This ultra-sensitive switch responds to a whisper or a loud clap. You
can easily set the sound threshold level to which the switch will
respond. Plus, you can also adjust the length of time the switch will
stay on after the initial activation. In the latching mode, the first sound
will activate a switch closure and the second will disable it.
