Will the X2-EXIT-006 release a maglock on its own?
Only when wired in series with the maglock’s positive feed (NO & COM contacts) and powered from the same 12 V DC supply. The button is a dry-contact relay, not a controller — it does not contain timing logic, fail-safe override, or alarm interfaces.
Does the sensor work through glass?
The X2-EXIT-006 is designed to detect a hand within 1–10 cm of the plate face — it is not a through-glass sensor. For mullion/glass-door egress, use the small-plate X2-EXIT-007 surface-mounted to the door frame at hand height.
What’s the difference between the 006 (large) and 007 (small)?
Same touchless electronics, different plate footprint: 006 is 115 × 70 mm (large), 007 is 115 × 40 mm (small). Choose the large plate where you have a standard Australian switch cavity or want a flush, full-size architectural finish; choose the small plate for narrow architraves.
Can I mount this on a brick wall with no cavity?
Yes — pair it with the matching X2-EXIT-016 metal back box (sold separately). The back box is chrome-plated zinc alloy, sized exactly to the large plate (115 × 70 × 25 mm), and accepts surface-conduit entry.
How do I adjust the sensor range?
There is a small trimmer pot on the rear of the sensor PCB. Turn clockwise to increase the trigger distance (up to ~10 cm), anti-clockwise to tighten it (down to ~1 cm). Test the result with the plate held in its final position so reflections off the wall don’t affect the calibration.
Is the relay momentary or latching?
Momentary. The relay closes for the duration the hand stays within the sensing field. Most controllers and maglocks expect a short pulse for the door release time — if your gear needs a sustained close, that’s usually a controller timing setting on the door, not the button.
Will the X2-EXIT-006 work with my Hikvision / Bosch / Inner Range / Paxton / Gallagher access controller?
Yes — the X2-EXIT-006 presents a generic volt-free dry contact (NO/NC/COM), which is the universal REX-input convention. It wires into the request-to-exit / break-glass / egress dry-contact input of any modern Australian access controller without proprietary handshakes or firmware compatibility checks.
Will it false-trigger when people walk past?
No. The infrared sensor field is short-range and directional — 1–10 cm from the plate face, narrowing rapidly past 100 mm. Foot traffic past the wall, hands moving past in the corridor, or someone leaning against the wall beside the plate will not trigger the relay. Wide-field microwave REX sensors are the design that does suffer from incidental-motion triggering — the X2-EXIT-006 deliberately uses a tighter IR proximity field to avoid that.
Can I use the X2-EXIT-006 outdoors?
No — the X2-EXIT-006 is rated for indoor use only. There is no IP rating and the rear electronics are exposed at the screw terminal block. For weather-protected outdoor egress points, use an IP-rated keypad or vandal-resistant button in an IP-rated housing instead.
Can I wire two or three exit buttons to the same door?
Yes. Wire each button’s NO & COM contacts in parallel across the same controller REX input (or in series with the maglock+ feed for a direct-cut install). Any button can then release the door. This is common for doors with both a public-side wave plate and a staff-side dome button, or for double-leaf doors with a button on each architrave.
What’s the contact rating of the SPDT relay?
The SPDT dry contact is rated for low-current door-control switching (12–24 V DC at the maglock or strike inrush class typical of REX-input wiring). Always cross-check the latest manufacturer datasheet for the contact rating against the lock you are switching, especially for higher-current strikes — if in doubt, switch through a controller relay rather than directly across the lock.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Yes — mounting screws sized for the X2 large-plate cavity are included. If you’re mounting into the X2-EXIT-016 surface back box, the back box has matching pre-tapped bosses so the supplied screws thread straight in. Wall fixings (plugs / anchors) for the back box itself are not included and must be sized to your wall substrate.
What’s the warranty and who supports it in Australia?
12 months manufacturer warranty, supplied and supported in Australia by Infront Technologies. For warranty claims, configuration help or design questions, contact our sales and technical team — we’ll triage with the manufacturer if a unit needs RMA, so you don’t deal with offshore support.
Is the X2-EXIT-006 compliant with Australian fire-egress rules?
The X2-EXIT-006 is a SELV (low-voltage) REX button. Fire-egress compliance is a property of the whole door assembly — the lock, the controller, the fire-trip wiring and the path of travel — not of the egress button alone. Australian standards (e.g. AS 1428 for accessibility, AS/NZS 1851 for testing, the NCC for egress) apply to the door system; the X2-EXIT-006 contributes a touchless REX where one is required. Always consult your access-control designer and fire-services certifier when adding or modifying egress hardware on a fire-rated door.
Are there ongoing consumables or batteries?
None. The X2-EXIT-006 is hard-wired from the existing 12–24 V DC supply; no batteries, no separate PSU, no firmware updates, no replaceable LEDs. The IR proximity sensor and indicator LEDs are solid-state.
