acceptable guess,
I've seen them to be a balance spot between two different states,,
(ie... switch is between 2 different magnets, if bar is moved in either
direction, it would trip the sensor..)
Problem develops when they are moved..
They would have to be completely re-calibrated...
(and if your not familiar with what you've got, that was next to
impossible..)
