Battery backup for Sun nuclear 1027

[David C. Macy]

I had a radon test to set up this afternoon. The power was out at the house and the sun nuclear only has a 20 hour battery life on the model 1027.

I want to buy a 1028 but the monitor is still awaiting approval from the EPA.

I just love to drive 50+ miles & spend almost 2 hours for nothing. I called the agent & client and told them they need to have the power restored for the inspection on Monday.

Anyone have any expierences with the sun monitors or own a 1028 or 1029.

The radalink had a better battery backup then the sun 1027 but I still prefer the Sun over radalink.

Thanks

Are the lithium batteries an option?

I think they have a 10+ times life expectancy verses regular batteries.

BTW, I tell people who use the CR's to pick up a free set of AC from AirChek, http://radon-pro.com/new-pros.html. Just in case.

No good for PA. You can only use the methods for which you hold a License.

For those using CRM's it is best to have an additional method on your License. For myself, it is Sun Nuclear and E-Perm.

Good point Joe!

Getting cert for AC's should be easier than CR's, and still good for the backup.
