That compressor is rated for 100 psi. It will likely not stop running until the thermal switch on the compressor stops it. And then, it will not restart until the thermal switch resets.

The Nason pressure switch trips around 115 psi, well above the rated pressure of the compressor. It should not pressurize the system to the "fully charged" 115 psi level.

I don't know whether it is allowed to adjust the Nason switch to trip at a lower psi.
