BEA 10MS51W-S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the BEA MS51W series battery powered touchless actuator used for?
The MS51W is a wireless touchless actuator for automatic door systems. It provides hands-free activation when users approach or wave near the sensor. The built-in 900 MHz transmitter sends signals to compatible door operators.
2) Which door operators are compatible with this wireless actuator?
The MS51W works with door operators that accept 900 MHz wireless signals. Check your door operator manual for wireless compatibility. Most modern automatic door systems support this frequency range. Verify compatibility before installation.
3) How long do the batteries last in this touchless actuator?
Battery life depends on activation frequency and environmental conditions. Typical battery life ranges from 6 months to 2 years under normal use. The unit signals low battery status before complete failure. Replace batteries when the low battery indicator activates.
4) What type of batteries does the MS51W require?
Check the unit specifications for exact battery requirements. Most BEA wireless actuators use standard AA or lithium batteries. Use high-quality batteries for longer service life. Keep spare batteries on hand for quick replacement.
5) How do you mount the MS51W touchless actuator?
Mount the actuator using the included bracket and hardware. Position at appropriate height for user access, typically 42-48 inches from floor. Ensure clear line of sight to users. Follow manufacturer mounting template for proper positioning and screw locations.
6) What is the activation range for this touchless sensor?
Activation range varies by model and settings. Most touchless actuators detect motion within 6-12 inches of the sensor face. Range may be adjustable through internal settings. Test activation range during installation to ensure proper operation.
7) Can the MS51W be used outdoors?
Check the unit's IP rating for weather resistance. Some models are suitable for covered outdoor areas. Direct exposure to rain or extreme weather may damage the unit. Install in protected locations when used outdoors.
8) How do you program the wireless frequency?
Programming typically involves setting DIP switches or using programming modes. Consult the installation manual for specific programming steps. Match the transmitter frequency to your door operator's receiver settings. Test signal transmission after programming.
9) What maintenance does this actuator require?
Clean the sensor face regularly to remove dust and debris. Check battery status monthly. Verify activation range and sensitivity periodically. Replace batteries when low battery indicator appears. Keep mounting hardware tight.
10) What is the wireless transmission range?
Wireless range typically extends 100-300 feet in open areas. Range decreases with walls, metal objects, and interference. Test actual transmission range at your installation site. Position the actuator within reliable transmission distance of the receiver.
11) Are there similar models in the BEA MS series?
BEA offers multiple MS series actuators with different features and power options. Some models include hardwired versions or different wireless frequencies. Browse our BEA products section for alternative models and specifications.
12) How do you troubleshoot activation issues?
Check battery charge first. Verify wireless programming matches the receiver. Clean sensor face of dirt or debris. Test activation range and adjust sensitivity if available. Ensure mounting position allows proper user access and detection.
