NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity, stray magnetic fields, or
other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation. Strong fields will
yield a fixed indication.
NOTE: It is not necessary to unscrew the test object from its mounting on the equipment in order
to carry out a test; a magnetic coil can even be tested through its protective covering.
