RAD-S50 Radon Gas Sensor Silicon Detector 5-65535 Bq/m³ Static Diffusion UART I2C Output Indoor Monitoring
RAD-S50 Radon Gas Sensor — Precision Silicon Detector for Continuous Indoor Radon Monitoring
Shenzhen, China — The RAD-S50 is a high-performance radon gas sensor module engineered by Wanyi Technology (brand: CESTSEN) for long-term continuous monitoring of radon concentration in indoor environments. Featuring a large-area silicon detector with static diffusion sampling, the RAD-S50 delivers reliable measurements across a wide dynamic range from 5 to 65,535 Bq/m³ with exceptional sensitivity of 0.027 cph/[Bq/m³].
Product Overview
The RAD-S50 radon detector measures radon gas concentration through the principle of static diffusion. By leveraging the radioactive properties of radon gas and its decay products, the sensor acquires alpha counts via a high-performance silicon detector (100mm² sensitive area, 10*10mm) and an advanced signal acquisition system. The integrated algorithm calculates precise radon concentration values, achieving continuous, unattended environmental monitoring with minimal power consumption.
