Why buy Carlo Gavazzi from LED Controls?
We are an established UK distributor with genuine stock, fast delivery and application led advice. Our team helps you specify the correct Carlo Gavazzi part, provides datasheets and wiring notes, and supports integration with PLCs, HMIs and drives.
Do you hold Carlo Gavazzi stock in the UK?
Yes. We stock popular Carlo Gavazzi sensors, relays and energy products in our UK warehouse for rapid dispatch. Non-stock items are sourced quickly through our supply chain.
Do you offer next day delivery on Carlo Gavazzi products?
Many lines are available on a next working day service across the UK. Delivery options and cut off times are shown at checkout or can be confirmed by our sales team.
Can you provide Carlo Gavazzi datasheets, manuals and wiring diagrams?
Yes. We supply official datasheets, installation manuals and wiring guidance for Carlo Gavazzi products. If you need a file for a specific SKU, share the code and we will send the correct documentation.
Can you cross reference or replace a discontinued Carlo Gavazzi part?
Absolutely. Send the legacy part code and application details. We will recommend a like for like Carlo Gavazzi replacement or a suitable modern alternative with the same or improved specification.
What types of Carlo Gavazzi sensors do you supply?
We supply inductive proximity sensors, capacitive sensors, magnetic sensors, photoelectric sensors including through beam, retro reflective and diffuse, fibre optic amplifiers, ultrasonic distance sensors and IO Link ready variants.
How do I choose a Carlo Gavazzi inductive proximity sensor?
Select by thread size such as M8, M12, M18, M30, sensing distance, flush or non flush mounting, output type NPN or PNP, NO or NC switching, and connection type cable or M12 plug. Tell us your target material and space constraints and we will suggest the best model.
When should I use a Carlo Gavazzi capacitive sensor?
Use capacitive sensors for detecting non-metallic materials such as plastic, glass, wood or liquids, for example level detection through tank walls or presence sensing of non-ferrous parts.
Which Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensor style should I pick?
Through beam offers the longest range and best immunity, retro reflective suits reflective targets with a reflector, and diffuse is compact for short range detection. Fibre optic amplifiers are ideal for small parts or high temperature zones. We can help match the mode to your application.
Do you supply Carlo Gavazzi ultrasonic sensors?
Yes. Ultrasonic sensors provide distance measurement independent of colour or transparency. Choose analogue 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 V outputs or switching outputs, with M12 and M30 housings available.
Are Carlo Gavazzi sensors available with IO Link?
Many models are IO Link enabled for parameterisation and diagnostics. We can help you select IO Link masters and cables to integrate with your PLC or SCADA.
What Carlo Gavazzi solid state relays do you stock?
We stock panel mount, DIN rail and PCB solid state relays for AC and DC loads, including zero-cross and instant-on types, single phase and three phase versions, and heat sinks and accessories.
Do you offer Carlo Gavazzi soft starters?
Yes. Soft starters reduce inrush current and mechanical stress on motors. Provide motor power, supply voltage and application details such as pump or conveyor and we will size the correct unit.
Which timers and monitoring relays are available?
Carlo Gavazzi timers cover single and multifunction timing with wide supply ranges. Monitoring relays include phase sequence, phase loss, undervoltage, overvoltage, current, frequency and temperature monitoring.
Do you supply Carlo Gavazzi energy meters and power transducers?
We supply single and three-phase energy meters with pulse and Modbus outputs, panel or DIN-rail mounting, plus multifunction transducers for power, power factor and harmonics. Current transformers, Rogowski coils and communication modules are also available.
What is Carlo Gavazzi Dupline and can you support it?
Dupline is a flexible fieldbus system for building and industrial automation. We supply Dupline generators, gateways, I/O modules, room devices and sensors, and can advise on topology, addressing and integration.
Do you stock Carlo Gavazzi safety devices?
Yes. We supply safety relays, two-hand control modules, safety magnetic sensors and accessories. For light curtains and complex safety systems we can support selection and wiring best practice.
What IP ratings are available for Carlo Gavazzi sensors?
Most industrial sensors are IP65 to IP67, with selected models IP68 or IP69K for washdown. Stainless steel and ATEX options are available on specific series.
Do you supply ATEX rated Carlo Gavazzi products?
Certain sensors and accessories are available with ATEX certification for hazardous areas. Share your zone, gas or dust group, and temperature class requirements and we will confirm suitable parts.
Are Carlo Gavazzi products compatible with my PLC?
Yes. Products offer standard signals such as NPN, PNP, relay, 0 to 10 V and 4 to 20 mA. Communication options include Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet and IO Link. We can assist with wiring to Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron and other PLC brands.
What supply voltages are supported?
Typical supply ranges include 10 to 30 V DC for sensors and 24, 115 or 230 V AC for amplifiers, relays and timers. Always confirm the exact rating on the datasheet for the chosen SKU.
Do Carlo Gavazzi meters require calibration?
Meters are factory calibrated. Accuracy depends on correct CT ratio, wiring and configuration. We can advise on commissioning steps and verification.
How do I select current transformers for Carlo Gavazzi meters?
Choose CTs based on primary current, secondary output 1 A, 5 A or 333 mV, window size and accuracy. For retrofit use split-core or Rogowski coils. Tell us your mains details and we will recommend a matched set.
Do solid state relays need heat sinks?
Most panel-mount SSRs require an appropriate heat sink sized for load current, ambient temperature and mounting orientation. We can calculate and supply the correct heat sink and thermal pad.
What warranty do Carlo Gavazzi products carry?
Carlo Gavazzi provides a manufacturer warranty against defects. Warranty length varies by product family. Contact us with the SKU for details and RMA support.
Can I return an incorrectly ordered Carlo Gavazzi item?
