4 Mounting
Mount sensors (sender and receiver) using suitable mounting brackets (see the SICK
range of accessories). Align the sender and receiver with each other.
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
diameter. Refer to figure 2 and figure 3.

5.1 Notes on UL approval
The device shall be supplied from an isolating transformer having a secondary overcur‐
rent protective device that complies with UL 248 to be installed in the field rated either:
a) max 5 amps for voltages 0 ~ 20 V (0 ~ 28.3 V peak), or
b) 100 / Vp for voltages of 20 ~ 30 V (28.3 ~ 42.4 V peak).
Alternatively, they can be supplied from a Class 2 power supply.
UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1

6 Commissioning
6.1 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 4]. You must ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the sensors are
completely clear.
Figure 4: Alignment
6.2 Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sensor and the
reflector according to the relevant diagram [see figure 5] (x= sensing range, y=
operating reserve).
When mounting multiple through-beam photoelectric sensors next each other, swap
the arrangement of the sender (GS6L) and receiver (GE6L) for every second pair.
Also maintain a sufficiently large distance between the pairs based on the light spot
diameter of the sender (GS6L). This will prevent any mutual interference from arising
[see figure 2].
Check the function as described in table 3. If the switching output fails to behave as
described in table 3, check the application conditions.

6.3 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 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.

Table 4: Troubleshooting
LED/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
Yellow LED flashes Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
receiver. / Clean the optical
surfaces / If the potentiom‐
eter is set to the max. sen‐
sitivity: Reduce the distance
between the sender and the
receiver / Check sensing
range and adjust if necessary
Yellow LED lights up, no object
in the path of the beam
The beam of light of apho‐
toelectric through-beam sen‐
sor hits the receiver of
another (neighboring)photo‐
electric through-beam sensor
Swap the sender and receiver
arrangement at every sec‐
ondthrough-beam photoelec‐
tric sensor and ensure that
there is sufficient distance
between the through-beam
photoelectric sensors : see
figure 2, page 8
8 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of in line with applicable country-specific regulations.
When disposing of them, you should try to recycle them (especially the precious met‐
als).
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,
indicates that a product is subject to these regulations.
9 Maintenance
This SICK sensor is maintenance-free.
We do, however, recommend that the following activities are undertaken regularly:
•Clean the optical interfaces and housing
•Check the fittings and plug connectors

Cleaning
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to improper cleaning.
Improper cleaning may result in equipment damage.
■Only use recommended cleaning agents and tools.
■Never use sharp objects for cleaning.
bClean the optical surfaces at regular intervals and, in the event of contamina‐
tion, with a lint-free lens cloth (part number 4003353) and plastic cleaner (part
number 5600006). The cleaning interval essentially depends on the ambient
conditions.
No modifications may be made to devices.
Subject to change without notice. Specified product properties and technical data are
not written guarantees.
