BEA BEA-10MS51W-DKIT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEA MS51W double gang actuator fit a standard double gang box or surface-mount box?
The MS51W in the double gang size measures 4.5 in (W) x 4.5 in (H) x 0.98 in (D), so it covers a standard two-gang opening and stands just under an inch off the wall. The same series is also built in a single gang plate at 2.75 in (W) x 4.5 in (H) x 0.98 in (D) and a jamb plate at 1.68 in (W) x 4.5 in (H) x 0.98 in (D), so if you are mounting on a narrow mullion or door jamb rather than a wall, the jamb size is the one to order.
2) Do I have to run wire from the wave plate back to the door operator?
No. The MS51W actuator runs on battery and carries a built-in 900 MHz wireless transmitter, so the activation signal goes to the receiver over the air instead of through conduit. That is the reason to pick this one over a hardwired plate: you can put it across a lobby, on a glass wall, or on a jamb where fishing wire back to the operator is the whole cost of the job. You still need the 900 MHz receiver side at the operator, and BEA calls for confirming 900 MHz system compatibility before you install.
3) Can a BEA MS51W touchless actuator be mounted outdoors or in an unheated entry vestibule?
Yes. The enclosure is rated NEMA 4 / IP65 and the operating range runs -22 deg. F to 158 deg. F, so exterior entrances, unheated vestibules, and washdown-adjacent areas are within spec. It also has selectable environmental immunity modes to keep rain, water spray, and snow from producing false activations, which is the failure people actually see on exterior touchless plates.
4) How close does someone have to get for the wave plate to trigger, and can I adjust it?
The sensing zone is adjustable from 2 in out to 24 in. Set it short in a tight corridor where people brush past the plate and you do not want nuisance opens, or set it long at a hospital entry where someone is coming through with a cart or a wheelchair and cannot get close. Hold time is adjustable too, 1 s to 30 s, which is what you tune so the door stays open long enough for the traffic actually using it.
5) How often will I be changing batteries in a BEA MS51W wave plate?
Three years of operation per battery, and the plate gives you an LED battery status alert so a maintenance tech can see it is getting low on a walk-through rather than finding out when the door stops opening. For a property manager running a fleet of openings, that puts battery swaps on a scheduled cycle instead of a service call.
6) Will the BEA MS51W relay output work with my existing door operator or access control input?
The output is a 1-Form C solid state relay rated 1 A at 30 VAC / VDC max. That is a dry contact suitable for a low-voltage activation input on a swing door operator or an access control panel. It is not a switch for line voltage or for anything drawing more than an amp, so if you are trying to drive a load directly rather than trigger an operator input, you need an interposing relay.
7) Should I use a wave-to-open touchless plate or a standard push plate on this door?
A push plate is mechanical, needs no power, and never false-triggers, but it means contact with the plate. A touchless actuator like the MS51W removes that contact, which is why it goes in on healthcare entries, restrooms, food service, and public-facing doors where hand contact is the objection. The trade is that you are now maintaining a sensor: batteries every three years, a sensing zone to tune between 2 in and 24 in, and immunity settings for weather on exterior openings. Where the door is interior, low traffic, and nobody objects to touching it, a push plate is the simpler part.
8) Can I set the BEA MS51W to hold a door open rather than just cycle it?
Yes. Detection can be set to bidirectional motion, toggle, or timed mode. Toggle is what you use when you want a wave to latch the door open and a second wave to release it, for a delivery or a move-in. Timed mode holds for the interval you set, 1 s to 30 s. There is also an audible alert choice of silent or signal mode, plus a blue standby / green activation LED, so in a quiet facility you can run it silent and still give users visual feedback.
9) If I hardwire the MS51W instead of running it on battery, what power does it need?
Supply voltage is 12 - 24 VAC / VDC or 5 VDC, drawing under 2.8 W, and a 12 in wire harness comes on the unit for the connection. That means a standard low-voltage transformer or the auxiliary output on most swing door operators will carry it, and the 12 in harness is your working slack, so plan the box location close enough that you are not splicing in an extension outside the enclosure.
10) Is the BEA MS51W faceplate durable enough for a public entrance or a school corridor?
The faceplate is stainless steel with an ABS center section, so the surface taking the abuse in a school corridor or a hospital entry is metal rather than plastic. It is a commercial-duty part, and it is offered in design options including accessibility artwork for ADA compliance applications.
