Added gate resistance as suggested for better immunity to ESD transients
Jan 23, 2017 at 12:14 comment added Douwe66 Good point, I'll add it to the circuit diagram
Jan 23, 2017 at 12:13 comment added stefandz I would consider adding a 10k resistor between the cathode of D1 and the junction between R1 and the right-hand side of the sensor to limit the instantaneous current into the gate of M1 from a static discharge and help D1 do its work by generally slowing fast edges down. If you find this circuit particularly noise-prone, a 100pF or so capacitor across R1 may help that - you'll have to build it and try it out!
