SICK GSE6-P7112 Photoelectric Sensor

The SICK GSE6-P7112 is a miniature through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and features a PNP switching output with selectable light or dark switching modes. The housing measures 12 mm by 31.5 mm by 21 mm and weighs 40 g. A stainless steel mounting bracket is included with the sensor.

Ideal for Long-Range Presence Detection

This sensor suits applications requiring reliable object detection up to 10 m with a maximum range of 15 m. The visible red PinPoint LED produces a 375 mm light spot at 12 m distance. It is not suited for installations needing sensitivity adjustment or background suppression. Builders requiring a different output type such as NPN or a fibre-optic amplifier should look elsewhere.

Key Specification Is 15 m Maximum Sensing Range

The 15 m maximum sensing range determines whether this through-beam sensor fits the application layout. The 1,000 Hz switching frequency and sub-500 µs response time support high-speed processes. The IP67-rated ABS/PC housing with PMMA optics withstands temperatures from -25 °C to +55 °C. Connection is via a 300 mm PVC cable with a 4-pin M12 male connector.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 mm x 31.5 mm x 21 mm housing and M12 4-pin connector fit my existing mounting bracket and cable?

The sensor measures 12 mm wide, 31.5 mm high and 21 mm deep and ships with a 300 mm PVC cable ending in an M12 male connector, so it matches standard M12 ports and the included stainless-steel bracket BEF-W100-A.

How can I verify the PNP output is switching correctly after wiring it to 10–30 V DC?

With power applied, the output toggles between VS minus 3 V and near 0 V at up to 100 mA; the amber LED on the housing shows the switching state and the 1,000 Hz switching frequency can be confirmed with an oscilloscope.

Does the box contain only the sensor or also the bracket and reflector for the 15 m through-beam range?

The package includes the sensor with its 300 mm M12 cable and a stainless-steel mounting bracket BEF-W100-A (1.4301/304); a separate reflector or receiver unit is required to complete the through-beam pair.
