Q: How much light does the dispenser need to operate?
A: We have developed a consistent and easy way to detect and confirm
lighting levels with the new LUX Detector. First, flip the switch right to Install
Mode. If 3 beeps or more are heard, the dispenser is positioned in a place
that receives enough light to operate properly. The dispenser needs 67.5
hours of light spread out any time over a 7-day week, which equates to 13.5
hours per day for a facility on a 5-day work week. See table below.

Q: Will the LumeCel™ AutoFoam work in an environment that
has motion sensor lighting?
A: No, generally this is not adequate lighting, and the LumeCel™
AutoFoam dispenser will not function properly.A minimum amount of
light per week is required. See table above.
Q: What if I hear no beeps when I flip the LUX Detector switch
right to Install Mode?
A: The dispenser is not receiving enough light to operate. Relocate to
a brighter location until 3 beeps or more are heard. Then be sure to
flip the switch left back to Run Mode.

to be relocated to a brighter location. Flip the LUX Detector switch
right to Install Mode in order to detect and confirm lighting levels. If 3
beeps or more are heard, the dispenser is positioned in a place that

Q: Are there any concerns with storage?
A: As with all energy cells, rotate stock to use oldest product first. See
instructions for storage temperature guidelines.
Q: How many alkaline batteries will I save over a life time by
changing to LumeCel™?
A: It depends on how frequently you were changing them in the past,

Q: Is this a Lithium-ion battery?
A: No, the LumeCel™ rechargeable energy cell is from the same
family as nickel metal hydride, which has been specifically engineered
for this application.
Q: What about Li-ion?
A: In this application, nickel-metal hydride LSD (Low Self Discharge)
is used, and unlike Li-ion, it does not need energy consuming control
electronics for safety.
