Omron GLS-1 Magnetic Proximity Sensor
Omron GLS-1 is a magnetic proximity sensor with a 15 mm sensing distance, SPST-NO contact operation, and a terminal-block connection. Unlike DC transistor-output proximity models, its supplied specification identifies magnetic sensing and contact type as the main electrical characteristics. Response frequency is rated at 20 Hz max. The sensor operates and stores from -20 to 60°C without icing or condensation, while the humidity range is 35% to 85% without condensation. ABS is listed as the construction material, and IP40 protection is specified. Its terminal-block format distinguishes it from cable-connected proximity models. The GLS-1 is listed under magnetic proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron GLS-1 Proximity Sensor uses a magnetic sensing principle with a 15 mm sensing distance and SPST-NO contact operation. Connection is through a terminal block rather than a pre-wired cable or plug connector. Its response frequency is specified at 20 Hz max., making sensing method, contact arrangement, distance, and connection style the main selection characteristics in the supplied data. The operating and storage temperature range is -20 to 60°C without icing or condensation. Operating and storage humidity is 35% to 85% without condensation. ABS is listed as the construction material, and the sensor is specified with IP40 protection.
The GLS-1 differs from the inductive, capacitive, and DC transistor-output sensors in the supplied product set because it uses magnetic detection and an SPST-NO contact. The available specification does not provide current consumption, dielectric strength, or detailed protection-circuit values, so those characteristics are not assigned here. The 15 mm sensing distance, terminal-block connection, magnetic sensing method, 20 Hz max. response frequency, and stated environmental limits are therefore the key technical identifiers for this model. For comparison with a different Omron proximity configuration using flat inductive sensing, a 5 mm sensing distance, DC 2-wire NC operation, and a 2 m cable, see TL-W5MD2 2M.
