RAPID

ASSEMBLY

Reduce assembly time to a matterof minutes instead of hours

The Falcon Series rear-loading assembly system allowscomplete cable termination in just a few minutes andrequires no specialist tools or equipment.

The incoming cable is independently terminated on theremovable end-cap in the normal way and prepared readyfor connecting the cores to the contact insert.

A cutting gauge is incorporated to ensure that the cable

conductors are trimmed to the optimum length. Connectionscan be crimped or soldered and easily hand assembled intothe double-insulated contact cartridge. The cartridge is thensimply loaded into the rear of the connector and fixed in placewith two cap-head screws to complete the operation.

This two-point radial fixing has the added benefit thatcable rotation is completely eliminated.

Terminate; load; fix; done - complete assembly

in a matter of minutes.

LIVE

DISCONNECT

Engage or separate connectorswith live power applied

Falcon may be parted in the hazardous area for short periodsto allow maintenance or change out of equipment, followingnormal risk assesment proceedures. The electrical powersource must originate from the socket side of the connector sothe socket can be user installed in either the plug or receptacleto suit the application.

Alternatively, as all contact operations are contained withinfull Ex d protection, pilot circuit interlocking can be employedwhere regulation demands, to automatically isolate thesystem before disconnection is completed.

RAPID

CONNECTION

Almost instantaneous connect / disconnect without compromising safetyintegrity or robustness

The Falcon Series revolutionary two-stage bayonet coupling

system provides exceptionally fast mating and de-matingwith maximum safety and a high tolerance of debris andcontamination in tough site conditions. Terminate; load; fix; done.A solid and robust connection or disconnect in an instant.

Flame paths are shrouded at all times and are never exposed topotential damage.

In combination with the live disconnect option ofthe products, this rapid connection protocol will savetime and money in the harshest industrial environments wheresafety and productivity need to be maximised.The result is increased uptime for rigs, key machineryand temporary equipment.

DIRECT

BOX MOUNTING

Connect directly into Ex d and Ex eenclosures and equipment

Fixed versions of the Falcon receptacles are equipped withmounting bushes for direct fitting with Ex d or Ex e glandentries. A flange mounting version is also available for surfacemounting onto Ex e enclosures. Electrical connections are fullyencapsulated for explosion protection with a choice of wirelength to suit the application.

PINS &

SOCKETS

Pins or sockets can be inserted into either the male or female inserts according to application preference. Connections

can be crimped or soldered, in two available wire sizes 1.5 or 2.5 mm2.

Protective EarthA leading earth pin can be loaded into an insert, this is slightly longer than the standard pin and provides a first make,

last break safety earth connection. Internal earth terminals also permit the use of non-armoured cables.

Pilot Circuit InterlockingA lagging or short pilot pin can be loaded into a pin contact insert. This may be interconnected with the system control

circuits to isolate the system power and ensure that all contacts are dead on final separation.

INTRINSICALLY

SAFE CIRCUITS

All contact inserts are clearance compatible for use with approved intrinsically safe circuits up to 30 V where safety

circuits may be exiting an Ex d enclosure.

LIVE

DISCONNECT

Contact inserts for live disconnect applications are supplied with high clearance pins to maintain optimum

electrical separation.
