It sounds like you already have this, so just verify.

The compressor will only shut off if pressure reaches 115psi.
If pressure stops climbing at 60 psi or so, then your regulator is probably backwards.
You should also put a snap (self-resetting) fuse 20A in place of the standard yellow blade fuse 20A in your compressor spike. Startup (stall) current for the compressor has been known to kill those standard fuses. Rule 55 allows you to alter the configuration of the compressor spike.
