Product Description
Digital Continuous Radon Gas Monitoring with Home Radon Alarm Protect your family from lung cancer from radon gas exposure with the only EPA evaluated radon gas alarm, the Safety Siren Pro 3 Electronic Radon Gas Detector from Family Safety Products. As seen on TV, this is not like a single use radon test detection kit: this digital radon gas monitor for home testing is a continuous radon tester that performs continuous radon gas monitoring. The clear, easily read digital radon level display shows short-term radon levels as well as long-term radon level averages. The Safety Siren electronic radon monitor gives its first radon reading after 48 hours of radon gas sampling. Radon gas in air or water is a health hazard resulting from uranium breaking down in soil. Exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Continuous home radon monitoring is recommended in high radon areas or when radon mitigation systems are used. Radon gas levels change according to humidity and season. See in.Radon Facts in. below the radon monitor information. Family Safety Products' Electronic Radon Meter Features: USA EPA Evaluated. Not for sale to residents of the State of Iowa nor for shipment to Iowa residents per Iowa Department of Public Health Rules, Chapters 43 (136B). Please contact the Iowa Department of Public Health at (515) 281-7689 for further information. Numeric LED radon gas detection level display range: .1 to 999.9 in pCi/L. Short and long term readings. Short-term readings: 7 day radon average. Long-term readings: radon averages since powered-up or last reset. 5-year maximum. Audible alarm if short or long-term radon gas averages are 4 pCi/L or greater. Continuously samples air . Display updates hourly. Failsafe self test: every 24 hours. Error code displays if test fails. 4 function menu button Green LED illuminates next to S (short-term) or L (long-term) display. User can manually test detector operation.

 Believe it really works November 8, 2007

The documentation I got with my house showed a radon reading above 50.0 before a mitigation system was installed and < 4.0 after it was installed.
The radon mitigation fan broke and I falsely thought painting / sealing the basement floor (years ago) would stop the radon.
After plugging in this unit I got a reading (after a few days) around 10.0 and it went up day by day. I replaced the mitigation fan when the reading was around 20.0. This unit then showed the level go down each day (took about 2 weeks to get to safe level).
Highly recommend this considering you can spend $15.00 a pop on those radon testers you mail in. One I used said I had a safe level.
Don't waste money on 4-day test kits! May 23, 2007

One neighbor in my development had a high test off a 4-day test ($30 charge) and it sent the other homeowners out to buy more of the $30 test kits and test their own homes. I was one of those. I spent $30 to find out I was at 13. Then I did a bunch of online research and found out that 4-day tests are very misleading because they can spike for a variety of reasons like if the ground is frozen, or it rains. Both of those scenarios were in play during my test. Some of the neighbors went out and spent money on abatement and a few more tests, so they are at $90 (+ abatement) and I assume they'll be doing more tests periodically to see if the abatement is still working. I got the Pro 3 and have had it going for a week now. My test kit for $30 said my reading was 13, but after 48 hours with the Pro 3 my first reading was about half that, 7.7. Then it went down to 4.8, and now it went back up to 8.0, all within 7 days. Why not buy the Pro 3 and get a more accurate reading over time?
A very good long-term solution to monitoring for radon December 25, 2006

Rather than pay for another 20 dollar one-time two-day radon test after my radon mitigation system was installed, I decided to get this detector instead. It was certainly worth the investment in continuous peace of mind. Just note that you'll need to do some minor installation since the detector needs to hang from a stud in your wall. You just can't plug it into an electrical outlet. I'd recommend it for anyone who has a basement or lives in an area with high concentrations of radon, even if you've had an earlier test done, since radon levels can change over time, particularly in newer houses as they "settle" and perhaps develop cracks where radon can get in. We tested in 1998 with a one-time test and got a reading of 3.7. We tested again just recently and got a reading of 7.8, which is what caused us to install the mitigation system.
works great February 8, 2007

The readings are real-time, albeit averaged over one week and thirty day time horizons.
The meter taught us that the radon is coming through our sump pump. We have a perimeter foundation drain that empties into our sump. When it's raining, our radon readings go up. When the ground is frozen the radon readings go way down. Now maybe we can manage the radon without buying a $1200 mitigation system.
Very nice small home radon measurment tool. March 18, 2006

Very good , everything OK , arrived on time , A would recommed this to everyone. The only remark would be to deliver universal power supply (EU and US norm 100-240AC) .and not only 110AC USA version
