Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPF3-230RSAI Photoelectric Amplifier?

The Carlo Gavazzi MPF3-230RSAI is a reliable three-channel photoelectric amplifier designed for multiplexed through-beam sensing systems in industrial doors, gates and automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MPF series, it works with compatible MPFT transmitters and MPFR receivers to provide dependable object, presence and obstruction detection.

The MPF3-230RSAI provides three multiplexed sensing channels, helping prevent optical cross-talk between individual photoelectric sensor sets when several beams are installed in the same application. This RSAI version also provides individually adjustable channel sensitivity, enabling each sensing channel to be optimised for its installation conditions.

Designed for a 230 V AC supply, the MPF3-230RSAI features an inverted break-type test input that can disable the emitters for functional evaluation of the sensing system. Used with compatible MPF sensor heads, the system provides a nominal through-beam sensing range of 15 m and an SPST relay output for straightforward integration with industrial control equipment.

Key Advantages

  • Three-channel photoelectric amplifier for multi-beam detection systems.
  • 230 V AC supply for direct integration with industrial mains-powered control systems.
  • Multiplexed operation helps prevent cross-talk between the three photoelectric channels.
  • Individually adjustable channel sensitivity supports precise system configuration.
  • Inverted break-type test input supports functional checking of connected sensor sets.
  • Positive-security relay operation helps provide dependable industrial door and gate monitoring.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi MPF photoelectric sensor series.
  • Three multiplexed sensing channels.
  • 230 V AC rated supply.
  • 15 m nominal sensing range with compatible MPF sensor heads.
  • Individually adjustable sensitivity.
  • Inverted break-type test input.
  • SPST relay output.
  • Modulated infrared through-beam sensing technology.
  • LED indication for light and supply status.
  • Compatible with Carlo Gavazzi MPFT transmitters and MPFR receivers.
  • Terminal connections for control-panel wiring.
  • Designed for industrial doors, gates and automation systems.

Reliable Three-Channel Photoelectric Detection

The Carlo Gavazzi MPF system combines separate infrared transmitters and receivers with a central amplifier to create dependable through-beam detection systems. When a beam is interrupted, the amplifier evaluates the corresponding receiver signal and changes its relay state, enabling the sensing event to be incorporated into door controls, gate systems and industrial automation equipment.

The MPF3-230RSAI multiplexes its three channels to minimise cross-talk between adjacent photoelectric sensor sets. Its adjustable sensitivity allows individual channels to be configured for the application, while the break-type test function enables the emitters to be disabled so that correct sensor-system operation can be evaluated.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial automatic doors.
  • Automatic gates and access systems.
  • Multi-beam doorway obstruction detection.
  • Industrial through-beam object detection.
  • Machine and production-line monitoring.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
  • Industrial automation and control equipment.
