Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Primalarm 05-434 is a remote accessory which can be interfaced to a Primalert™ 10, 20, 35 or 50. The
Primalarm is a remote alarm device, which, when connected to a Primalert, provides the same reset
capability and audible/visual alarms as its measuring device.

Operators Manual
1.2 Specifications
Visual Alarm Two bright red incandescent lamps which flash at the same rate and at the
same time as the Primalert to which it is connected.
Audible Alarm 400 Hz tone alternating and actuated as on Primalert.
Alarm Switch Permits the operator to disable the Audible Alarm.
Power Indicator Green LED indicates power is being supplied to the Primalarm.
Fail-Safe Features Three items will cause the Primalarm to alarm continuously (no on-off
cycle):
• The Primalert to which it is interfaced is not connected to primary power.
• The cable connecting the Primalert to the Primalarm is broken or
disconnected.
• The internal power or power converter on the PRIMALERT’” is defective.

Mounting
Section 2
Installation
2.1 Mounting
The mounting bracket (102007) can be attached to any convenient vertical mounting surface. Before
mounting the bracket to the wall, ensure that the six-foot converter power cord will reach the nearest
power outlet.
The wall-mounting bracket comes supplied with double-sided foam tape already attached. Peel off the
protective paper covering and apply firmly to the mounting surface.
2
Once the unit is in place, the bracket cannot be
moved or removed without destroying the tape.
Make sure of your installation site before applying
the tape or mounting the unit. Mounting holes are
also provided if you wish to mount the unit using
screws.
CAUTION
2.2 Power
Connect the 100-foot cable to the Primalarm and the Primalert using the alarm jacks (the small jack
located on the bottom of both units). The plug on the end of the converter power cord (six feet long)
should be inserted into the power jack (the larger jack located on the bottom of the unit), then the
converter should be plugged into a wall outlet.
2.3 Optional Power
In case operation of the Primalert on a source of 12 to 16 VDC power, such as a storage battery, is
desired, the converter plug supplies this voltage. The plug is a Switchcraft No. 50760, or equivalent, with
the sleeve negative and the tip positive. The current drain at background radiation levels is about 10 mA,
and about 250 mA at full alarm levels.

2.4 Grounding
If it is desired to ground the instrument with a separate ground wire, as required under certain codes,
Figure 2-1 shows how to accomplish this. Remove the back cover by loosening the single screw in the
center of the cover. Note the position of the ground terminal in Figure 2-1. Attach the wire by running it
up through the small hole between the jacks. Wire used for this purpose should be at least a #16 gauge.

3.1 Operation
1. Connect the Primalarm to the Primalert as described in Section 2, Installation.
2. Make sure the Primalert is operating properly.
3. Plug in the converter power cord as described in Section 2, Installation. The green POWER
INDICATOR should light.
4. If the Primalarm audible/visual alarms should alarm continuously, there is a break in the cable
to the Primalert, or the Primalert has no input or internal power.
5. There is a panel switch on the front of the Primalarm which will disable the audible alarm. It
has no effect on the visual alarm.
6. The alarms of the Primalarm will actuate simultaneously with those on the Primalert with
which it is connected.

3.2 Routine Cleaning
Do not immerse the Model 05-434 Primalarm. The
unit is not waterproof. Liquid could damage the
circuits. The unit should be kept clean and free
from dirt and contamination. The unit may be
cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth using any
commercially available cleaning or decontaminating
agent.
