Miniature Photoelectric Sensor
The Sick GL6-P1211 is a compact retro-reflective sensor with dual-lens optics in a 12 mm by 31.5 mm by 21 mm ABS/PC housing. It operates on 10 to 30 V DC and provides a PNP switching output with selectable light or dark switching via a 270° potentiometer. The IP67-rated enclosure suits industrial environments from –25 °C to +55 °C.
Sensing Range and Output Limits
Maximum sensing range reaches 6 m with a 5 m operating range using visible red PinPoint LED at 650 nm. The light spot measures 8 mm at 350 mm distance. Switching frequency is 1,000 Hz with a response time under 625 µs, while output current is capped at 100 mA. A 2 m PVC cable with three wires handles the connection.
PNP Switching Configuration
The sensor delivers a PNP HIGH signal near supply voltage minus 3 V and a LOW signal near 0 V, making it suitable for controllers that expect positive switching. Builders needing NPN output or a different connector type must select another model.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 5 m or 6 m sensing range for my setup?
The 6 m figure is the absolute maximum under ideal conditions; the rated sensing range is 5 m, so design around 5 m for reliable detection.
What does the 1,000 Hz switching frequency mean on a production line?
It allows up to 1,000 switching cycles per second, giving a response time below 625 µs, which is fast enough for most high-speed counting or positioning tasks.
Does the 10-30 V DC supply limit the cable length I can run?
The sensor draws only 30 mA, so voltage drop over the supplied 2 m PVC cable is negligible; for longer runs calculate drop using your supply voltage and wire gauge.
