Installation & Operation

  1. Verify electrical requirements match available power supply. Confirm 12 to 24V AC/DC voltage and current capacity before proceeding.
  2. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation. Follow all applicable electrical codes and safety procedures for hazardous locations.
  3. Mount the unit at the specified height between 11-1/2 feet and 23 feet ensuring adequate clearance for detection pattern and future service requirements.
  4. Route the 100 ft cable through appropriate explosion-proof conduit and use certified hazardous location connectors and wiring methods.
  5. Configure operational settings per application requirements and verify proper detection field coverage.
  6. Restore power and test all functions including normal operation, detection sensitivity, and integration with connected access control systems.
  7. Complete final inspection and document settings. Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete wiring diagrams, programming instructions, and troubleshooting for hazardous location applications.

BEA BEA-10FALCONEX100 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What mounting height does the FALCON EX 100 need, and what do I use for a lower ceiling?
The Falcon EX 100 mounts from 138 to 276 inches, so 11-1/2 to 23 feet. If your mounting point is lower than that, the Falcon EX XL 100 covers 78 to 138 inches (6.5 to 11.5 feet). For a wide opening at moderate height, the Falcon EX W 100 runs 138 to 252 inches (11.5 to 21 feet). Mount below the stated range for the model and the detection pattern lands short of where you want it.
2) How big an area does the FALCON EX explosion-proof radar sensor actually cover?
Coverage depends on which version you order. The Falcon EX 100 gives 156 x 192 inches (13 x 16 ft) at a 192 inch mounting height. The Falcon EX XL 100 gives 156 x 78 inches (13 x 6.5 ft) at 98.4 inches. The Falcon EX W 100 is the wide pattern, 360 x 132 inches (30 x 11 ft) at 252 inches. Tilt adjusts from -90 to 30 degrees in elevation, so you can bias the field toward the approach path.
3) Will the FALCON EX sensor's relay output drive my door operator or access control panel directly?
The output is a dry relay contact, free of potential, change-over type, so it's a volt-free contact you feed into an operator or panel input rather than a powered output. Limits are 42 VAC/VDC max contact voltage, 1 A resistive max current, and 30 W DC or 60 VA AC switching power. Anything heavier than that, a motor or a lock coil, needs an interposing relay. The sensor itself runs on 12 to 24 VAC or 12 to 24 VDC at under 2 W, 50 to 60 Hz mains.
4) Should I use a microwave radar sensor or an infrared presence sensor in a hazardous location doorway?
The FALCON EX is a motion-only microwave Doppler radar unit, radiating at 24.150 GHz with a minimum detection speed of 2 in/s. Motion detection means it triggers on someone approaching and drops out when they stop moving, which suits activation of a powered door or gate. It does not hold a presence signal for a stationary person, so if your application needs a safety hold in the door path you need a presence device in addition, not this instead. What radar buys you in a refinery or grain facility is that it works through the sealed explosion-proof housing and is not confused by steam, dust or temperature swings the way an optical device can be.
5) Can a BEA FALCON EX sensor be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The enclosure is NEMA 4X and IP66, and the housing is copper-free aluminum with an aluminum bracket, which is what you want around chemical exposure and hosedown. Operating temperature runs -22 deg F to 140 deg F, so unheated warehouses, cold storage docks and hot process areas are all inside the band. Copper-free aluminum matters in acetylene and ammonia service where copper alloys are restricted.
6) Which FALCON EX model do I order for a wide roll-up door versus a standard personnel door?
For a wide opening, the Falcon EX W 100 throws a 30 ft wide by 11 ft deep pattern at a 252 inch mount, which is the one that spans a truck bay or roll-up. A standard opening at high ceiling takes the Falcon EX 100 at 13 x 16 ft. Where the mount point is low, 6.5 to 11.5 ft, the Falcon EX XL 100 is the correct unit with a 13 x 6.5 ft field. All three share the same explosion-proof housing, 12 to 24 V AC/DC supply and relay output, so the choice is purely mounting height and pattern shape.
7) How long is the cable on the 10FALCONEX100 and can I run it back to a panel outside the classified area?
The 10FALCONEX100 comes with 100 ft of cable; BEA also builds the FALCON EX with a 30 ft lead. The 100 ft length is the one to specify when the control panel sits outside the classified area or in a remote motor control room. Route it in explosion-proof conduit through the 3/4 inch NPT entry with hazardous-location rated connectors and sealing per the area classification.
8) How do I confirm the FALCON EX radar is detecting correctly after installation without a laptop?
The unit has onboard LED signalling: green for value indication and red for detection state and parameter indication. You set the tilt within the -90 to 30 degree elevation range, walk the approach and watch the red LED to confirm the field is landing where you want it. Do the walk test before you close up the conduit run, because getting back to a unit mounted at 23 feet in a classified area is not a five-minute job.
