Check the expiration date on each device. Start your test before the expiration date or results are invalid.
When you are ready to start the test, remove the lid from the device. As soon as you remove the lid, the device is “ON” and the test has begun.
Write each device number along with your name, address, email address, test site address & zip code on the INFORMATION FORM below . Write in the test BEGINNING date & time! Also indicate the location, floor level & the name of room (ie. basement, living room, bedroom etc) where the device is being exposed. Be sure to print legibly so we can get your accurate results to you promptly.
PLACE THE RADON DEVICE. Device should be placed in the lowest level of the house that is regularly used for 8-10 hours per week. If making a follow-up measurement, the US EPA recommends placing a device on each level that is used for living space. Do NOT test in garage, porch, kitchen, closet, bathroom, furnace room, laundry room, root cellar, crawl space or sump. DO NOT place devices where they will be exposed to high humidity &/or noticeable drafts from open doors, windows, fireplace, heat/air conditioning vents etc. Place each device at least 3' from exterior doors or windows & at least 2' off the floor. If performing a duplicate test (typically for Real Estate Transactions), place 2 devices side by side 4” apart. Leave each device in place & undisturbed for 48-96 hours.
END RADON TEST. After 48 hours (and before 96 hours) securely replace the lid back on each device (if using canister, replace the vinyl tape where the base meets the lid. Do not cover device serial number with tape). Write the test ENDING date on the INFORMATION FORM below. Make sure the INFORMATION FORM is complete and LEGIBLE. If devices are exposed for less than 2 days or more than 4 days the results will be invalid. You will need to buy another kit & repeat the test.
