Working Principle
The sensor uses a Hall-effect element to detect magnetic fields. When a magnet or metal object enters the sensing range:
- Sensor detects magnetic field
- Output transistor activates (NPN sinks current)
- LED indicator turns ON
It is commonly triggered by the south pole of a magnet within its sensing range
