Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I detect ionizing radiation?
Detecting ionizing radiation is crucial for ensuring safety and health in environments where radiation levels may pose a risk. Ionizing radiation can damage living tissue and increase the risk of cancer, particularly with prolonged exposure. By monitoring ionizing radiation, you can identify and mitigate potential hazards in your home or workplace, adhere to safety guidelines, and maintain a healthy living environment.
What types of ionizing radiation can Aranet Radiation sensor detect?
Aranet Radiation sensor can detect γ (gamma), β (beta), and X-rays. However, it is designed to measure γ (gamma) radiation levels with high accuracy, thanks to its calibration using a Cs-137 radiation source. While it can detect β (beta) radiation and X-rays, it is not calibrated to provide precise quantitative measurements for these types.
How does Aranet Radiation sensor alert me to unhealthy radiation levels?
The sensor features both visual and audible alarm systems that activate when radiation levels exceed scientifically guided safe limits. These alarms are designed to promptly notify you of any environmental safety concerns.
Is Aranet Radiation sensor suitable for outdoor use?
While the sensor is portable and can be used in various environments, direct sunlight and high humidity (e.g. rainy days) should be avoided. Sun exposure can negatively affect the E-Ink display.
What should I do when reaching the dose accumulation time limit?
Upon reaching the limit, the device will update the total dose reading but stop increasing the accumulation time. You should reset the total dose reading using the button on the back of the device or through Aranet Home mobile app before reaching this limit to ensure continuous monitoring.
Can I turn off the audible ionizing radiation detection buzzer?
Yes, the instant audible ionizing radiation detection (auditory pulse counter) feature comes with a buzzer that can be easily switched off (2nd switch behind the batteries) if you prefer not to have audible alerts.
How does Aranet Home app enhance the use of Aranet Radiation sensor?
The Aranet Home app allows you to view 90-day historical data, helping you notice and analyze patterns in radiation levels. It also enables you to adjust device settings, including measurement intervals and alarm thresholds, for personalized monitoring.
How to export measurement data from Aranet Home App?
Simply go into your Aranet Home App, and tap onto the dashboard view in the top right corner. Once there, tap on the “Sharing” icon in the top right corner and choose how you would like to share or download it.
Do I need to register to use the device?
No registration is necessary. You can use Aranet Radon Plus sensor as a standalone device or sync it with the free Aranet Home app for a comprehensive data history and analysis.
Does it work without cables or Wi-Fi?
Yes. It’s battery-powered and cable-free. Bluetooth is optional and used only if you connect it to the Aranet Home app.
