The device appears to be variant of a magnetic chip detector.These are prolific in the aviation world to inform the crew of gearbox degredation. Actions on illumination vary considerably from oil change to gearbox rebuild.This device would inform you that there are metallic particles in the oil. The challenge is that the size of particles that require action needs to be well understood as metallic particles are produced normally during standard wear and tear.
