Falcon Monitoring System
 RLE’s Falcon lets you know What’s Going On within your mission critical facilities and equipment through real-time monitoring, alarming, and control of your physical and environmental infrastructure. It incorporates monitoring, multi-protocol alarm notification, control , and data logging into one robust package.
When compared with other monitoring alternatives, the Falcon provides unmatched value, convenience, capability, flexibility, and expandability.
Features and Benefits
The Falcon is used to:
- monitor equipment status and summary
- alarms
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Pressure
- flow levels
- security sensors
- and much more.
The monitored information can then be accessed as a web page and is also SNMP manageable. Once user-defined thresholds are exceeded, descriptive alarm notifications are sent via SNMP, email, and/or alpha numeric messaging devices over network and/or direct dial out. Users can check the status of equipment, acknowledge alarms, turn equipment on or off, or even lock and unlock doors from any computer through an Internet connection or through dial-in access. IP links allow images from up to ten IP cameras to be viewed and can also be used as links to other IP/URL addressable devices or equipment. In addition, keypad integration allows the Flacon FMS to be used for access control.
The Falcon can operate as a stand-alone system (without additional installation or integration costs) – requiring no external PC or software to function. The Falcon is also “integration friendly” so that it can interface in a simple and straightforward manner with existing Network Management Systems that accept SNMP traps, as well as Building Management Systems that communicate via BACnet. By adding appropriate internal expansion cards, the Falcon can be expanded to accept as many as 104 inputs or to provide as many as 34 relay outputs. The Flacon can accommodate digital dry contact (NO/NC, form “C”), 4-20mA, 0-5VDC, 0-10VDC, and Modbus I/O signals.
- Flexible Access via network, internet, dial-up, or direct connection
- Standard Communication Ports using serial (EIA-232), Ethernet 10BaseT, internal modem
- Multi-Protocol Notification through numeric or alphanumeric paging, text messaging to cell phone or pager, email, SNMP traps, BACnet, and Modbus
- Easy to Configure locally or remotely, via web page (TCP-IP, PPP), dial-in or EIA-232 (terminal emulation), and SNMP
- IP/URL linking provides access to up to ten IP cameras and/or other IP addressable equipment
