In the detection of the slide type, there are two ways of arrangement of magnetic field detecting
direction against moving direction. One is parallel and another is cross with moving direction.
In case of parallel positioning of magnetic field with moving direction [arrangement 1], the output of IC
might be L-level (ON-state) → H-level (OFF-state) → L-level (ON-state) → H-level (OFF-state) due to
reverse-magnetic field.
To prevent from this malfunction, it is recommended to arrange the detection direction of sensor and
magnetic field to be crossed with moving direction of cover [arrangement 2].
