Because it generates X-rays from electric current under high voltage, there is \u003cstrong\u003eno sealed radioactive source to replace and no isotope decay to work around\u003c\/strong\u003e — the instrument does not weaken over its service life, and it emits nothing between tests or when powered off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReadings take \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 6 seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e and do not slow down as the instrument ages, which is the practical difference over an isotope-based analyzer on a large housing survey.
