  • Page 2: The Instrument

    The instrument General The new Radon Scout is a versatile, easy to use and state-of-the-art instrument focussed on the detection of Radon (Rn-222) in the ambient air. Beside the activity concentration of Radon, air temperature and relative humidity and barometric pressure in case of the RADON-SCOUT PLUS will be determined and saved to a non-volatile circular memory (first in - first out).
  • Page 3: Power Supply

    SARAD RADON-SCOUT Power supply Power supply of Radon-Scout is realised by two D size (Mono) batteries (also rechargeable). To open the battery slot, screw out the cover anticlockwise using a screw driver or a coin. Please pay special attention to the correct polarity of the batteries when inserted. The positive pole needs to be contacted to the front panel.
  • Page 4: Start Of A Measurement

    SARAD RADON-SCOUT If the cell voltage drops further below 0.95 Volts, the measurement is stopped automatically and the device enters into the stand-by modus. Discharged batteries are indicated by the red LED, flashing each four seconds. Start of a measurement Setting the toggle switch to the right starts the measurement of the Radon activity concentration in the ambient air.
  • Page 5: Selection Of The Right Integration Interval

    The RS232 port is also used for connecting a modem or ZigBee wireless adapter. Alternatively, the USB port can be used for communication. In that case, a software driver (available on SARAD website) must be loaded and installed before. The communication path appears as an additional COM port in RadonVision.

    Therefore, the sampling interval must be set at least to two minutes. The alert threshold is fixed at 300Bq/m³ for the Radon Scout while it is user adjustable in the Radon Scout PLUS. The connector is located on the rear panel of the instrument. In case of pending alert, the red light at the front panel will blink instead of the green one.
