Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5L Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5L is an MC88C series safety magnetic sensor with LED indication designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. Its rectangular plastic housing contains 2NO dry reed contacts, providing dual normally open switching outputs for integration with compatible machine-safety control systems.
This version features a left-exit configuration and an integrated M8 connector, providing a compact and convenient connection arrangement for machine installation and servicing. An integrated LED indicator provides useful local status indication, helping commissioning and maintenance personnel confirm sensor operation directly at the machine.
The MC88CH2OLM5L provides a specified 18 mm switch-on distance and 30 mm switch-off distance. It supports a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W, while IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support dependable industrial use.

LED-Equipped Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5L uses magnetic actuation to monitor movable machine guards without requiring physical contact between the sensor and actuator. When a suitable coded magnetic actuator enters or leaves the operating region, the sensor's two normally open reed contacts change state so that compatible safety circuitry can monitor guard position.
The MC88C range supports coded magnetic actuators with different operating distances, including the MC88CM1, MC88CM2 and MC88CM3 configurations. The MC88CM3 provides the corresponding 18 mm switch-on and 30 mm switch-off distances, while the sensor's LED indication and M8 connection simplify installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding machine guards.
- Removable protective guards and covers.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Safety-related non-contact position monitoring systems.
