Updated for 2008, the new Pro Series
Radon Gas Detector.

Radon Gas is a serious matter.
We found this out when we purchased one of these detectors for ourselves and put in in the room where we stored our Uranium samples. The device indicated over 100 pCi/L !
For reference, the average indoor reading is 2pCi/L... at a reading of 100 pCi/L,
immediate evacuation is called for.
You certainly don't need to have hundreds of pounds of Uranium ore in your house to have a dangerous Radon Gas level. There are ordinary homes all throughout the U.S.A... in every state... that have deadly concentrations of Radon Gas.

• 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 Series II 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 radon levels in their home by displaying short-term and long-term averages.

Since we do sell Uranium ore samples, it's important that we stress a point.
Collecting and storing a handful of Uranium samples is NOT going to create dangerous levels of Radon gas in your home.
However, if you are and avid collector, and you have pounds & pounds of Uranium ore in your home, you'd better plan on buying one of these.

Features:

• 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.
• One year limited manufacturer's warranty.
