CONNECTIONSYOU CAN TRUST
FROM TROLEX
The Falcon Series Connectors from Trolex have been engineeredfor purpose to bring you the world’s most robust and easy to useEx d connection systems for heavy-duty power and data cables.
Incorporating live disconnect possibility in the hazardous area,a virtually instantaneous connect/disconnect system, and amaking-off procedure that reduces assembly times from hoursto minutes, the new series connectors will saveyou both time and money, and deliver connections thatyou can really trust.
Who says Ex d Connectors are hard to use?Contact us today for a demonstration of how we’ve solved the
problem.

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.
