How does the He-800A's home position sensor work, and does it require regular cleaning?

The home position sensor incorporates a non-optical proximity sensor, which means it is not subject to operating errors caused by oil or dust. As a result, cleaning oil and dust from the sensor is unnecessary. (Page 2)
