 4 pCi/L (4 Pico-Curies per liter). Sensitive test equipment is required to detect radon gas. Features: Numeric LED display range of 0to 999 in pCi/L shows short-term and long-term levels of radon gas. Short-term: readings over past 7 days. Long-term: readings of average radon levels since powered-up or last reset (maximum of 5 years). Audible alarm sounds if the long-term average reaches 4 pCi/L or greater. Samples air continuously with hourly updated display. Self-tests every 24 hours. Error code display if fails self-test. Menu button controls 4 manual functions. Switch between short-term and long-term displays, green LED illuminates next to S (short-term) or L (long-term). Test the radon detector. Mute or reactivate audible alarm if radon detector is in alarm state. Clear and reset the radon alarm memory. 10' power cord: locate detector away from walls, windows and doors. One year limited manufacturer's warranty. Specifications: Sensor: Ionization Chamber Full scale reading: 999 pCi/L Short term: Average radon reading over past 7 days. Long term: Average radon reading from time of last reset. Maximum samp

True - this has been "evaulated" by the EPA. You can NOT use them in a real estate transactions. You can't even sell these in some states. So beware, you are not getting a $4000 Radon Measurement device for $120. You are getting a device that I think is probably good for a homeowner. Eleven dollar charcoal canisters are approved for real estate transactions.

I live in an area that is at "medium" risk for Radon. Since we live in a berm home, I was always worried that Radon could be a problem for my family. I bought this within 48 hours it assured me that our home was safe from Radon gas. It worked just like the manual said it would, after I finally found a place for it. :) The manual instructions list 4 or 5 requirements for where to place it. Not to be place in laundry rooms, kitchens, near an exterior wall, on the floor, etc.

The item was shipped in 2 days and it performed exactly as described. It's great because it can be used in any room in the house and you get results within 48 hours at each location. This product could be improved by showing results to the nearest tenth of a whole number rather than rounding the result down to the nearest whole number. Overall, great item.

I have no intention of dying of radon gas, so I bought ye olde safety siren pro 2 and let me tell ya, suckas, I have not died at all yet.Here's what I don't like about radon gas: everything.I've named my detector. Yeah, I know it's queer, but it's so impersonal sitting there at the foot of my basement that I thought I should begin treating it like a member of the family. So I call it Cliff.Every morning after a responsible breakfast (and an irresponsible ingestion of PCP) I run downstairs, kiss Cliff full on the sensors and say, "thank you for keeping my lungs from being filled with gas for one more day on this godforsaken planet, you crazy son of a gun." Then, instead of going to work, I hide down there. And I wait.Cliff is the best thing that's ever happened to me and every day I appreciate him more and more. I'm going to feel even more secure once I get some batteries up in his lil' area.
