3.0 Soap/Sanitizer Dispenser Beacon
The soap/sanitizer dispenser beacon is installed next to a soap/sanitizer dispenser. In order for it to communicate
with the dispenser, it is attached to the dispenser via a flat ribbon cable. The dispenser beacon will create an
invisible “bubble” approximately 36 inches around the dispenser when the dispenser is activated. When a HCW
activates the dispenser and the HCW’s badge is within the bubble, the badge will communicate with the dispenser
beacon. The dispenser beacon will then reply to the badge and the badge will immediately change its hand
hygiene state to sanitary (green flashing LED). If the badge is already in the sanitary state, it will remain in the
sanitary state.
The dispenser beacon provides both audio and visual alerts to indicate that it has successfully communicated with
a HCW’s badge. Upon successful communication, the status LED will flash green one time followed by a two
tone chime (see Figure 3).
