POSITION
SENSORS
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.
