## **Product Descri tion p** 

## **Orderin Ke g y** 

The MPFRS.. is a family of inexpensive general purpose photoelectric sensors in 3 different types of housings with separate amplifier. They are designed to meet the requirements 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 sen sor set is easy to use and no adjustments are necessary. The amplifier has
