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

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.
COMMISSIONING 7

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.

7.4 Additional functions
Test input
Test input: The GSE6L sensors feature a test input (“TI” or “Test” on the connection dia‐
gram), which can be used to switch the sender off and therefore check that the sensor
is functioning correctly: If female cable connectors with LED indicators are used, you
must ensure that the TI is assigned accordingly.
There must be no object between the sender and receiver; activate the test input (see
the connection diagram, TI at 0 V). The send LED is shut down or the detection of an
object is simulated. Use the following table to check the function. If the switching output
fails to behave in accordance with the following table, check the application conditions.
See section Fault diagnosis.

8 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.
Table 6: Troubleshooting
LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light beam is
aligned to the receiver and
there is no object in the path of
the beam
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Voltage interruptions Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
Sensor is faulty If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
No object in beam path, no out‐
put signal
Test input (Test) is not con‐
nected properly
Check connection of the test
input. When using female
cable connectors with LED
indicators, make sure the test
input is assigned correspond‐
ingly.

tion, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal

tions: Fully align the beam of

9 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of according to the applicable country-specific regula‐
tions. Efforts should be made during the disposal process to recycle the constituent
materials (particularly precious metals).
NOTE
Disposal of batteries, electric and electronic devices
•According to international directives, batteries, accumulators and electrical or
electronic devices must not be disposed of in general waste.
•The owner is obliged by law to return this devices at the end of their life to the
respective public collection points.
•
WEEE: This symbol on the product, its package or in this document, indi‐
cates that a product is subject to these regulations.
10 Maintenance
SICK sensors are maintenance-free.
We recommend doing the following regularly:
•Clean the external lens surfaces
•Check the screw connections and plug-in connections
No modifications may be made to devices.
