Deployed Dimensions
The Falcon Transportable’s maximum deployed dimensions are:
• Length: 87 inches (long version)
• Width: 32 inches
• Height: 70 inches
Stored Dimensions
The Falcon Transportable’s dimensions inside a vehicle are:
• Length: 84.75 inches
• Width: 30 inches
• Height: 36.5 inches
The vehicle must also have a space for the PC, mouse, keyboard, cables, bins,
and right-side cover.
Required Items
The Falcon Transportable has been designed so that no tools are required for
taking it from one site to another. However, you will need a means of safely
securing the Falcon inside the vehicle. Due to the variation among vehicles,
Opex cannot supply this.
Recommended Items
The following items are not required, but will increase efficiency or reduce the
risk of damage.
• A rug on the floor of the vehicle that can be hung over the bumper to protect
it while loading the Falcon
• A protective covering for the face of the monitor
• A tarp or other waterproof covering for the machine in case of rain
• A box or boxes for the items that are removed from the Falcon during travel
(PC, keyboard & mouse, cables, bins, and the right-side cover)

Remove Secondary Items
Shut down the Falcon’s PC and turn off the Falcon itself, then unplug the UPS
from the wall. Disconnect all cables from the back of the Falcon and the PC.
Fold the monitor face-down onto the conveyor, with a blanket or piece of foam
underneath it to protect the screen.
Remove the stacker and bypass bins. On the back of the machine, slide the
clear cable support in against the rear of the machine. It is held in place by two
wingnuts on the underside, indicated below.
Swing the rack arms over the desktop & monitor so they are out of the way (1).
If your machine features the optional computer tray, fold it up (2) and lock it in
place with the top clamp (3).
