Show the intended vehicle paths and indicate which movements should produce a detection event, including nearby movements that should not. Use this requirement to confirm the exact detector’s supported behavior, orientation and controller configuration. Do not assume that pointing the unit toward a lane establishes every required direction distinction; verify the accepted cases on site.
Vehicle detection
Falcon vehicle detector
The Falcon detector uses microwave radar for vehicle detection and connects to the lane controls through a compatible interface. Its mounting position and orientation define where it observes the approach; choose the configuration around the vehicle event the entrance needs.

Choosing a Falcon detector
What should Falcon detection do in your lane?
Define the event the controller needs before positioning the detector. The listed technical specifications describe the device; the installation determines how that device serves the entrance.
Is the Falcon detector a radar?
Yes. The listed detection method is microwave radar. Use the technical specifications below when matching the detector to the project, and confirm the exact product reference before replacing existing equipment.
Approach, passage or stationary presence?
These are different detection requirements. Confirm which events the chosen model and configuration support; detecting an approaching vehicle alone does not establish that it can monitor a vehicle stopped under a barrier.
What must match the lane controller?
Match the detector output, controller input and intended response. The mounting angle, neighboring traffic and required detection area also need to be checked together in the installed lane.
Mounted vehicle detection
Position the detector around the vehicle event.
The support and orientation place the device toward the lane. The selected model must support the event the controls need.
-
Mounting point
Locate the bracket with a clear orientation toward the monitored area.
-
Required event
Select approach, presence or passage according to the model’s supported functions.
-
Connected response
Match the detector output to the lane controller’s input and operating sequence.

Equipment details
The Falcon detector in the access workflow
The Falcon detector shown here is a mounted device for vehicle detection. Its adjustable bracket is part of positioning the device toward the lane.
| Component or use | How it fits the system |
|---|---|
| Mounting bracket | The product view shows a bracket separate from the detector housing, allowing the device to be positioned on its support. |
| Vehicle event | The intended use starts with the event the lane needs: approach, presence or passage. The selected detector must support that event. |
| Connection | The detector and lane controller form a signal chain. Their electrical interface and operating response are defined together. |
| Installation layout | The support position, device orientation and nearby equipment are considered together when locating the detection area. |
Configuration: Detection technology, range, timing, accuracy, direction, ratings and compatibility depend on the selected model and site conditions.
Equipment questions
Practical details for planning, operating and maintaining this equipment.
Only after the complete counting method has been defined and validated. A detection state or transition is an input to the configured system, not automatically a record of one unique vehicle. If operational counts are needed, specify what is counted, how repeat events are handled and how the result is checked against observed traffic.
