Warning! Advisement about the difference between S-SW-8 and S-SW-3:
Differently of S-SW-3, the first time that S-SW-8 starts operation, an adjustment must
be triggered with empty sensor detection area. To do this, press SW1 at least 5 sec-
onds, until the LED4 lights up red (calibration started). The calibration process is
completed when LED1 flashes green. Only after that objects can enter the detection
area (relay switches on) or the sensitivity can be changed. We recommend using the
automatic sensitivity adjustment.
