Honeywell GAPS General Aerospace Proximity Sensors

Honeywell GAPS General Aerospace Proximity Sensors are configurable, non-contact, hermetically sealed devices designed to sense the presence or absence of a target. Honeywell GAPS sensors provide on/off outputs and can be configured with an optional health monitoring output to the host system. Enhanced vibration / electromagnetic interference (EMI) specifications and hermetic sealing increase flight hours while reducing the need for system maintenance.
