Falcon FAL8310-865 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Falcon 8310-865 wireless receiver actually do in a touchless door system?
The 8310-865 is a single channel wireless receiver that picks up the signal from wireless push plate actuators or transmitters and passes the open command to a low energy door operator. It is the radio half of a touchless entry setup: actuator or transmitter on the wall, receiver at the operator. It works with LCN and Falcon low energy operators.
2) What is the sequencing feature on the 8310-865 receiver for?
Sequencing is what you need on a vestibule or airlock with two powered doors. Rather than both leaves opening at once, the receiver times the operators so the second door opens after the first, which is how you keep an air seal and avoid two doors swinging into the same traffic path. It is built into the 8310-865, so you do not add a separate sequencer module.
3) Do I still need transmitters or push plates if I buy the 8310-865 receiver?
Yes. The receiver alone does nothing on its own. It is used in conjunction with wireless actuators and transmitters, so you order the wall plate actuator or hand-held transmitter separately and pair it to the receiver. Budget the job as receiver plus at least one transmitting device per opening.
4) Is the LCN 8310-865 receiver the same part as the Falcon 8310-865?
They are the same single channel wireless receiver with the sequencing feature, branded for the two Allegion lines. The Falcon 8310-865 is a single channel wireless receiver with sequencing used with wireless actuators and transmitters on LCN and Falcon low energy operators, and the LCN 8310-865 is likewise a single channel wireless receiver with sequencing for touchless access control. If a submittal calls out one brand and you have the other on the shelf, the function is the same.
5) We have low-E storefront glass and range problems. Is there a better receiver choice than the 8310-865?
The Falcon 8310-865 is a 433 MHz single channel receiver used with wireless actuators and transmitters. Where low-E glass is in the transmission path, the BEA 10RD900 digital receiver module runs at 900 MHz and is described with 500 foot range and low-E glass penetration. Note that changing receivers means changing to matching 900 MHz transmitters, and the 900 MHz module is not tied to LCN and Falcon low energy operators the way the 8310-865 is.
6) Do I need anything besides the 8310-865 to get a touchless push plate working, or is there a kit?
The Falcon 8310-865 is the receiver only and is used in conjunction with wireless actuators and transmitters, so the actuator plates and transmitters are ordered separately. If you want the receiver and transmitters in one box, the Locknetics WRT-K is a wireless receiver and two transmitter kit. Choose the 8310-865 when you are adding to or matching an existing LCN or Falcon low energy operator setup.
7) Can the 8310-865 receiver be used with a push plate mounted outside in the weather?
The 8310-865 is listed weather resistant, so it holds up in an exterior application such as a garage entry or a covered exterior vestibule. It is a commercial-duty device, not a residential one, and the housing carries a plated finish.
8) Is the Falcon 8310-865 receiver suitable for an ADA touchless entrance?
Yes, the 8310-865 is flagged ADA compliant and is the receiver used for touchless actuation on low energy operators, which is the usual way an accessible entrance gets powered opening without contact.
9) What are my options if my operator is not an LCN or Falcon low energy operator?
The 8310-865 is specified for LCN and Falcon low energy operators. For other operators or for a general dry-contact wireless release, BEA receivers are the common alternative: the 10RD433 digital receiver on 433 MHz, the 10R300 analog receiver on 300 MHz, and the 10RD900 digital module on 900 MHz, which BEA rates at 500 feet of range and for penetrating low-E glass. For simply releasing a lock or magnet wirelessly, the Locknetics WRT-K kit ships a receiver with two transmitters.
10) I need to control two separate doors from different push plates. Will one 8310-865 do it?
Not as two independent doors. The 8310-865 is a single channel receiver, so everything paired to it triggers the same channel. Its sequencing feature is meant for two operators working together on one vestibule opening, not for two unrelated doors. Two independent openings means one receiver per opening.
11) If I already have a wireless push plate on an LCN operator, can I add the 8310-865 to get vestibule sequencing?
Yes, that is the usual reason to swap in the 8310-865. It is the single channel receiver that carries the sequencing feature, it takes the same wireless actuators and transmitters you already have on the wall, and it is specified for LCN and Falcon low energy operators. Allegion publishes a 433 MHz transmitter and receiver installation instruction sheet for the 8310-865 covering the pairing procedure.
12) What is the difference between an analog receiver like the BEA 10R300 and the digital 8310-865 type units?
The BEA 10R300 is an analog receiver operating at 300 MHz with 12-24V power, while the BEA 10RD433 is a digital receiver at 433 MHz on the same 12-24V power. The Falcon 8310-865 is a single channel wireless receiver with a sequencing feature, which lets it stage the door sequence for an LCN or Falcon low energy operator rather than simply passing a dry activation. Pick by the transmitter family already installed and by whether you need sequencing.
13) Can I use a BEA receiver in place of the 8310-865 on an exterior opening?
The Falcon 8310-865 is a commercial, weather resistant receiver carried with a plated finish. The BEA alternatives are the 10R300 at 300 MHz, the 10RD433 at 433 MHz and the 10RD900 at 900 MHz, all wireless access control receivers. For an exterior door tied to an LCN or Falcon low energy operator, the 8310-865 is the direct fit; a BEA receiver would be the choice where the operator or transmitters are from a different family.
