1.0 SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The GP500 is intended for use by trained, professional Radon mitigators. The
purpose of this instruction is to provide additional guidance for the most
effective use of the GP500. This instruction should be considered as a supplement
to EPA standard practices, state and local building codes and state regulations.
In the event of a conflict, those codes, practices and regulations take precedence
over this instruction.
1.2 ENVIRONMENTALS
The GP500 is designed to perform year-round in all but the harshest climates
without additional concern for temperature or weather. For installations in an
area of severe cold weather, please contact RadonAway for assistance. When not in
operation, the GP500 should be stored in an area where the temperature is never
less than 32 degrees F. or more than 100 degrees F. When the unit is turned off
for extended periods of time the drain plug should be removed from the bottom of
the unit.
1.3 ACOUSTICS
The GP500, when installed properly, operates with little or no noticeable noise to
the building occupants. Insure a solid mounting for the GP500 to avoid
structure-borne vibration or noise.
The velocity of the outgoing air must also be considered in the overall system
design. In some cases the "rushing" sound of the outlet air may be disturbing.
In these instances, the use of a RadonAway Exhaust Muffler is recommended.
1.4 GROUND WATER
In the event that a temporary high water table results in water at or above slab
level, water may be drawn into the riser pipes thus blocking air flow to the
GP500. The lack of cooling air may result in the GP500 cycling on and off as the
internal temperature rises above the thermal cutoff and falls upon shutoff.
Should this condition arise, the GP500 should be disconnected until the water
recedes allowing for return to normal operation.
