When mounting multiple through-beam photoelectric sensors next each other, we rec‐
ommend swapping the arrangement of the sender (GSO) and receiver (GEO) for every
second pair, and ensuring that there is a sufficient distance between the through-beam
photoelectric sensors based on the light spot diameter of the sender (GSO). This will
prevent any mutual interference from arising [see
NOTE TIP:
For some applications (e.g., when switching errors arise due to reflections), we recom‐
mend slightly misaligning the sender and receiver or significantly reducing the operat‐
ing reserve. This reduces the operating reserve at the same time.

Sensitivity adjustment
The sensitivity is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 270°). Clockwise rotation:
Operating reserve increased; counterclockwise rotation: Operating reserve reduced. It is
recommended to set the potentiometer to "Maximum".
The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
Test input
Test input: The GSE20x-x4/xH/QK sensors feature a test input ("TI" or "Test" on the
connection diagram [see table 17, page
off and therefore check that the sensor is functioning correctly: If female cable connec‐
tors with LED indicators are used, you must ensure that the TI is assigned accordingly.
There must be no object between the sender and receiver; activate the test input (see
the connection diagram [see table 17, page
Sender LED is switched off. The detection of an object is simulated. Use the following
table to check the function. If the digital output fails to behave in accordance with the
following table, check the application conditions. See section Fault diagnosis.
