AP801-011-M5 Pressure Switch Sensor
The Adsens AP801-011-M5 is an industrial pressure switch sensor designed to detect, monitor and indicate when a programmed pressure or vacuum level has been reached. It supports machine control, process monitoring and automated pneumatic or vacuum systems.
Use this sensor to provide an electrical switching signal—and an analog signal where specified—when the measured system level reaches the configured setpoint.

How the Sensor Works
The sensor continuously measures the connected pressure or vacuum level. When the programmed threshold is reached, the switching output changes state so the machine controller can confirm the condition, continue the sequence or generate an alarm. Models with an analog output also provide a proportional signal for continuous monitoring.
Important: Confirm that the selected measurement range, output type, process connection and electrical wiring are compatible with the application before installation. Do not exceed the manufacturer's rated pressure, vacuum, voltage or current limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this sensor detect?+
The AP801-011-M5 detects changes in pressure or vacuum within its specified operating range and provides an electrical signal when the configured setpoint is reached.
What output does this model provide?+
This model is specified with 2 x NPN + Analog 4-20mA. Match the output type to the PLC, relay or control input used by the machine.
What is the process connection?+
The process connection is M5 Male 10-32UNF with Metric threading. Verify thread compatibility before installation.
Can this sensor be used for automated vacuum handling?+
Yes. Vacuum and compound-range models are commonly used to confirm that a suction cup or vacuum gripper has reached the required vacuum level before a machine moves or releases a part.
What is the difference between a switching output and an analog output?+
A switching output changes state when a programmed threshold is reached. An analog output provides a continuously varying electrical signal proportional to the measured pressure or vacuum level, where that feature is included.
How should the sensor be installed?+
Install the sensor using the specified process connection, avoid excessive mechanical stress on the housing or cable, wire the output according to the correct PNP/NPN or analog diagram, and confirm the setpoint during commissioning.
