  • Page 3 Operational Check is instead intended to be used to make a quick check that your RAD7 is seeing and correctly identifying counts from radon and thoron. With careful record-keeping, it can also be used to check for leaks in the RAD7’s internal sample path.
  • Page 4 2 OPERATIONAL CHECK After sitting sealed on a shelf for one month, the radon in the Operational Check container will have reached within 1% of a steady value, in which the rate of emission of radon into the container is equal to the rate of loss by decay and leakage.
  • Page 5 2.1 Purge the RAD7 First, purge the RAD7 with dry air in an open loop for at least 5 minutes, then switch to 1-day protocol: select Setup, Protocol, 1-day, and push [ENTER]. Start a reading, still sampling fresh air through a drying unit.
  • Page 6 2.6 Multiple RAD7s Before using the Operational Check to check a RAD7, the Operational Check must be left sealed for a month, in order for the radon inside the container to reach equilibrium. That means a RAD7 can have its operation checked each month on a regular basis. However, there is nothing to stop us hooking up multiple RAD7s in series in the loop connected to the Operational Check.
