Reliable Two-Channel Through-Beam Detection
The MPF photoelectric system uses separate infrared transmitters and receivers positioned across the areas being monitored. The MPF2-912RS evaluates signals from two sensing channels and operates its relay contacts according to the detected beam conditions, allowing two photoelectric detection points to be managed from a single amplifier.
This two-channel architecture is particularly useful for industrial doors and gates where multiple beam positions may be required for presence or obstruction detection. DIN-rail mounting, low-voltage AC/DC operation, relay outputs and a dedicated test input also make the MPF2-912RS straightforward to integrate into industrial control cabinets and automated machinery.
