I want to make latching relay and it need to be triggered by positive (High) trigger from my laser ldr alarm. The one above i made is working ok but it is triggered by negative (Low) trigger.Let's see if I understand what you are trying to do.
1. There is a constant source of DC.
2. When the normally-open trigger switch is closed briefly, you want the relay to energize, latch itself in the energized state, and send DC power to an alarm.
3. When the normally-closed reset switch is opened briefly, you want the relay to de-energize and turn off the alarm.
Is this correct?

The relay should be not activated when is low/ground/0 signal. The latching relay should be activated when the laser beam is breached and stayed latched even the laser get back to it's original position (off). If you can see above i made the good latching relay but it is activated with the Ground pulse and i want to be activated with the 9v- 12V pulse/trigger. The 12V power can drive the relay directly.What is a "laser ldr alarm"?
What do you mean by a "high trigger"? Do you mean a signal that starts out at ground, then jumps up to +12 V in the alarm condition? Is the output of the laser alarm a set of contacts that closes, of an electric signal? If it is a signal, how much current can it source? can it drive the relay directly, or does it need a current booster?
Can you post a link to the alarm? Product page, user manual, whatever ...

It all begins right about here and what you see now is a continuation.What is a "laser ldr alarm"?

Solved!
Yeah, OK so the circuit provided in your other thread was of no help right?After few days asking for help I solved the issue all by myself!
I didn’t managed to make it work so I played with the relay till I configured it and i made new circuit, the 1st one i made was good but it was ground ( - ) triggered and when swapped the plus and minus terminals and the diode the latching Relay working now as positive ( + ) triggered what is what I needed.Yeah, OK so the circuit provided in your other thread was of no help right?
