Why AC-PSH-04

Built to be fitted once and forgotten

AC-PSH-04 is the fourth generation of the AC-PSH sensor family, which went from prototype to series production and international sales.

Fast installation

Through-hole M20 mounting with two nuts. No brackets to design, no adjustment once set.

Nothing to wear out

Solid 316L sensing face, no window, seal or moving parts at the face.

Every unit pressure-tested

Hyperbaric test with live switching under pressure and a serial-numbered certificate.

Ready to install

Delivered in a hard case with PTFE magnet, A4 screw, M20 nuts and silicone grease.

Lessons from four generations

Design issues found in earlier AC-PSH models in the field are solved in this one.

Cost-effective, made in Europe

A cost-effective alternative to traditional subsea proximity sensors, with short lead times from Europe.

Installation in three steps

1

Drill

Ø20.5–21 mm through hole in the bracket – non-magnetic material preferred.
2

Fit

Sensor through the bracket, one M20 nut each side, anti-seize on the thread.
3

Set the gap

Magnet on the moving part, 5–20 mm working gap on the sensor axis.
