Preface
Intended Use
The Model 1030 RadonSentinel is intended to be used by radon measurement
professionals for measurement of the indoor radon level in human dwellings.
Application
For a typical test, the radon monitor is set up in a building or structure to be
monitored, and the device is left unattended for the required test duration.
Ambient room air, laden with radon, diffuses into the radon monitor’s detection
chambers. Gaps between the base and the cover allow air to freely pass intothe
radon monitor. Radon decay by-products emit alpha particles which are detected
by the photo diodes and then counted. During a test, the number of counts
produced by the alpha particles is stored in memory and converted into radon
concentration (pCi/l) using the stored calibration factor. At the end of the test, the
results can be viewed on the radon monitor display, on a computer screen, or in
a printed report.
Health and Safety Instructions
Inspect all cables periodically for damage. Do not use any cable that is damaged
or has broken insulation. Replace the cable immediately. If any mechanical or
electrical degradation is suspected, contact SunRADON LLC for repair or
replacement.
Never pull on a cable to disconnect it. Always grasp the plug or connector.
CAUTION: Radon Sentinel Model 1030 should be used for indoor
applications only. Using in an outdoor environment may cause errors due
to humidity and extreme temperatures.
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this device must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth (ground).
WARNING: Never use the radon monitor in an area that could
contain explosive gases. A spark from inside the radon monitor could
ignite an explosion.
This equipment must be used in accordance with the instructions in
this manual. Read all instructions and safety labels before use.

iv
Check for physical damage prior to and after each use. If measurement errors or
device damage are suspected, contact SunRADON LLC.
Do not permit water or any other liquids to spill onto the device.
This device is not intended to be used in an oxygen rich environment.

Introduction
Description
The Radon Sentinel is adetection device used to measure the concentration of
radon gas. The unit is designed for professional inspectors to use in homes and
buildings. The Radon Sentinel is a continuous radon monitor that can be operated
using an AC adapter or four size C alkaline batteries.
The 16-character display on the Radon Sentinel shows instructions and radon
readings. Buttons below the display are used to enter data, set parameters, and
display data values. The Radon Sentinel connects to a computer via a USB cable
and the Continuous Radon Monitor software can then be used to download
measurements, set parameters, and print reports. See Radon Monitor Software
on page 11.

Model 1030 Radon Sentinel Operation
Connecting Power
The Radon Sentinel can be operated on battery power or AC power. When the
Radon Sentinel is connected to AC power, the battery provides back-up power.
Inserting Batteries
Disconnect the Radon Sentinel from AC power before installing batteries. A new
set of four size C alkaline batteries will operate the device for 300+ hours.
The battery compartment is accessed from the right side panel of the Model
1030 Radon Sentinel. Replacement batteries can be purchased from any retail
source.
1Remove the cap from one of the battery compartments by rotating it
counterclockwise.
2Insert two size C alkaline batteries, so that the negative end of the
battery goes into the compartment first.
Figure 2. Inserting Batteries
3Replace the battery compartment cap by pressing down on the cap while
turning it clockwise until it is tight.
Tip: Use two hands — hold cap down with your thumb and use your other
hand to tighten the cap. If cap is cross-threaded, remove it and realign
threads.
4Repeat steps 1through 3for the other battery compartment.
CAUTION: High humidity may shorten battery life. Connect the AC
power adapter when using the Model 1030 Radon Sentinel in areas
with high humidity.
Remove cap –
turn CCW
Unit uses four size C alkaline
batteries, two in each compartment

4
Connecting the AC Adapter
Use these instructions when using AC power for the primary power source and
the batteries as backup.
1Connect USB cable type A connector to USB port on ACadapter.
Figure 3. Connecting Power to the Model 1030 Radon Sentinel
2Plug USB cable type B connection into USB port on right side panel of
ModModel 1030 Radon Sentinel.
3Plug AC adapter into a 120-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz wall outlet.
Turning on the Display
There is no power switch or key sequence to power on/off the Model 1030 Radon
Sentinel. When the AC power adapter is connected, the monitor display is on
continuously, indicating that the power is successfully connected. If power is
removed or if running on batteries alone and no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes,
the display turns off automatically.
If the display is not on, press any button. After a few seconds, the display turns on
and shows the battery status.

momentarily (if set up) followed by the message: Ready to Test.
If a test is not started, the settings for Duration, Interval, and Delay appear. If there
is data in memory, the message Data inMemory! appears.
When Ready to Test displays, a test can be started, the setup can be changed, or
status for the following can be displayed: EPA, average or current radon values,
temperature, pressure, or humidity.
The display turns off automatically after approximately 3 minutes of inactivity
when the AC power is not connected. There is not an OFF switch or key sequence
to power off.

Replacing the Batteries
When the batteries are low or need to be replaced, a message displays on
the Model 1030 Radon Sentinel . The message will vary, depending upon
whether an external power source is used.
Use the instructions below to replace the batteries.
1If a test is in progress, connect the AC power adapter or wait for the test to
complete.
2Open battery compartments on right side panel and remove batteries.
3Insert four fresh size C alkaline batteries. See Inserting Batteries on page 3.
Note: Before clearing the memory, ensure that any test data that you
wish to save has been downloaded to your computer.
Low/No Battery! Battery does not have enough power for a 60-hour test.
Replace Battery! Replace the batteries as soon as convenient. Current test can
continue until complete if AC power is reliable. See Inserting
Batteries on page 3.
Shutting down... The system shuts down to save power.
No Extern. Power AC power should be connected to continue the test. At the
conclusion of the test, replace the batteries.
When the memory is full (that is, there are two tests in memory), the messages
“Memory Full” and “Download Data” alternate on the Radon Sentinel display.
These messages will appear when both memory slots have stored test data.
The memory is cleared using the keys on the Radon Sentinel. The instructions
below are written for a unit with two tests in memory.
If a test is in progress, stop the test. See Terminating a Test on page 8.1
