1. Remove Radon Monitor from packaging…

2. Pull back monitors battery cover

3. Insert four (4) “C” batteries… “-” on battery to be placed against the springs and “+” against the flat battery contact tab.

4. Snap close battery compartment door

5. The Radon Monitor will indicate the following.. “Radon Monitor On” then “Resetting” then “2 Day Level in 48 hrs” then “30 days until 30 day average”

6. Place the Radon Monitor in accordance to placement guidelines.

The monitor will provide an average Radon reading in pico curies per liter, representative of a rolling 30 day average and also the most recent 48 hours. These averages will be computed and displayed on the display when the button is pushed and quickly released.

Note that the EPA action level for recommended Radon Mitigation is 4.0 pCi/L, at or above this level you should consider mitigating the property being monitored.

The object of placing the monitor is to allow passive air flow into the monitor via the vent slots on the back side of the monitor.

The monitor should be placed in the lowest habitable area of the home or business. Basements, whether finished or not, are preferred. If your home is built over a crawl space or on a concrete slab, you should then place the monitor on the main floor immediately adjacent to the crawl space or slab.

Whether the monitor is in the basement or on the main floor, note the following placement procedure;

• Place the monitor so that it is elevated between 20 inches to 6 feet from the floor.
• Place the  monitor in an area where it will not be disturbed.
• Place the monitor at least three feet from any doors or windows to the exterior.
• Place the monitor at least one foot from the wall.
• Place the monitor at least four inches from any other object.
• Place the monitor at least four feet from direct heat, fireplaces and furnaces.
• Keep away from fans, drafty areas, direct sunlight, televisions, radios, and never place the monitor on top of a computer.
• NOTE: Do not place the monitor in kitchens, bathrooms or laundry rooms.

To check the average level of Radon simply push and release the black button and the following will appear on the display… (“x” represents potential numeral)

    Before first 48 hours of operation….

“48 hour level in xx hours” then “xx days until 30 day average”

  After 48 hours but less than 30 days….

“48 hour level xxx.x pCi then “xx days until 30 day average”

    After 30 days of monitoring….

“30 day average xxx.x pCi” then “2 day level xxx.x pCi”

    If EPA Action level of 4.0 pCi exceeded….

“EPA level (4.0 pCi) exceeded” then “Mitigation suggested”

To clear and reset, simple hold down button until you hear a long beep and display should indicate “Resetting” then “2 Day Level in 48 hrs” then “30 days until 30 day average”.

This will indicate that all measurements in the monitor are clear and a new time period will be established.

If your monitor alarms and you are at or above the EPA’s 4.0 pCi/L action level, you should consider having a Radon Mitigation System installed. 

You may contact your States Radon Office, States Health Department, or the Federal EPA (website: www.epa.gov, phone: 800-438-4318) for more information regarding Radon Mitigation.

States that regulate Radon testing and mitigation can be found at the National Radon Proficiency Program (website: www.neha-nrpp.org, phone: (800-269-4174).
