Operating instructions for the Long-Term Kit are furnished to you with specific steps, which must be followed by you. If these instructions are not followed correctly, National Safety Products, Inc. cannot provide any warranty remedy to you for any claims, which arise due to the failure to follow instructions.
If you do
not understand the instructions, STOP! - Do not use
the detector until you have called or written for clarification by
National Safety Products, Inc.
The
Long-term Alpha Track Detector will measure average radon concentrations in your
home or building during the testing period. Radon concentrations can vary
considerably throughout the year due to many factors. National Safety Products
recommends a 3 to 12 month testing period to obtain reliable information about
your average annual radon exposure.
Detectors
should be placed in the basement if one exists. Avoid garages, root cellars,
crawl spaces and sumps. If testing more than one area of your home, place the
other detector in a frequently used living area, such as a bedroom, living room,
kitchen or den. They should be placed near an inside wall at least 30 inches
above the floor or at least 8 inches from the ceiling.
Detectors
should NOT be placed in bathrooms, laundry rooms or
porches. DO NOT place detectors where they will be
exposed to noticeable drafts from an open door, window, fireplace, heat or air
conditioning vents, etc. DO NOT place detectors
close to the outside walls of the house.
Detectors
should be placed where they will not be disturbed during the measurement period.
After
finding a suitable location to place the detector, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the detector from
the pouch. Discard the sorbit (the cloth looking little bag). The detector is activated as soon as
it is removed from the pouch.
DO
NOT OPEN THE DETECTOR ITSELF OR THE TEST WILL BE INVALID.
Save
the box, bag and label for return mail.
2.
Write the serial number that appears on the detector on your INFORMATION CARD
along with your name, address, and phone number. Also, YOU MUST WRITE IN
THE DATE THAT YOU PLACE YOUR DETECTOR.
This
information is necessary for the analysis.
3. Write on the INFORMATION CARD the type of room (i.e., basement, living room, bedroom, etc.) where the detector is being exposed. Also write the floor level on which your detector is placed (i.e. basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, etc.).
4. The detector can be placed on a bookcase, a table, a shelf, or any flat surface or you may wish to hang the detector.
5. Three months to twelve months is the recommended amount of time to expose your detector.
6.
At the END of the radon-testing period, WRITE
THE DATE ON THE INFORMATION CARD -
This is also
necessary for the analysis. Remove the white copy of the INFORMATION
CARD and keep it for your records.
7. Use the checklist offered below to assure information is complete. Place the detector and information card in the box. Affix the pre‑printed mailing label included, and then tape the mailing box closed.
