Sick GSE6-P1111 Miniature Photoelectric Sensor PNP

Compact Through-Beam Sensor

The Sick GSE6-P1111 is a miniature through-beam photoelectric sensor with a PNP switching output. It suits automation engineers who need a small rectangular housing for presence detection in tight machine frames. The visible red PinPoint LED provides a clear alignment spot at distance. This unit is sold new and rated for industrial environments.

Build Integration Requirements

The sensor operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a current draw of 30 mA and connects via a 2 m three-wire PVC cable. Its 12 mm by 31.5 mm by 21 mm plastic ABS/PC housing meets IP67, so it fits directly onto machine structures without extra sealing. The light/dark selector is set manually on the body, freeing the PLC from configuration tasks. The PNP output delivers up to 100 mA for direct load driving.

Sustained Operation Behaviour

With a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz and a response time under 500 µs, the sensor maintains consistent signal timing during continuous high-speed cycles. The IP67 enclosure and operating range of –25 °C to +55 °C support reliable performance through temperature shifts and wash-down exposure. Circuit protection A, B and D guards the output against wiring faults during long production runs. Buyers needing a diffuse or retro-reflective principle should select a different sensor type.
