SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

SICK Series G2 Photoelectric Sensor, IP67, 0.6ms Response Time - GL2S-P5311

This photoelectric sensor detects objects using a retro-reflective optical principle and is intended for panel mounting in industrial automation settings. It employs a pin-point LED light source and communicates via a 3‑pin M8 connector, providing a Compact rectangular form in a plastic enclosure suitable for controlled environmental conditions.

Features and Benefits:

• Retro-reflective detection delivers non-contact object sensing
  Pin-point LED improves target resolution for precise detection
  PNP output simplifies interfacing with sourcing input circuits
  IP67 rating permits washdown and dust-tight operation
  0.6 MS response time enables Rapid detection on high-speed lines
  50 mA maximum current reduces load on supply circuits

Applications

• Suitable for presence sensing on conveyor systems
  Ideal for end-of-line part verification in assembly cells
  Used with sorting equipment requiring fast response detection
  Can be used for packaging inspection where dust resistance is needed

What supply voltage range does it support?

It operates with a maximum DC voltage of 30V DC, suitable for common machine control supplies.

How does the connector type affect installation?

The M8 3‑pin connector provides a compact, lockable Interface for quick wiring and straightforward replacements on machine panels.

What temperature range can it tolerate during operation?

The device functions reliably between -25 °C and 50 °C for use in many indoor industrial environments.

Are there recognised safety or approval references for industrial use?

It carries UL documentation under file NRKH.E181493, indicating it meets specified safety assessment criteria.
