Falco and Falco TAC Pumped Brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview
FALCO and FALCO TAC are advanced fixed photoionization detectors (PIDs) designed by ION Science for continuous detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs). These instruments are engineered to operate in extreme conditions, featuring Typhoon Technology to prevent sensor condensation and an anti-contamination design for maintenance-free operation.

Key Features

Reliability and Accuracy: Eliminates false readings common in competing technologies, ensuring trustworthy results.
Ease of Maintenance: Can be serviced without power removal or hot work permits, using a 5 magnetic switch interface for simple navigation.
Detection Capabilities: FALCO uses a 10.6 eV lamp for a broad range of VOCs, while FALCO TAC uses a 10.0 eV lamp for TACs, focusing on benzene.
Extreme Conditions: Built for harsh weather with IP65 ingress protection and a high visibility OLED display.
Safety and Certification: Features patented fence electrode technology for performance across humidities, dual IS and ExD certification for hazardous environments, and compliance with ATEX and UL/CSA standards.

Applications

Safety and industrial hygiene
Fugitive emissions and fence line monitoring
Air quality monitoring and process control
Use in fertility labs, glove boxes, and fume cupboards

Technical Specifications

Detection Ranges: Four ranges from 0-10 ppm to 0-3000 ppm with varying sensitivities.
Response Time: Less than 10 seconds for pumped models.
Output: Includes 4-20 mA, RS 485 Modbus, and two programmable relays.
Environmental Specs: Operates between -20°C to 50°C with 0-100% RH and condensing humidity.
Power and Dimensions: Requires 12 to 40 Vdc, with dimensions of 291 x 191 x 125 mm and a weight of 3.3 kg.
