FAQ

What is the switching principle of the GS 06/66-2?

The datasheet for the GS 06 series indicates that these sensors are typically light-switching, meaning the output is active when the light beam is not interrupted. However, specific sub-models can vary, so it is always best to test its behavior in your specific application.

Can this sensor be used to detect transparent labels?

No, this model uses an infrared light source and is designed for detecting opaque objects. For transparent labels, a sensor with ultrasonic technology or specialized optics would be required.

What is the pinout for the attached rectangular connector?

The rectangular connector appears to be a non-standard addition. The sensor’s standard wire colors are indicated on the label (BN: +, BU: GND, WH/BK: Outputs). You would need to use a multimeter to trace these wires to the corresponding pins on the attached connector to determine its specific pinout.
