SICK Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor

Sick G10 Series Photoelectric Sensor, Pin Point LED Light Source, IP67 - GL10-P4151

This photoelectric sensor is a Compact retroreflective detector designed for industrial automation tasks where Rapid object detection is required. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and communicates via an M12 4-pin connector, making it suitable for integration into control systems and machine panels where space is limited and sealed protection is needed.

Features & Benefits

• 10V to 30V DC supply enabling flexible system integration
  PNP switching output supports sourcing logic interfaces
  ≤1ms response time for high-speed detection tasks
  Up to100mA output current to drive downstream inputs
  IP67 enclosure rating for operation in wet or dusty areas
  Visible pin point LED light source for precise alignment

Applications

• Suitable for detecting film-wrapped packages on conveyors
  Ideal for pick-and-place verification in logistics systems
  used with reflector-based setups for object presence sensing
  Can be used for panel-mounted proximity monitoring in machines
  Suitable for high-frequency switching in sorting lines

What connector type is provided for electrical connection?

A male M12 4-pin connector is supplied for straightforward plug-in wiring.

How does the sensor behave when exposed to varying ambient temperatures?

It functions across an operating range from −30°C to +60°C and stores between −40°C and +70°C.

What optical characteristics help with small target detection?

A 625nm visible LED produces a focused light spot, measured at Ø58mm at 5m, aiding accurate aim.

What switching modes are available and how are they selected?

Light/dark switching is selectable via an onboard selector to match signal logic requirements.

What mechanical mounting options are provided?

The housing is rectangular and intended for panel mounting with Ø4.2mm fixing holes.
