5.0 Installing the System
5.1 Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon Installation
The soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon will be mounted on the wall next to the soap/sanitizer dispenser. It may
be mounted on the left or right side of the dispenser but never below the dispenser. The dispenser beacon
must know when the dispenser has been activated by the HCWs. For this reason, the dispenser beacon is
physically connected to the dispenser via a 6 wire ribbon cable. This needs to be taken into consideration
when selecting a mounting location for the dispenser beacon.
The dispenser beacon is to be powered by two alkaline AA-cell batteries or optionally by an UltraClenz
DSP2000 ProClenz series touch-free dispenser if available at the installation site.
Mount Using Tape
Double sided tape may be used to mount the dispenser beacon to a wall. A minimum of a single strip, at
least 3 inches long, should be used.
To insure the best adhesion of the tape, make sure that the mounting surface of both the dispenser beacon
and the wall are clean and free of dirt and oil. A soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol will work well to
clean both surfaces. Most tape adhesives require about 24 hours of curing. Avoid installing batteries into
the dispenser beacon until the tape’s adhesive has had a chance to cure. Otherwise, the extra weight may
cause the dispenser beacon to detach from the surface of the wall.
Mount Using Screws
The rear surface of the dispenser beacon has two keyhole shaped openings that are 4
3
4
 inches on center.
Locate the position and height on the wall where the dispenser beacon will be mounted. Mark the
location for the first mounting screw. Then, measure up or down 4
3
4
 inches and mark the location of the
second mounting screw. Use a level to verify that the screw locations are plumb.
The keyhole openings will accept #6 or #8 screws and it is advisable to use properly sized wall anchors.
Using a correctly sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall for each mounting screw at the locations marked. Insert
the wall anchors into the wall and then install the screws. Both screws will need a gap between the base of
the screw’s head and the surface of the wall. Start with about 1/8 of an inch.
Attach the dispenser beacon to the wall by lining up the large portion of the keyhole openings with the
mounting screw heads and push the bed beacon flush against the wall. Then, gently slide the bed beacon
left until the smaller portion of the keyhole openings make contact with the shaft of both mounting screws.
The dispenser beacon may slide to the left as much as ½ inch so take this into consideration when selecting
a mounting location especially if mounting on the right side of the dispenser.
If the dispenser beacon is not in tight contact with the wall, remove the dispenser beacon and tighten both
mounting screws a little more to reduce the gap between the screw’s head and the surface of the wall.
