Motion-triggered contact insufficiency

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a toy car that you love to play with. Now, let's say that the wheels on your car don't always touch the ground when you push it. When this happens, the car won't be able to move forward as smoothly as it should, and it might even stop moving altogether.

Well, the same thing can happen with something called a "motion-triggered contact." This is a special kind of switch that is supposed to turn on when something moves in front of it.

But sometimes, the two parts of the switch (kind of like the wheels on your toy car) don't touch each other very well. Maybe they're just not lined up correctly, or maybe something is blocking them from touching properly.

When this happens, the switch won't work the way it's supposed to. It might not turn on when it's supposed to, or it might turn on even when nothing is moving. This can be a problem if the switch is important for something like security or safety.

So, that's what motion-triggered contact insufficiency means: it's when a switch that's supposed to turn on when something moves doesn't work properly because the two parts of the switch aren't touching the way they should.
