Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi I.S.2 Magnetic Slot Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi I.S.2 is an industrial magnetic slot proximity sensor from the Carlo Gavazzi I Series, designed for reliable non-contact position and presence detection. Its slot-style housing makes it suitable for machinery and automation applications where a magnetic actuator can pass through or operate within the sensor's detection area.
The I.S.2 uses a change-over reed contact output, providing flexible switching for industrial control and signalling circuits. The contact is rated for a maximum switching voltage of 230 V AC, maximum switching current of 1 A and maximum switching power of 60 VA.
A durable plastic slot housing, integral PVC cable connection and IP67 protection make the Carlo Gavazzi I.S.2 suitable for demanding industrial environments. With an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +75 °C, it provides a straightforward magnetic sensing solution for automation, position monitoring and machine control applications.
