Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-4C Through-Beam Photoelectric Transmitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi MPFT15-4C is a compact through-beam photoelectric transmitter designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi MPF receivers and separate MPF amplifiers. Its 12 mm diameter plastic housing provides a space-saving sensing head for industrial doors, gates, machinery and automation installations where reliable long-range detection is required.
The MPFT15-4C emits 880 nm modulated infrared light with a narrow 4° optical angle. When paired with the corresponding receiver, the MPF sensing system provides a rated operating distance of up to 15 m, making it suitable for applications requiring a substantial detection span between transmitter and receiver.
This C-version features a cable with connector for convenient installation and replacement. The cylindrical smooth-barrel sensor head uses a durable plastic housing with IP67 protection, while snap-on mounting allows straightforward integration using compatible mounting hardware such as the Carlo Gavazzi AMPF-MB1 bracket.
Key Advantages
- 15 m rated operating distance when used as part of a compatible MPF through-beam sensing system.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
The MPFT15-4C forms the transmitting side of a Carlo Gavazzi MPF through-beam photoelectric system. It projects a modulated infrared beam towards a compatible MPF receiver positioned on the opposite side of the detection area. The separate MPF amplifier processes the receiver signal and provides the required switching interface to the machine, door or gate control system.
This separate-head architecture is particularly useful where the sensing points need to remain small and unobtrusive. With its focused 4° beam, 15 m rated operating distance and rugged IP67 construction, the MPFT15-4C provides a practical transmitter for reliable obstruction and presence detection across industrial openings and machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial and automatic door sensing.
- Gate and access-control systems.
- Long-range through-beam obstruction detection.
- Conveyor object and product detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and automated production equipment.
- Multi-beam systems using compatible MPF amplifiers.
