1. NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON Overview
The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON (or NEXA HHCM 915 BCN ASSY, part number 92053070) is an
integral component of the Ecolab HH CMS. When the Ecolab HH CMS is installed, Healthcare facilities determine which
dispensers they wish to use and have monitored. When Touch Free dispensers are chosen, a NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE
DISPENSER BEACON is installed in each dispenser to be monitored. Each NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON
has a unique identification address that is assigned during the manufacturing process and associated to a specific physical
location during the installation process.
The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON communicates with Ecolab HH CMS Healthcare Worker Badges, to
obtain Badge ID and hand hygiene status information during a dispense event. The dispense event communication sets the
HCW Badge’s hand hygiene status to “Green” or “State 0” and then both the dispenser and the HCW badge ID information
is transmitted by the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON to the nearest Hub, along with the time and date
of the event, to be relayed to the offsite server for data compilation. Once the information exchange between the NEXA
HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON and the HCW Badge is complete, the dispenser LED will light up Yellow to
indicate that the HCW has been credited with the dispense event.
2. NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON Set Up
2.1 Installing Batteries
Each NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON requires 2 AA alkaline batteries for operation. These must be
installed prior to initial installation of the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON in the dispenser. The
battery compartment door for the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON can be found on the top side of
the device.
To install batteries prior to initial installation into the HH dispenser, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the battery compartment door by gently unscrewing the battery door and lifting it away from the
body of the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON.
2. Once the battery compartment door has been removed, install two (2) AA alkaline batteries, aligning the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the batteries with the corresponding signs displayed within the
battery compartment (Ecolab recommends that only Duracell® Coppertop batteries be used).
Once the batteries have been installed, replace the battery compartment door, firmly tighten the door screw,
and make sure the battery compartment door is flush with the body of the beacon before installation in the
dispenser.

3. How the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON Works
The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON is a wireless device that detects and communicates with Ecolab HH
CMS HCW badges and Hubs. The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON communicates with a HCW badge
based on its proximity to the device. When the HCW dispenses soap or sanitizer by placing their hand under the dispenser,
a proximity bubble is created around the dispenser. The proximity bubble wakes up the HCW Badge and begins the
information exchange between the devices. The dispenser then communicates time, date, badge status and ID information
(the dispenser ID and badge ID) to a Hub, which relays it on to the remote server.
3.1 Interaction with a Healthcare Worker’s Badge
When the touch free dispenser dispenses product, the attached Encompass HH CMS the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE
DISPENSER BEACON will momentarily create a proximity bubble around itself and the dispenser. If the Badge worn by
the HCW activating the dispenser is within the proximity bubble, the Badge will communicate with the NEXA HHCM 915
TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON and then will change to the proper hand hygiene status level. If the Badge is not
within the proximity bubble, it will not communicate with the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON nor
will its hand hygiene status level change. This will result in the HCW not receiving credit for using the dispenser.
The default range of the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON’s proximity bubble is about 24 inches in all
directions but the range can be adjusted if necessary. It is important for the HCW to wear their Badge in a location that
insures it is within the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON’S proximity bubble whenever a dispenser is
activated. It is also important that only one Badge is within the proximity bubble when a dispenser is activated. If more
than one Badge is within the proximity bubble, the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON may
unintentionally communicate with the wrong Badge (i.e., a Badge belonging to a HCW that did not activate the
dispenser). If this happens, the wrong Badge will change its hand hygiene status level and the wrong HCW will receive
credit for using the dispenser.
The Nexa Touch Free dispenser is equipped with a user feedback LED (gold light). This LED is in the same spot as the
battery indicator light, but is a different color (yellow/gold). The feedback LED will only flash when the NEXA HHCM 915
TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON has successfully communicated with a Badge. The LED flash will occur during or
immediately after dispenser activation. If the LED does not flash, the Badge may not have been within the proximity
bubble or there was an error in communications. If this occurs, the HCW should move closer to the dispenser and
activate it again.
Please take the following steps to insure proper Badge communications and correct HCW credit when using a dispenser.
1. Verify that the Badge is being worn in a location that will be within a NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER
BEACON’s 24-inch proximity bubble.
2. Before activating a dispenser, verify that other HCWs are not within the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE
DISPENSER BEACON’S 24-inch proximity bubble. If there are other HCWs near the dispenser, kindly ask them
to move away before activating.

3. Verify that the dispenser’s yellow LED flashed when the dispenser was activated. If the LED did not flash, move
closer to the dispenser and activate it again.
3.2 Interaction with a Hub
All NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON’s are equipped with a longer-range radio that allows them to
transmit information to the Ecolab HH CMS Hubs. The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON will transmit
to the Hub that is closest to it or from which it gets the strongest signal. At time of system install, it is verified that all
NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACONS are in range of at least one Hub.
When the Nexa touch free dispenser dispenses product, the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON is
activated, will create a proximity bubble and search for HCW badges. If the user is wearing a badge, the Badge’s HH
status will be updated by the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON. The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE
DISPENSER BEACON will then transmit the Badge’s HH status (both just prior to and immediately after the dispense) to
the Hub. The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON will also transmit the time, date and location of the
event, along with the battery status of the HCW badge and the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON. If
the user is not wearing a badge, or is not within the proximity bubble, the time, date and dispenser ID for the product
dispense event will be relayed to the hub as a “non-badged dispense”.
In addition to communication of dispense event data, all NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACONS proactively
send their ID and battery status information to a Hub on an approximately hourly basis. If communication to a Hub is
lost, all NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACONS have the capability to store up to 512 events in their onboard memory.
4. NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON Status Information
The Dispenser Beacon proactively sends its battery level and status information to a Hub at least once per hour, or when
product is dispensed. This information can be accessed through the Dashboard, to generate a report showing Dispenser
Beacons with low battery level. If communication to a Hub is temporarily lost, each NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE
DISPENSER BEACON has the capability to store up to 512 events. If this number of events is exceeded before
communication to the Hub is restored, the oldest events will be overwritten, thus resulting in some loss of data.
4.1 Yellow LED – Successful Communication Between HCW Badge and Dispenser Beacon.
The Yellow LED, which flashes once during or immediately after a dispense event, indicates that the HCW badge
information has successfully been communicated to the Dispenser Beacon. The Dispenser Beacon will then send this
information to a Hub for relay on to a Gateway, and eventually to the offsite server for compilation and archiving.
4.2 When an Empty Product Bottle is Removed and a New Bottle is Installed
The Yellow LED will flash twice when the old bottle is removed, and the Yellow LED will flash once when a new bottle is
installed. The dispenser beacon will send a signal to the hub indicating removal or installation of a product bottle.
5. NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON Care and Maintenance
5.1 Handling
The NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON is an electronic device and should be handled with care. Like
other electronic devices such as a cell phone, the NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON must be protected

spray cleaning products.
5.3 Battery Replacement
Typical Dispenser Beacon battery life is about 1 year but this may vary depending on use. When a Dispenser Beacon’s
battery is dead it will no longer communicate with other Ecolab HH CMS devices. The Ecolab HH CMS Dashboard
software also monitors the battery level of each NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH FREE DISPENSER BEACON. It will send an
email alert to a designated maintenance person, assigned by the healthcare facility, when a NEXA HHCM 915 TOUCH
FREE DISPENSER BEACON’S batteries are low (20% or less remaining battery capacity). The maintenance person should
replace the batteries as soon as possible to prevent loss of data.
