This detector allows the homeowner to monitor the radon levels in their home by displaying short-term and long-term averages.   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 Series3 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. 1. Switch between the short-term and long-term display, indicated by a green LED illuminated next to the S or L .2. Conduct a manual test of the detector.3. Mute or reactivate the audible alarm if the detector is in an alarm state.4. 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 measured radon.     One year warranty.   Radon Risk If You've Never Smoked Radon Level If 1,000 people who never smoked were exposed to this level over a lifetime*...
