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

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

The MPF3-230RSI provides three multiplexed sensing channels, enabling multiple photoelectric beams to operate in the same installation while reducing optical cross-talk between transmitter and receiver pairs. Its modulated infrared sensing technology and relay interface make it well suited to applications requiring dependable multi-beam detection.

Designed for a 230 V AC supply, the MPF3-230RSI incorporates a break-type test input for functional evaluation of the connected photoelectric system. When paired with suitable Carlo Gavazzi MPF sensor heads, the system provides a nominal through-beam sensing range of 15 m, making it particularly suitable for automatic doors, industrial gates and machine automation.

Key Advantages

  • Three-channel photoelectric amplifier for multi-beam sensing applications.
  • 230 V AC supply for integration with industrial control systems.
  • Multiplexed channels help prevent optical cross-talk between sensor pairs.
  • Break-type test input supports functional evaluation of the photoelectric system.
  • SPST relay output provides straightforward interfacing with control equipment.
  • 15 m nominal sensing range with compatible MPF transmitter and receiver heads.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi MPF series.
  • Three multiplexed photoelectric channels.
  • 230 V AC operating supply.
  • 15 m nominal through-beam sensing range.
  • Modulated infrared sensing technology.
  • SPST relay output.
  • Break-type test input.
  • Positive-security relay operation.
  • LED status indication.
  • Terminal connection for control-panel wiring.
  • Compatible with Carlo Gavazzi MPFT transmitters and MPFR receivers.
  • Designed for industrial doors, gates and general automation applications.

Reliable Three-Channel Photoelectric Detection

The Carlo Gavazzi MPF system combines separate infrared transmitters and receivers with a dedicated amplifier to create a reliable through-beam detection solution. When an object interrupts one of the infrared beams, the corresponding receiver signal is evaluated by the amplifier and its relay output can be used by the connected control system.

With three multiplexed channels, the MPF3-230RSI is particularly useful where several photoelectric beams are positioned close together. Multiplexing reduces the possibility of one transmitter influencing an unintended receiver, helping maintain dependable detection in automatic doors, gates, access systems and industrial machinery.

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.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Industrial automation and control equipment.
