WHAT’S IN THE BOX

OLED Display Information

STS: READY

• Device status indicator – ready to measure radon level after the device powers on.
• This status is shown until it saves the first measured data.

STS: NORMAL

• Device status indicator – measuring and storing radon level in normal status.

CR: 10 min

• Radon reading intervals in continuous mode – displays radon level every 10 minutes based on moving average.

SR: 5 min

• Radon reading intervals in sniff mode – displays radon level every 5 minutes.

SR: 10 min

• Radon reading intervals in sniff mode – displays radon level every 10 minutes.

H: 4.70(HOUR)

• Hourly radon level average – updates hourly after the device power is on.

D:1.02(DAY)

• Daily radon level average – updates daily (every 24 hours) after the device is powered on.

M:1.04(MONTH)

• Monthly radon level average – updates monthly (every 30 days) after the device is powered on.

T: 5d 02: 26: 25

• Total measurement time after device power on, 5 days 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 25 seconds in this example.

ERR

• Unknown error status, please contact support@ecosense.io if this is displayed.

OVER

• Radon reading is above the maximum measurable range. (255 pCi/L or 9,435 Bq/m³)

PEAK: 3.86

• Highest radon reading after the device is turned on, reset when a device is turned off, and then on.

C:#/#

• C: alpha count in the current 10-minute reading cycle/alpha count in the previous 10-minute reading cycle.
• I.e., C:2/3 –> 2 alpha counts in the current 10-minute reading cycle and 3 alpha counts in the previous 10-minute cycle.
• This is how the radon reading is calculated in radon units by measuring the count that occurs when radon decays. The larger the count, the higher the radon value.
• The display information (H: D, M: T: and C:#/#) will reset when the device is powered off and then on. However, all the measured and logged data will remain in the device.

Vibration indicator

• The indicator turns on when the device detects vibration that the device was moved from the original location.

EcoTracker SETUP

1. Connect the power adapter to turn on the device.
2. Download and launch the EcoTracker by Ecosense app.
3. For Android users, notification for file access is required for exporting data and notification for location access is required when Bluetooth is in use. Tap “Allow” when prompted with messages such as “Allow EcoTracker to access photos, media, and files on your device?” and “Allow EcoTracker to access this device’s location?”
4. Enable Bluetooth on your phone to pair with EcoTracker(s). The EcoTracker app will pair with all monitors within range. Once monitors have completed boot up sequence, you should be able to see all the monitors and their radon readings in the app.
5. For further setting of each device configuration, click each device shown on the “Device List” menu/page accessed by clicking the hamburger menu on the top left corner.

DEVICE SETTINGS

• Hotspot sniff mode: Turn on and off hotspot sniff 5 minutes or 10 minutes mode
• Continuous monitoring: Turn on and off continuous monitoring
• Erase all data: Erase all radon data from the device
• Unit setting: Select measurement unit (pCi/l or Bq/m3)
• Alarm setting: Turn on and off the device audio alarm based on Alarm value
• Alarm value: Set alarm threshold radon value
• Alarm interval: Set alarm interval value

Radon Sniff Mode

• EcoTracker supports 5-minute and 10-minute sniff mode.

5 minute sniff mode (Default) / 10 minute sniff mode
Radon data will be updated and logged every 5 or 10 minutes. Data can be stored for up to 1 month (5-minute sniff mode) or 2 months (10-minute sniff mode). When switching the sniff mode between 5 and 10 minutes, the data will be reset. Before reset, the app will ask if you want to save previously stored data.

Continuous Radon Monitoring Mode

• EcoTracker supports continuous radon monitoring mode.

CRM mode

• Radon data will be updated every 10 minutes and logged every hour.
• Data can be stored up to 1 year if the device is set to CRM mode.
• When changing CRM mode to the sniff mode, data will be reset.
• Before reset, the app will ask if you want to save previously stored data.

HOW TO SAVE OR EXPORT DATA

1. Go to the Data tab and click Save Current Log data.
2. Enter the file name and click Save. Saved data can be found from Saved Log Data under the main menu (Hamburger menu on the top left corner).
3. If you would like to share, click the Export button from the top right corner and send it via email, text message, or in the case of iOS, you can save the file locally to the iPhone/iPad storage. Android based platforms do not support this local storage.
