Principle
A specially shaped tuning fork is kept vibrating using
piezo-electric elements. The oscillation of the fork damps when in contact with the material. The loss of oscillation amplitude is detected and used for switching a relay. The output contacts of the relay are in turn used for annunciation and/or control.
