UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1
3 Intended use
The GSE6L is an opto-electronic through-beam photoelectric sensor (referred to as
“sensor” in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects. A sender
(GS) and a receiver (GE) are required for operation. If the product is used for any other
purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.

NOTE
When mounting through beam photoelectric sensors adjacent to each other, alternate
the sender (GS6L) and receiver (GE6L) arrangement every other pair. Also ensure that
there is sufficient distance between pairs based on the sender (GS6L) light spot diame‐
ter. Refer to figure 1 and figure 2.

6 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (UV = 0 V). The following informa‐
tion must be observed depending on the connection type:
– Plug connection: pin assignment
– Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV > 0 V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.
Explanation of connection terminology:
BN = Brown
WH = White
BU = Blue
BK = Black
n. c. = no connection
Q = switching output 1
Q = switching output 2
L+ = supply voltage (Uv)
M = common
L.ON = light operate

7 Commissioning
7.1 Alignment
Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the red emitted light beam
hits the receiver. Tip: Use white paper or a reflector as an alignment aid. The sender
must have a clear view of the receiver, with no object in the path of the beam [see
figure 0]. You must ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the sensors are
completely clear.

7.2 Sensing range
Observe the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sender and the
receiver according to the corresponding diagram [see figure 3] (x = sensing range, y =
operating reserve).
When mounting through beam photoelectric sensors adjacent to each other, alternate
the sender (GS6L) and receiver (GE6L) arrangement every other pair. Also ensure that
there is sufficient distance between pairs based on the sender (GS6L) light spot diame‐
ter. By doing this, mutual interference can be prevented [see figure 1].
Use table 3 to check the function. If the switching output fails to behave in accordance
with table 3, check the application conditions.

7.3 Settings
Sensitivity setting
Sensor which it is not possible to set: The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The sensitivity is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 5-turn). Clockwise rotation:
operating reserve increased; counterclockwise rotation: operating reserve reduced. We
recommend setting the potentiometer to “Maximum”.
The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
