Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CLM5L Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CLM5L is a non-contact safety magnetic sensor with LED indication designed for monitoring hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C series, it uses magnetically operated reed contacts to provide dependable guard-position monitoring without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated safety switches.
This model features a left-hand exit, integrated M8 connector and 1NO + 1NC dry reed contact configuration. Integrated LED indication provides convenient visual status feedback during installation, commissioning and operation. The sensor has a protected switch-on distance of 18 mm and protected switch-off distance of 30 mm.
The MC88CH1O1CLM5L supports a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W. Its compact 88 × 25 × 13 mm rectangular plastic housing, -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range and IP67 protection make it a robust solution for industrial machine safety applications.

LED-Equipped Non-Contact Guard Monitoring
The MC88CH1O1CLM5L monitors movable guards without requiring physical contact between the sensor and magnetic actuator. When the actuator enters or leaves the sensor's operating area, the internal reed contacts change state, allowing compatible safety monitoring equipment to supervise whether the machine guard is in the required position.
Integrated LED indication provides convenient visual feedback for commissioning and diagnostics, while the M8 connection simplifies sensor replacement and machine wiring. Carlo Gavazzi offers MC88CM1, MC88CM2 and MC88CM3 magnetic actuators for the MC88C range, providing different assured switching distances to suit the required guard installation.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guard monitoring.
- Sliding safety gates and doors.
- Removable machine protection panels.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machine safety systems requiring visual sensor status indication.
