Environmental Specifications

The Gentech PS1 and PS2 Series of

magnetic reed switch position sensors

provide reliability and a robust construction

suitable for dirty, oily, greasy, wet and

similarly harsh environments. Operated by a

similarly packaged (PM Series) magnet, the

combination is suitable for direct magnet or

shunt operation. PS Series position sensors

meet a wide variety of application needs in

security and safety systems, office

equipment, fluid level sensing and

management, construction plant, the

automotive and many other industries.
