Falcon 8230-3462 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Falcon 8230-3462 control box actually do, and which operator does it go with?
The 8230-3462 is the control box for Falcon 8230 Series automatic door operators. It houses the operating control for the operator, so it is a replacement or build-out part for an existing 8230 head, not a complete operator and not a door closer. If the opening you are working on runs a different Falcon operator or a different brand's operator, this box is not the part; it is specified for the 8230 Series only.
2) I'm ordering Falcon 8230 operator parts. Is 8230-3462 one part number or do I have to pick options?
One part. The 8230-3462 is sold as a single item, the control box, with no finish, handing or size choice to make. There is nothing to specify alongside it on the order form. Handing and size decisions live with the operator and arm hardware, not with this box.
3) Does the Falcon 8230-3462 control box come with the mounting hardware and instructions to install it?
Treat the 8230-3462 as the box itself and plan the install from the operator's own documentation. Falcon specifies integrating it using the parent device's installation instructions, meaning the 8230 operator paperwork governs the mounting and the wiring, not a standalone sheet for the box. Anyone swapping one in the field should have the 8230 operator instructions on hand before opening the header.
4) Is the Falcon 8230-3462 the same thing as a door closer for an 8200 Series opening?
No, and it is a common mix-up. Falcon's 8200 line covers door controls broadly, and the 8230-3462 sits in it as an automatic operator component, not as a manual closer body, arm or cover. If what you need is to control closing speed and latching on a manually opened door, you want a closer from the 8200 closer range instead. The 3462 box only has a job if there is an 8230 automatic operator on the opening.
5) Is the Falcon 8230-3462 control box a commercial part or is it meant for residential doors?
Commercial. Falcon builds the 8230-3462 for commercial automatic entrances, the sort of traffic you get at retail entries, healthcare access points, school entries, office lobbies and multi-tenant common areas. Nothing in the 8230 automatic operator line is a residential product, so a property manager working a single-family unit is looking at the wrong family of hardware.
