The Pizzato FR 996-L9M2 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for monitoring movable guards and access doors on industrial machinery. Part of the established Pizzato FR Series, this electromechanical safety switch provides reliable guard-position detection for machine safety circuits in manufacturing, processing and automation applications.
The FR 996-L9M2 uses a hinge-operated safety switching principle, allowing movement of the associated guard or door to operate the switch mechanism directly. This arrangement provides an effective solution where conventional separate actuators are undesirable, while supporting dependable detection of an opened machine guard.
Designed for industrial installations, the FR Series combines compact construction with robust environmental protection. The M2 version uses an M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry for straightforward integration with machine wiring and cable-gland systems, making the FR 996-L9M2 suitable for new machinery and replacement safety-switch installations.
Safety switches for hinged doors monitor movement of protective guards surrounding hazardous machine areas. By linking guard movement mechanically to the switch mechanism, the safety control system can detect when the door leaves its intended closed position and initiate the appropriate machine safety response.
The Pizzato FR Series is designed for machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable electromechanical guard monitoring. The FR 996-L9M2 provides a practical solution for hinged guards where compact installation, robust construction and straightforward integration with industrial wiring systems are important.

The Pizzato FR 996-L9M2 is designed for monitoring hinged safety doors and movable guards on industrial machinery as part of an electromechanical safety system.
The switch uses a mechanical hinge-operated principle so that movement of the associated door or guard operates the switch mechanism and allows the safety system to detect its position.
The M2 configuration provides an M20 × 1.5 threaded cable entry for connection using suitable industrial cable glands and wiring.
No. As a safety switch designed for hinged doors, it uses the movement of the hinged guard to operate the switching mechanism rather than relying on a conventional tongue-style separate actuator.
The switch is suitable for hinged guards and safety doors on packaging machinery, conveyors, automated production equipment, machine tools and other industrial machinery.
Pizzato FR Series safety switches provide machine builders and automation engineers with dependable electromechanical guard monitoring, combining compact construction and practical installation features for industrial machinery and automated equipment.
