Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide for a tamper resistant radon detector monitoring system. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing:
- a radon sensor encased within the housing and adapted to sense radon and to provide radon data indicative of sensed radon;
- a controller encased within the housing and coupled to the radon sensor and adapted to receive, over a predetermined period of time, radon data from the radon sensor and validation data to validate a radon test that utilizes the radon data;
- a memory adapted to store the received radon data;
- and
- the controller being further adapted to clear the memory in an event that the apparatus is powered-off for more than a predetermined reset period.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a radon detector having a detector housing and a radon sensor encased within the detector housing, the radon sensor adapted to sense radon and to provide radon data indicative of sensed radon;
- an analyzer;
- a collector having a collector housing, a controller encased within the collector housing, a first interface, and a second interface;
- the controller communicatively coupled to the radon detector via the first interface and adapted to receive, over a predetermined period of time, radon data from the radon sensor and validation data to validate a radon test that utilizes the radon data, the controller further communicatively coupled to the analyzer via the second interface and adapted to transmit the radon data and the validation data to the analyzer, the analyzer adapted to validate the radon test based at least in part on the validation data;
- and
- an origination point of a reset command for the radon detector, the origination point consisting of the collector and/or the analyzer.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a radon detector having a detector housing and a radon sensor and power module encased within the detector housing, the radon sensor adapted to sense radon and to provide radon data indicative if sensed radon;
- a collector having a collector housing and a controller encased within the collector housing, the controller communicatively coupled to the radon sensor and adapted to receive, over a predetermined period of time, radon data from the radon sensor and validation data to validate a radon test that utilizes the radon data;
- and
- the power module is adapted to supply power to the collector, and the controller, following a period of time during which the collector is powered off, is adapted to provide a reset command to the radon detector if the period of time is greater than a predetermined reset period.

A system comprising:
- a radon detector having a detector housing and a radon sensor encased within the detector housing, the radon sensor adapted to sense radon and to provide radon data indicative of sensed radon;
- a collector having a collector housing and a controller encased within the collector housing, the controller communicatively coupled to the radon sensor and adapted to receive, over a predetermined period of time, radon data from the radon sensor and validation data to validate a radon test that utilizies the radon data, the controller being further adapted to suppress radon data from the radon sensor for a suppression period.
A method comprising:
- receiving, over a predetermined period of time, radon data indicative of sensed radon;
- receiving, over the predetermined period of time, validation data to validate a radon test that utilizes said received radon data;
- receiving an indication that a radon detector accumulating the radon data was powered off for an amount of time;
- and
- providing a reset command to the radon detector if the amount of time is greater than a predetermined reset period.

A machine-accessible medium having associated instructions, which, when accessed, results in a machine:
- receiving, over a predetermined period of time, radon data indicative of sensed radon;
- receiving, over the predetermined period of time, validation data to validate a radon test that utilizes said received radon data;
- receiving an indication that a radon detector accumulating the radon data was powered off for an amount of time;
- and
- providing a reset command to the radon detector if the amount of time is greater than a predetermined reset period.
