NOTE
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
diameter. Refer to

The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (U
tion must be observed depending on the connection type:
–
Plug connection: pin assignment
–
Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (U
tions have been established.
