SICK Energetic Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

Sick G6 Inox Series Photoelectric Sensor, IP69K/IP67, Pin Point LED Light Source - GTE6-F4411V

This photoelectric sensor is a Compact energetic proximity detector designed for industrial automation and hygienic washdown environments. It employs a visible red pin‑point LED to detect objects across short to medium ranges and interfaces via a 4‑pin male connector for straightforward panel integration in control systems.

Features & Benefits

• PNP output supports direct interfacing with PLC inputs
  Operating voltage range 10VDC to 30VDC allows versatile power options
  Response time under 1250μs enables fast object detection
  IP67 and IP69K rating permits high‑pressure washdown environments
  Stainless steel V4A housing resists harsh cleaning regimes
  Switching frequency 500Hz suits rapid‑cycle applications

Applications

• Suitable for product presence checks on food‑processing lines
  Ideal for conveyor object counting in automated packaging
  used with washdown machinery where high ingress protection is required
  Can be used for panel‑mounted sensing in stainless steel cabinets
  Suitable for short‑range detection of reflective and matt surfaces

What connector type is used for electrical connection?

It uses an M8 male connector with four pins for signal, supply and earth wiring.

How does ambient temperature affect performance?

The device operates between −25°C and +55°C with temperature stability of ±10°C after adjustment.

What output behaviour can I expect for switching?

It provides complementary light/dark switching with PNP signalling and overcurrent protection on outputs.

What optical characteristics define the detection beam?

The emitter produces a 650nm red light with a focused spot around Ø6mm at 100mm distance.

Are there specific cleaning agents to avoid?

Certain cleaning chemistries such as lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide should not be used.
