Frequently Asked Questions - InSight INS-QXI-ST OPTEX
What is the recommended mounting height for the OPTEX InSight INS-QXI-ST?
The recommended mounting height is between 2.5 and 4 meters. This ensures optimal 360° detection coverage and avoids blind spots.
What power supply should I use?
The detector accepts 12 to 24 V AC/DC. Use a regulated power supply and observe correct polarity when wired to the terminal block.
What is the detection range of the INS-QXI-ST?
It can detect movement up to 15 meters when mounted at the recommended height. The detection pattern is a full 360° circle under the sensor.
How do I adjust the detection area?
Use the rotatable adjustment knobs on the sensor board to set the detection range and enable or disable specific segments. Refer to the manual’s coverage diagram for fine-tuning.
What type of output does it provide?
The output is a SPDT relay (dry contact) rated at 30 V AC/DC, 0.5 A. It can be wired for normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation.
Can it be used outdoors?
No, the device has an IP20 rating and is designed for indoor installation only. Exposing it to moisture or dust can damage the sensor.
How should I clean the sensor lens?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the lens. Do not use chemical cleaners, abrasives, or water, as they may scratch or cloud the lens and impair detection.
What should I do if the sensor triggers false alarms?
First, check for heat sources or moving targets in the detection area. Reduce the detection range and set the pulse count to a higher value to filter small movements or interference.
Is the INS-QXI-ST suitable for 24/7 operation?
Yes, it is designed for continuous operation. The current consumption is only 17 mA at 24 V DC, making it energy-efficient.
What is the warranty period?
OPTEX provides a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Keep your receipt for warranty claims.
