9 E GL-R-IM
Specifications
 Specifications
*1 When the option front protection cover is installed on the one of transmitter or receiver, the Operating
distance is shorten by 0.5 m. When the front covers are installed on both of the transmitter and
receiver, the Operating distance is shorten by 1.0 m.
*2 When the GL-R is used under surrounding air temperatures between 50 to 55°C, the Maximum load
current should not exceed 350 mA.
*3 For PFHd of each GL-R, contact your nearest KEYENCE office.
 Response time (OSSD)
 GL-RF
Units: ms
 GL-RH
Units: ms
 GL-RL
Units: ms
*1 If the interruption is present in the detection zone for less than 80 ms, the response time (OFF to
ON) will be 80 ms or more to ensure that the OSSD maintains the OFF state for more than 80 ms.
*2 "All blocked" means the situation where the GL-R operates in optical synchronization system and
the transmitter and receiver is not synchronized (top and bottom beam axes are both blocked). In
this situation, the response time is longer because the GL-R synchronizes the transmitter and
receiver first and then determines the clear or blocked.
Point • When the GL-R units are connected in series, the response time is calculated
according to the following steps;
1. Sum up the response time of all unit.
2. Subtract the following time from the result of previous step.

ON to OFF
One sub unit : 2 ms
Two sub unit : 4.2 ms
(When Optical synchronization system and Channel A or B)
One sub unit : 2.7 ms
Two sub unit : 5.7 ms
 OFF to ON
One sub unit : 42 ms
Two sub unit : 84 ms
When connecting the GL-R32H (32 beam axes), GL-R24H (24 beam axes), and GL-
R12L (12 beam axes) in series for one-line system, the response time of each unit is
7.9 ms, 7.0 ms, and 6.6 ms respectively, and the response time (ON to OFF) is 7.9 ms +
7.0 ms + 6.6 ms - 4.2 ms = 17.3 ms.
the response time (OFF to ON) is 50.6 ms + 49.3 ms + 48.7 ms - 84 ms = 64.6 ms.
• 2.0 m/s is the maximum object detection speed of the GL-R series.
