The AlphaSniffer is the fastest and most efficient tool for identifying radon ingress points in buildings and verifying the success of remediation measures. This makes it an essential instrument for any project focused on reducing radon levels.

Lightweight, robust, and highly versatile, the AlphaSniffer features a large OLED display for easy reading of measured values and a simple one-button operation for effortless use. It connects wirelessly to smartphones via Bluetooth Low Energy, enabling real-time data monitoring and control through the "Radon Sniffer" app, available for both Android and iOS devices.

Rapid Localization

With the AlphaSniffer, radon ingress paths can be detected within approximately 15 - 30 seconds. As the fastest radon detector on the market, it is an essential tool for effective radon remediation.

Precision Measurements

Accurate radon level quantification is achieved within just 5 minutes, including consideration of radon decay products for precise results.

Optimized Design

The device features a lightweight, compact, and user-friendly design. It includes a one-button start, a clear OLED display, and a rechargeable battery via micro USB for added convenience.

Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity

The AlphaSniffer connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The companion Radon Sniffer app is available for Android on Google Play and for iOS in the App Store.

USE IN RADON REMEDIATION

In its robust storage case, the AlphaSniffer is the trusted companion for any radon expert when diagnosing buildings.

Before starting remediation work, the AlphaSniffer allows you to locate radon entry points that could allow radon to infiltrate the building. This helps determine the full scope of the necessary actions. With a rapid response time of just 15 seconds, you can quickly identify the exact radon entry points.

Once remediation is completed, you can easily verify whether the measures were effective. Simply use the AlphaSniffer to check all areas where radon concentrations were previously high, and assess the overall indoor air quality with a quick 30-minute test.

FAQ

Is calibration of the AlphaSniffer necessary?

No, calibration of the AlphaSniffer is generally not required. If the device is used correctly, including self-calibration before (allowing it to calibrate for 5 minutes in fresh air) and after the measurement (letting it flush for 10 minutes in fresh air), it can be used for many years without needing factory recalibration. If calibration is needed, we would be happy to provide you with a personalized offer.

How long does the battery of the AlphaSniffer last?

The AlphaSniffer’s battery is designed to last for up to 10 hours of measurement time.

Can the AlphaSniffer be turned off during measurements?

No, we strongly advise against turning off the AlphaSniffer during measurements. The device’s algorithm detects radon decay during active measurement and accurately calculates late decay corrections. If the device is turned off during the measurement process, this data is lost, leading to potentially incorrect measurement results.

Does the AlphaSniffer need to be cleaned?

The AlphaSniffer itself does not require cleaning. However, the filter fleece and filter material in the intake pipe should be regularly cleaned or replaced to maintain optimal performance.

Can the AlphaSniffer be used for soil air measurements outdoors?

While the AlphaSniffer is primarily designed for indoor air measurements, it can also measure radon concentrations in soil air. However, precautions should be taken to prevent water or dirt from entering the device, as this can cause irreparable damage. Additionally, when measuring soil air, it is essential to ensure that no surface air is drawn into the device.

What is the measurement range of the AlphaSniffer?

The measurement range of the AlphaSniffer spans from 0 to 1,000,000 Bq/m³.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

1x AlphaSniffer radon detector

1x Air hose: Connects filter, desiccant and scintillation cell to each other. Only use the black air hose supplied with the AlphaSniffer. The coiled hose connects the desiccant tube to the "inlet" side of the scintillation cell.

1x Inlet filter tube (in the plastic tube): Air should flow through this tube before it enters the scintillation cell. A filter then removes the radon progeny and other particles from the air so that the radon levels can be calculated accurately. The inlet filter also removes excess moisture from the air, ensuring that the radon progeny in the cell are evenly removed from the plate.

1x USB cable: For charging the AlphaSniffer's internal batteries.

1x Wall-mounted charger: The charger should be connected to a standard 230 V socket.

1x Protective case with foam
