Small photoelectric sensor for long-range detection

The SICK GSE10-P4212 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with a PNP switching output designed for industrial automation. It detects objects at distances up to 40 metres using visible red PinPoint LED light at 625 nm wavelength. The rectangular ABS/PMMA housing measures 20 mm x 50 mm x 39 mm and weighs 70 g. It suits engineers needing reliable presence detection in packaging, material handling or assembly lines.

Check supply voltage and wiring before installation

Verify that your system provides 10 V DC to 30 V DC with ripple within ± 5 Vpp to match the sensor's supply requirements. The sender draws 15 mA and the receiver draws 20 mA, so confirm your power budget accommodates this load. Ensure you have a male M12 4-pin connector for the connection type and that the light/dark switching mode matches your control logic. The sensor includes two mounting brackets BEF-G10DC01 for quick alignment.

IP67 enclosure handles dust and water jets

The IP67-rated housing protects internal electronics from dust ingress and temporary immersion during normal operation. Operating temperature ranges from –30 °C to +60 °C, allowing use in cold storage or heated process zones. Switching frequency reaches 1,000 Hz with a 500 µs response time for fast cycling applications. Output current is limited to 100 mA, and built-in circuit protection guards against wiring faults. UL325 and EN 60947-5-2 compliance supports safety-critical installations.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the SICK GSE10-P4212 sensor and what must be purchased separately?

The package includes two BEF-G10DC01 mounting brackets. The M12 4-pin connector cable, power supply, and any reflectors or alignment tools are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I choose between the 40 m maximum range and the 35 m sensing range for my application?

Use the 35 m sensing range for reliable detection in typical conditions. The 40 m maximum range applies only under ideal circumstances; design your system around the 35 m figure to ensure consistent switching performance.

What does the 1,000 Hz switching frequency mean when the sensor is installed on a production line?

The sensor can change output state up to 1,000 times per second with a 500 µs response time, allowing it to detect fast-moving objects at high conveyor speeds without missing pulses.
