Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IS2 Magnetic Slot Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IS2 is a robust magnetic slot proximity sensor designed for reliable position and presence detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi I Series, it features a durable plastic slot-style housing and a magnetically actuated reed contact, providing dependable switching without requiring physical contact between the sensor and moving machine components.
The IS2 is the change-over (C/O) version of the I Series magnetic slot sensor. Its change-over reed contact provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions, allowing flexible integration with relays, PLC inputs, machine controls and industrial signalling circuits.
With a maximum contact switching voltage of 230 V AC, maximum switching current of 1 A and maximum switching power of 60 VA, the IS2 provides a versatile switching solution for industrial applications. An IP67 plastic enclosure and operating temperature range of -25 to +75 °C support reliable operation in demanding environments.

Reliable Magnetic Position Detection for Industrial Automation
Magnetic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi IS2 detect the magnetic field produced by a suitable actuator and use it to operate an internal reed contact. Because detection does not require direct mechanical contact with the moving component, magnetic sensing provides a simple and durable method of monitoring machine position, movement and presence.
The IS2 combines a slot-style housing with a change-over output, allowing both normally open and normally closed circuit functions from a single sensor. Its IP67 construction, wide operating temperature range and straightforward PVC cable connection make it suitable for integration into industrial machinery and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position detection.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- End-of-travel and movement monitoring.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Door, guard and access-position detection.
- PLC and industrial control-system inputs.
