Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPF1-115RSA Photoelectric Amplifier?
The Carlo Gavazzi MPF1-115RSA is a single-channel photoelectric sensor amplifier designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi separate photoelectric sensing heads. It provides the power, signal evaluation and relay switching functions required to turn a remote optical transmitter and receiver arrangement into a complete industrial detection system.
Designed for a 115 V AC supply, the MPF1-115RSA is particularly suited to machinery and control installations where compact remote photoelectric sensing heads are required but the switching electronics are located separately within the control system. Its single-channel configuration provides straightforward control of one photoelectric sensing point.
The MPF1-115RSA features a relay output and make switching function, allowing the output relay to operate when the configured sensing condition is reached. A built-in test function assists with commissioning and functional checking, making the amplifier a practical solution for industrial automation, access systems, conveyors and machinery using compatible Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensing heads.

Separate-Amplifier Photoelectric Sensing
Separate-amplifier photoelectric systems divide the optical sensing components from the electronics responsible for signal processing and switching. Compact transmitter and receiver heads can therefore be mounted at the required detection point while the amplifier is installed in a more accessible location. This architecture is useful on machinery where installation space around the sensing area is restricted or where the control electronics need to remain remote from the sensing heads.
The Carlo Gavazzi MPF1-115RSA performs the amplifier and switching role within this type of system. Its single-channel design processes one compatible photoelectric sensing arrangement and provides a relay output for connection to the wider machine or automation control circuit. The incorporated test function also provides a useful means of checking system operation during installation and maintenance.
