Applications: Radon monitoring in residential buildings, radon control in workplaces, schools, etc

Product overview

The specifics

Protect health with Radon detection

Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps into buildings from the ground and can accumulate to dangerous levels, especially in enclosed spaces. Long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. That’s why monitoring and reducing radon levels is critical for health and safety.

How does CHESTER measure Radon

Radon measurements are provided by the Radon Probe from the Czech manufacturer PIKETRONIC. It features a precision semiconductor photodetector and a robust, wall-mountable design. Communication with CHESTER runs over the RS485 bus, allowing up to 32 devices to be connected for large-scale monitoring.

Remote monitoring

Thanks to the HARDWARIO CHESTER platform, transferring data to the cloud is easy. The values can then be readily displayed on a dashboard, where alarms can trigger if the radon level exceeds the predefined threshold.

Easy setup and configuration

Our catalog applications are made to be set up simply and quickly. After you choose your application and get your package, just install CHESTER in the desired location, register it to our cloud and you will get the data to your dashboard that is created based on the selected application.
