Introduction Product Description 1 Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description The Primalert® 35 Area Radiation Monitor provides reliable, continuous monitoring of radioactive materials. Six front panel, color-coded LED's (1, 2, 4, 8,16, and 32 mR/h) indicate an increase or decrease in radiation level. The LED for each level lights as the radiation reaches that level and goes out as the radiation drops below that level.
Victoreen 05-437 Operators Manual 1.2 Specifications Detector Energy-compensated G-M tube Energy Dependence 10% to 40% from 50 KeV to 2 MeV, as referenced to 137Cs Overload Protection Alarms in fields higher than 100 R/h when detector is completely blocked for pulse operation. Operation Indicator Provide continuous visual indication of background radiation.

Getting Started Receiving Inspection 2 Section 2 Getting Started 2.1 Receiving Inspection Upon receipt of the unit: 1. Inspect the carton(s) and contents for damage. If damage is evident, file a claim with the carrier and notify Fluke Biomedical, Radiation Management Services at 440.248.9300. 2. Remove the contents from the packing material. 3. Verify that all items listed on the packing list have been received and are in good condition.
Victoreen 05-437 Operators Manual 2.4 Optional Power The Primapak II storage battery supplies a source of 12-16 Volt DC power to the Primalert using the converter plug connection. The plug is a Switchcraft #760, or equivalent, with the sleeve negative and pin positive. The current drain at background radiation levels is about 25 mA, and about 250 mA at full alarm levels. The optional Primapak II Back-up Battery Pack, Model No. 05-441, is available as an optional power source for the Primalert.
Operation Set Up 3 Section 3 Operation 3.1 Set Up The only set-up required for the Primalarm is the attachment of one end of the power cord (converter) to the unit and the other end into a properly grounded AC outlet as noted in Section 2. When power is first applied to the unit, the alarm and one or more of the LED's may light. After a maximum of three seconds, the indicators will extinguish and the alarm will reset.
