Black PINDA blink LED when near bed or any metal and produce clicking noise

Hello,

I wan't to ask if your pinda behaves like same, my black pinda with red LED turns off when very near to bed or with any metal like a tweezer. Also when not printing and i put a metal near it the led goes off and i can hear power supply or board noise, is that normal?

The diode is located there to indicate PINDA status. When the PINDA sensor goes out, it indicates that the nozzle is at the correct height for the first layer.

Thank you, does the grey pinda have a LED too?

Yes, they are similar, only different brands.
