FR 2296-L9 Pizzato Safety switch for hinged doors

Why Choose the Pizzato FR 2296-L9 Safety Switch for Hinged Doors?

The Pizzato FR 2296-L9 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for dependable monitoring of hinged machine guards, safety doors and protective access panels. Part of the established Pizzato FR Safety Switch Series, it combines the guard hinge and safety switching function to provide reliable position monitoring for industrial machinery and automated equipment.

The FR 2296-L9 incorporates a 2 NO + 1 NC slow-action (B22) contact configuration with positive-opening operation of the normally closed safety contact. Movement of the hinged guard mechanically operates the switch, allowing the NC safety contact to open positively and enabling a connected safety relay, safety controller or machine control system to initiate the required safety response.

Built around a durable technopolymer housing, the FR 2296-L9 features a PG13.5 threaded cable entry and provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 together with IP69K protection according to ISO 20653. Its dedicated hinge-actuation arrangement makes it particularly suitable where conventional separate-actuator switches would be less convenient or more exposed.

Key Advantages

• Purpose-designed safety switch for hinged machine guards and doors.
• 2 NO + 1 NC slow-action (B22) contacts provide safety and auxiliary signalling functionality.
• Positive-opening NC safety contact provides direct mechanical contact opening.
• Hinge-actuated operation avoids the need for a conventional separate key actuator.
• Durable technopolymer housing designed for industrial machinery.
• IP67 / IP69K protection provides excellent resistance to dust and water ingress.
• Provides discreet and effective guard-position monitoring at the hinge point.

Reliable Hinged Guard and Safety-Door Monitoring

Hinge-operated safety switches provide an effective way to monitor the position of hinged machine guards without requiring a separate key actuator mounted away from the hinge. Rotation of the guard is mechanically transferred to the switching mechanism, changing the contact state as the door moves from its safe position and allowing the machine safety system to respond.

The Pizzato FR 2296-L9 combines this operating principle with a 2 NO + 1 NC slow-action contact arrangement and positive-opening safety operation. This makes it a practical solution for machine builders and system integrators requiring reliable guard monitoring while maintaining a clean, compact installation around the machine enclosure.
