The model 1029 continuous radon monitor is US EPA verified, NEHA-NRPP listed and evaluated and approved by the NRSB for use in real estate transaction testing. Its patented electronic detection device for measuring radon gas has been used commercially since 1986. The model 1029 is even more impressive with environmental sensors checking temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity to further assist with closed building conditions. It has twice the sensitivity of the 1027 and 1028 monitors and provides selectable interval settings to read as frequently as every half an hour.

About the 1029

Temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity are incorporated into reports.
A real-time clock allows time and dates to be included in each interval. A 12-hour delay
start can be pre-programmed to meet all proficiency program closed building procedures.
Selectable interval settings.
The monitor can be programmed to shut down when the test is complete.
Battery status displays prior to testing.
The software program allows “read only” time and date results to prevent tampering
once the test is complete.
Weather and test site conditions can also be added along with customer address and contact information.
Add photo images of the monitor location in the home.
USB cable included for Windows operating system only.
PC software, suitable for printing reports, is included with the instrument.
A serial port connection is available for both computer downloading and thermal print-outs.
Compact printer sold separately.
Optional carrying case sold separately.

The Information Setup Screen

On the main screen inspection page, download test results by clicking on the “retrieve data from monitor” button. View battery voltage, time and date, calibration and correction factor information. Prior to printing test results, complete customer address information and add images to your report.

Chart Detail Screen

View the chart details and check select boxes located at the bottom to add or delete radon intervals, motion detection or temperature, barometric pressure and humidity information displayed on the chart.

1029 Preferences Screen

Upon initial monitor setup, the parameters page contains the inspection company details and allows for time and date changes along with selectable picocuries or becquerel settings. A default PIN code 1111 can be changed to a four digit custom code to prevent others from reading or tampering during the test process. For Inspection Company setup, follow steps 1 through 3 and click "ok" when completed. The radon monitor should be clear of any test data and the display should show Start Test = 5 to allow changes.
