The 1.6m Multi-channel Photometric Survey Telescope (Mephisto) of Yunnan University located at Lijiang Observatory was triggered to observe GRB 241112B (sb24111201) detected by SVOM/ECLAIRs and SVOM/GRM (Yang et al., GCN 38173). The observations were started at 11:46:00 (UT) 2024-11-12 (~0.8 hr after SVOM trigger) and multiple frames were obtained in uvgriz bands. No new candidate was detected in the stacked images, consistent with Kumar et al. (GCN 38175). The 3-sigma upper limits are the following:
Mid-Time(UT) Band Exp(s) Lim-mag(AB)

Mephisto (Multi-channel Photometric Survey Telescope) is a 1.6m wide-field multi-channel telescope, the first of its type in the world, capable of imaging the same field of view in three optical bands simultaneously. It provides real-time, high-quality colors of stellar objects. The on-site telescope assemblage and commissioning were carried out in September 2022. The first light in all three channels was achieved on 2023 December 21.
