Proximity Sensors
Honeywell proximity sensors are ideal for many locations on an aircraft, or applications with severe shock, vibration, temperature and EMI environments
From digital output detectors sensing a few hundred milliamps to linear sensors monitoring over one thousand amps, our comprehensive line provides superior performance at a reduced cost as well as the thru-hole design, output voltage isolation from input, minimum energy dissipation, enhanced reliability with adjustable performance and built-in temperature compensation
Honeywell has two new platforms of proximity sensors: General Aerospace Proximity Sensors (GAPS) and Harsh Aerospace Proximity Sensors (HAPS), formerly known as the IHM Series. Both platforms incorporate Honeywell’s patented Integrated Health Monitoring functionality, however the products have some technical differences that allow them to be used in various aerospace applications.
GAPS can be used in less harsh areas of application with some differences of electrical and environmental characteristics when compared to HAPS.
Whilst, HAPS Aerospace Proximity Sensors are configurable, non-contact, hermetically sealed devices designed to sense the presence or absence of a target in harshduty aircraft applications.
General Aerospace Proximity Sensor (GAPS) Series
For general aerospace applications. Aero prox with optional diagnostic capability. Hermetically sealed. Platform approach. Configurable.
The General Aerospace Proximity Sensor (GAPS Series) provides on/off output, and can be configured with an optional health monitoring output to the host system. The technology Honeywell uses in the GAPS Series is considered an improvement on traditional ECKO (Eddy Current Killed Oscillator) topology that previously had been the standard in aerospace applications.
The GAPS Series helps to reduce downtime and maintenance costs due to a unique circuit that can detect any internal failures and display a fault output instead of a false positive or false negative.
Harsh Application Proximity Sensor (HAPS) Series
For harsh aerospace applications. Aero prox with optional diagnostic capability. Hermetically sealed. Platform approach. Highly configurable.
The HAPS Series provides on/off output, and can be configured with an optional health monitoring output to the host system. The technology Honeywell uses in the HAPS Series is considered an improvement on traditional ECKO (Eddy Current Killed Oscillator) topology that previously had been the standard in aerospace applications.
The HAPS Series helps to reduce downtime and maintenance costs due to a unique circuit that can detect any internal failures and display a fault output instead of a false positive or false negative.
