The MPFRS.. is a family of
inexpensive general purpose
photoelectric sensors in 3 dif-
ferent types of housings with
separate amplifier. They are
designed to meet the require-
ments for industrial doors and
gates. The “Snap-ON” photo
switch can be mounted in
material with a thickness from
0.6 mm and up to 2.25 mm.
The sensor set is easy to use
and
no adjustments are nec-
essary.
The amplifier has a
test input designed to disable
the emitters and therefore
evaluate the sensor function.
Multiplexed channels prevent
cross-talk between each set
of photosensors. The ampli-
fiers are available with the fol-
lowing voltages: 12-24
VAC/DC, 115 VAC and 230
VAC. The output is made as
positive security e.g. power
lost, short-circuit or broken
sensor cable makes the relay
go to off state.

Installation Hints
Relief of cable strain Protection of the sensing face Switch mounted on mobile carrierTo avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables Incorrect
Correct
The cable should not be pulled A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
