Narrative:

Landing gear failed to retract after takeoff. Followed checklist and called ZZZZ maintenance and ZZZ technician for troubleshooting. Could not determine cause and declared emergency with ATC. Briefed flight attendants and passenger and returned for a normal uneventful landing. ZZZZ maintenance determined problem to be 'proximity detector processing unit.' after airplane was fixed; we flew flight to ZZZ1 and had normal gear operations.
