Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPF1-912RSL Photoelectric Amplifier?
The Carlo Gavazzi MPF1-912RSL is a single-channel through-beam photoelectric amplifier designed for industrial doors, gates and automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MPF family, this model combines a 12–24 V AC/DC supply, low-voltage relay output, test input and DIN-rail mounting in a compact industrial control module.
The MPF1-912RSL provides the control electronics for compatible Carlo Gavazzi separate-head through-beam photoelectric sensing systems. Its single multiplexed sensing channel processes the signals from the connected emitter and receiver, while the relay output provides a convenient interface to industrial control equipment.
This RSL version is designed with a low-current SPST relay output rated at up to 0.5 A for low-voltage resistive loads. The amplifier also incorporates a test input with normal make function, enabling the sensing system to be functionally tested. Its IP40 plastic enclosure measures approximately 70 × 57 × 86 mm and is designed for DIN-rail installation.

Reliable Single-Channel Through-Beam Control
The Carlo Gavazzi MPF system separates the photoelectric sensing heads from the amplifier electronics. Compact transmitter and receiver heads can therefore be installed at the detection point while the MPF1-912RSL is mounted remotely on a DIN rail within the control system. This arrangement is particularly useful for industrial doors, gates and machinery where compact sensing heads and accessible control electronics are desirable.
The MPF1-912RSL provides one sensing channel together with a low-current SPST relay output and a dedicated test input. The normal make test arrangement enables functional checking of the connected sensing system, while the 12–24 V AC/DC supply makes the amplifier straightforward to integrate into common low-voltage industrial control installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial doors and gates.
- Through-beam photoelectric detection systems.
- Automatic access and entrance systems.
- Industrial conveyor monitoring.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling equipment.
- Presence and passage detection.
- Automation systems using remotely mounted photoelectric sensing heads.
