FALCON 14 M - FALCON 14 MC - FALCON 20 M- FALCON 20 MC - FALCON
15 M - FALCON 15 MC - FALCON 20 M 3PH
The FALCON gearmotor for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical opera-
tor which transmits drive to the sliding leaf by a rack and pinion or by a
chain suitably coupled to the gate.
The non-reversing system guarantees mechanical locking of the gate
when the motor is not operating and, therefore, there is no need to install
any lock.
The gearmotor does not have a mechanical clutch and, therefore,
requires a control unit with an adjustable electronic clutch which
guarantees the necessary anti-crushing safety.
A handy manual release with a customised key makes the gate manoeu-
vrable in case of a power cut or trouble.
In the "C" version gearmotors, the electronic control unit is housed inside
the operator.
The FALCON gearmotor was designed and built for controlling
vehicle access. Do not use in any different way.

3. MAXIMUM USE CURVE
The curve makes it possible to
establish maximum work time (T)
according to use frequency (F).
With reference to standard IEC
34-1, the FALCON gearmotor,
with service type S3, can oper-
ate at use frequency of 40%.
To ensure efficient operation,
operate in the work range under
the curve.
Important: The curve is
obtained at a tempera-
ture of 20°C. Exposure to
the direct sun rays can
reduce use frequency
down to 20%.
Calculation of use frequency
The percentage of effective work time (opening + closing) compared to
total time of cycle (opening + closing + pause times).
Calculation formula:
% F =
Ta + Tc + Tp + Ti
where:
Ta =
opening time
Tc =
closing time
Tp =
pause time
Ti =
interval time between one complete cycle and another
