Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-D11-4 Through-Beam Photoelectric Transmitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-D11-4 is a compact through-beam photoelectric transmitter designed for Carlo Gavazzi MPF separate-amplifier sensing systems. Its D11 plastic housing provides a small cylindrical sensing head for industrial doors, gates, machinery and automation installations where mounting space is limited.
The MPFT15-D11-4 uses 880 nm modulated infrared light and a focused 4° optical angle to transmit a beam towards a compatible MPFR receiver. When combined with the appropriate receiver and MPF amplifier, the sensing system provides a nominal detection distance of 15 m, enabling reliable long-range object and obstruction detection.
With its cable connection, smooth cylindrical plastic housing and IP67 protection rating, the MPFT15-D11-4 is designed for straightforward integration into demanding industrial sensing installations. Power and signal management are handled by the connected MPF amplifier, allowing the remote transmitter head to remain particularly compact.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
The MPFT15-D11-4 forms the transmitting side of a Carlo Gavazzi MPF through-beam photoelectric sensing system. It emits a modulated infrared beam towards a compatible MPFR receiver installed on the opposite side of the detection area. The connected MPF amplifier powers the sensing heads, processes the receiver signal and provides the switching interface required by the wider control system.
The separate-amplifier architecture enables the sensing head to remain compact while providing a long 15 m nominal sensing distance. This makes the MPFT15-D11-4 particularly useful for industrial doors, gates, conveyors and machinery where small remote sensors and reliable non-contact detection are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial and automatic door sensing.
- Gate and access-control systems.
- Long-range through-beam obstruction detection.
- Conveyor product and object detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and sorting systems.
- Automated machinery using separate-amplifier photoelectric sensing.
