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.
