	The 1129 is actually a capacitive change sensor. When the capacitance changes the ''Sensor Value'' reports 1. If the ''Sensor Value'' remains at 1 for longer than 60 seconds, it will recalibrate back down to 0, regardless if the sensor is still being touched. This recalibration can also be done manually by unplugging and plugging the sensor back into the HUB0000 (or {{CT\|HasAI\|compatible product}}). This is a useful feature because it means that the sensor can be mounted on a flat surface such as a piece of glass or plastic and be reset so that it does not register the change in capacitance caused by the surface it is mounted on. On the bottom side of the 1129 there is a small exposed metallic pad. A soldered connection can be made to the pad to increase the size and dimensions of the touchable area, such as attaching the sensor to a metallic object or some wire. Once the sensor is recalibrated, the ''Sensor Value'' will increase to 1 if the attached object is touched anywhere. Although there is an exposed metallic pad on the bottom of the board, the pad does not have to be touched directly to activate the sensor - touching anywhere on the board will activate the sensor. The 1129 can work as a close proximity sensor, sensing objects at a distance of up to 1/2" from the board in all directions without direct contact. The 1129 will also work through a thickness of up to 1/2" of glass, plastic, or paper.		The 1129 is actually a capacitive change sensor. When the capacitance changes the ''Sensor Value'' reports 1.
