mpf3-230rsi – photo amp 3ch 230va test break
Carlo Gavazzi MPF3-230RSI is a three-channel 230 V AC photoelectric amplifier with multiplexed through-beam sensing, a 15 m nominal sensing range, SPST relay output and break-type test input for industrial doors, gates and automation systems.
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.

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.
