Hello,

Attached is a photo of the motion sensor that was provided with the PrivateEyePi Alarm kit.  As far as I can tell there is no dip switch that can set the trigger mode.  There is, however, in the place that the dip switch would have been [based on the photos on the PrivateEyePi web site, three solder pads.  The upper is labeled "L" and the lower "H".  Presumably this has some relationship to the dip switch.

Please advise.

Thanks much,
Bill Cole

The trigger mode dip switch is not needed. Once the time interval has expired then the sensor resets. Be careful not to set the time interval too low otherwise you will get multiple hits for each motion sensed. 

See attached pic of the positions I usually set the time interval and distance.

Thanks much.  Maybe an update to the motion detector instructions would save you answering these sorts of questions.
