Select active detection process
The GSX14E forked sensor can detect label gaps with the
ultrasonic detection
process or with the
optical detection process.
– In many cases, labels can, in principle, be reliably detected with both detec-
tion processes.
– The advantage of the optical detection process over the ultrasonic detection
process is that it has better repeatability, even at high conveyor speeds – re-
alized through short response time and high switching frequency.
– The advantage of the ultrasonic detection process over the optical detection
process is that transparent labels can also be reliably detected.
The operator can change the active detection process of the sensor:
– After successfully ending a teach event
– Before starting a teach event

Press the label button until the green ON LED and the yellow OUT LED flash
synchronously.

Release the label button.
The sensor indicates the currently active detection process via the yellow CLEAR
LED or the yellow PAPER LED:
– CLEAR LED:
ultrasonic detection process is active
– PAPER LED:
optical detection process is active
