BEA 10FALCON / 10FALCONXL / 10FALCONW

The BEA FALCON family are microwave motion sensors for industrial doors, vehicle gates and barrier arms. The FALCON mounts 11.5 to 23 ft high, the FALCON XL 6.5 to 11.5 ft and the FALCON WIDE covers wide paths.

They reject pedestrians and parallel traffic to cut unneeded door cycles, run on 12 to 24 VAC or VDC and have an IP65 housing.

Troubleshooting

Door stays closed, LED off

  • Check power and wiring.

Door opens and closes over and over

  • Secure the sensor. Set unidirectional mode. Increase the tilt angle and detection filter. Reduce the field.

Door opens for no reason

  • Rain or vibration: set unidirectional mode and raise the detection filter.
  • Reflective area: change the antenna angle, raise the filter and reduce the field.

Pedestrians still detected with the vehicle filter on

  • Raise the detection filter, decrease the sensor angle or mount it higher.

No response to the remote

  • Check the remote batteries.
  • If the LED flashes fast after unlocking, enter the access code.

Common questions

FALCON for 11.5 to 23 ft mounting, FALCON XL for 6.5 to 11.5 ft, and FALCON WIDE for wide openings.

Yes. It is used for vehicle gates, barrier arms and parking garage detection.

No. FALCON is motion only. Add a presence sensor or use a dual technology sensor such as the IS40.
