• Provides continuous visual indication of radiation levels and produces audible and/or visual alarms at any of six preset radiation levels
• Displays radiation level in bright color-coded lights
• Emits audible and/or visible signals whenever gamma radiation exceeds a user preset alarm level
• Optional remote alarm

Six range indicators (1, 2, 4, 8,16, and 32 mR/hr) clearly display an increase or decrease in radiation levels. Both visible and audio alarms can be set at any of the six levels by a front-panel adjustable control. The light for each level goes on when the radiation intensity reaches that level, and goes out when the rate drops below the level. This permits instant radiation-level recognition not available with meter-type instruments.

When the preset level is exceeded, personnel are alerted by bright flashing red lights and a loud intermittent audio signal. The alarm stops automatically when the radiation level falls below the preset value. A front-panel switch permits the selection of both the visible and
audible alarms or just the visible alarm. Fail-safe operation is assured by a light which continuously indicates background radiation and provides visual proof that the unit is functioning. The monitor will not jam or show false readings in high radiation fields.

The Primalert 35 contains an energy-compensated GM detector and features a convenient, automatic alarm reset. A mounting bracket and a 110 volt AC adapter/ power converter are also included. The optional Primalarm Remote Alarm provides the same audible and visible signals as the Primalert 35, up to 100 feet from the monitor.
