Is your home safe from harmful radon gas?
The Pro Series3 Radon Gas Detector is the only digital radon detector on the market to constantly monitor your home for harmful radon gas. This detector displays short-term and long-term averages of detected radon gasses. Other detectors require the homeowner to send in samples for analysis, but the Pro Series 3 Radon Detector gives you peace of mind, providing round-the-clock feedback.
"Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. About 2,900 of these deaths occur among people who have never smoked. On January 13, 2005, Dr. Richard H. Carmona, the U.S. Surgeon General, issued a national health advisory on radon."

What is 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.
Why use a digital detection system?
The Pro Series 3 Radon Detector is the only digital radon detection system on the market. Only the Pro Series 3 gives you quick, accurate measurements, as well as short-term and long-term analysis - up to 5 years! Traditional, long-term detection kits can take up to 90 days to estimate radon levels. Even short-terms kits can take up to a week, and don't provide any type of long term analysis. Radon levels can vary dramatically in different seasons.
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 3 Radon Detector Features:
- Numeric LED display range of .1 to 999.9 shows the level of radon gas in pCi/L.
- Short-term reading displays the average radon levels over the past 7 days.
- Long-term reading displays the average radon levels since powered-up or last reset with a maximum reading time of 5 years.
- Upon initial power-up, short-term and long-term readings will display after the first 48 hours.
- Audible alarm sounds if the long-term average reaches 4 pCi/L or greater or the short-term average stays above 4 pCi/L for 30 consecutive days.
- Samples air continuously with the display updated every hour.
- Conducts a failsafe self-test every 24 hours with an error code displayed if there is a failure.
- Menu button controls 4 functions.
- Switch between the short-term and long-term display, indicated by a green LED illuminated next to the S or L .
- Conduct a manual test of the detector.
- Mute or reactivate the audible alarm if the detector is in an alarm state.
- 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.
- Evaluated by US EPA and meets performance criteria to accurately and precisely measure radon.
- One year warranty.
