GETTING STARTED\
-
Firstly, Pull out the plastic tab by the battery lid at the back of the Monitor.
-
Then the display shows ‘CAL’ (calibration) and counts up to minimum 50. The monitor self-test in this phase. Duration time less than 30 sec.
-
The LCD screen shows up to 4 flashing dashes indicating the time left until radon
levels are shown. In this phase, data is obtained for an initial radon level calculation.
The phase duration depends on radon levels, but typically ranges from 6 to 24 hours.
The indicator at the top left of the screen flashes when the monitor is active. -
Place the monitor in living areas (e.g., bed room and living room) and in places deemed representative of the air breathed in each living area.
Note
- The radon monitor should not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture, and should be placed at least 50cm above floor level, and at least 150cm from the nearest door, window or air vent.
- Don’t moved it during measurement.
- If the display shows ‘Err’ and a number , press RESET, remove and reinsert the batteries after cleaning its contacts. If the ‘Err’ persists, contact the seller for support.
HOW TO USE THE MONITOR DISCLAIM
The long term average represents the average radon value for the ongoing
measurement, max one year ( updated once every 24 hours ).
The short term average (SHORT TERM AVERAGE) alternates between showing the
radon value over the last day (1 DAY-updated hourly) and over the last 7 days
( 7 DAYS – updated once every 24 hours ).
The long term average is used to identify any potential health risk.
The short term average is used primarily to see the effect of measures to
reduce the radon level-for example by increasing the ventilation.
The building can be diagnosed by taking measurements for one week in all
living areas, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
This should preferably be followed by long term measurement the room which has
the highest radon value.
For long term measurement period and action level we recommend to follow the
guidelines from the national radiation authority.
RESET
Press the button to restart the instrument before a new measurement.
This operation removes all stored radon data.
Remember to note all previous measurement before using the RESET button.
MODE
Press the button to get information on the number of measurement days since
the instrument started for the first time or the last RESET operation.
This information is displayed on the lower half of the screen for 20seconds
before the screen returns to the ordinary display.
