Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2L Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2L is a robust safety magnetic sensor with LED indication designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C safety magnetic sensor series, this model combines a right-exit configuration, 2 normally open (2NO) reed contacts and a factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable.
The MC88CH2ORA2L uses magnetic actuation to detect the position of a compatible MC88 actuator without requiring direct mechanical engagement. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear in applications where machine guards are frequently opened and closed. An integrated yellow LED provides convenient visual status indication for operation, commissioning and diagnostics.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the MC88CH2ORA2L provides IP67 protection and operates from -25 to +80 °C. Its dry reed contacts have a maximum switching voltage of 12–24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W, providing dependable switching for compatible machine safety circuits.

Reliable Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors monitor movable machine guards without requiring the mechanical engagement associated with conventional electromechanical safety switches. When a guard is opened or displaced, the change in magnetic actuation changes the reed contact state, enabling compatible safety control equipment to detect the condition and respond according to the designed machine safety function.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2L combines 2NO switching, yellow LED indication and a right-exit 2 m PVC cable in a compact rectangular housing. The MC88C system offers compatible MC88CM1, MC88CM2 and MC88CM3 actuators with different operating distances, allowing the magnetic safety arrangement to be selected for the requirements of the guard installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding and removable machine guards.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Industrial machine safety and interlocking systems.
