Preface
Application
The Continuous Radon Monitor, Model 1027, is intended for use in indoor
applications of radon gas sampling. In a typical test the user locates the Model
1027 in the home to be monitored, connects power, and leaves the Model 1027
unattended for a period of two or more days. Ambient room air diffuses into the
Model 1027’s detection chamber. Radon decay by-products emit alpha particles
which are detected by the photodiode.
At the end of the monitoring period, the results are available in any of three forms:
numerical display on the control panel, printed report on the optional printer, or
computer display. Once data is downloaded to the computer, a report can be
printed using standard programs.
After obtaining report data, the memory can be cleared and a new test can begin.
The instrument is completely reusable and requires no supplies except power
and an optional backup battery.
The printer need not be present during testing. The Model 1027 can be moved
from the test site, and the report printed later. If multiple tests must be run
simultaneously, a single printer or computer can support many radon monitors.
Health and Safety Instructions
To protect Continuous Radon Monitor performance and cable insulation, never
pull on a cable to disconnect it. Always grasp the plug or connector.
Inspect all cables periodically for damage. Do not use any cable that is damaged
or has broken insulation. Replace the cable immediately. If any mechanical or
electrical degradation is suspected, contact Sun Nuclear Corporation for repair or
replacement.
Check for physical damage prior to and after each use.
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this device must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth (ground).
WARNING: Never use the radon monitor in an area that could contain
explosive gases. A spark from inside the device could ignite an
explosion.
