The double "on" is actually correct. Please ask yourself the question:
"When should the sensor be powered on?".
Answer: "On first open".

Personally, I would have written "power-on" instead of "power on"
(cfr. "soft-reset"), so perhaps it's a good idea to make that change,
to prevent the next person looking for double words falling for
this again?
