Radon monitor / measures concentration of radon in buildings /
software included in delivery / high accuracy / simple handling / long battery
lifetime / various measuring modes
|
The
digital Radon monitor measures the radon concentration within buildings. The
canary pro radon monitor supports transferring all the collected data via
wireless interface to a computer. The data can be then evaluated and analyzed by
means of an accordant software. The canary pro radon monitor is a digital
version of a detector recollecting smallest traces. The detection is supported
due to the diffusion of the gasiform radon into a sample container. Inside this
container the radon collapses and radiates onto a silicium photo diode. During
the clash of the particles onto the diode, a low electricity signal is
generated, which is reinforced by the measuring device. Thus the generated
amplitude is then shown as a measuring value. The calculation of the mean value
throughout the day is then generated by the number of the isotopes radon 222,
polonium 218 and polonium 214. The calculation of the mean value for long-term
measurements does then function only via the number of isotopes of radon 222.
The battery automatically calibrated periodically, and the collected data is
then stored with a 2 hours resolution. In order to maintain a reliable
measurement at all times the device was calibrated with a reference instrument.
These reference devices are calibrated in special laboratories. The lifetime of
the battery is usually three years. For the operation of the radon monitor there
is no special knowledge about the measurement method required. After the
installation of the radon monitor in the relevant building, the device operates
fully automated. Further information about the relevant guidelines as well as
general information on radon is given below, as well as on the site > radon
meters. Although the device features an opening on its backside, it should not
be installed on a wall, since the measurements could be falsified by that.
According to authorities and experts it is advised to place the device with the
its display pointing upwards. Additionally it is important to install the radon
monitor within rooms that are next to the base of the building. It should be
considered that the device must be installed with a distance of at least 25 cm
to the next wall, at least 50 cm above the floor and at least 150 cm from the
next air in- and outlet. The radon monitor canary pro is immediately ready for
operation after inserting the batteries. If there are any questions about this
