Description
BEA's FALCON EX combines a microwave activation sensor with an explosion-proof / flame-proof housing, ideal for unique environments such as chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, and agriculture.
The FALCON EX can be mounted from 11 1/2 feet to 23 feet for industrial applications. For lower mounting heights, BEA's FALCON EX XL is available, mounted from 6 1/2 feet to 11 1/2 feet. The FALCON EX WIDE is designed for wide detection fields, with a mounting height range of 11 1/2 feet to 21 feet.
The explosion-proof / flame-proof housing is a NEMA 4X, water-proof rated enclosure designed as an IP66 housing. This housing achieves UL Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C, D; Class II, Div. 1 & 2, Groups E, F, G; and Class III*. (*Adalet / Scott Fetzer Co., UL Listing #E81696)
