Re: PRESSURE SWITCH

If you fire a large cylinder a few times rapidl, you will notice how quickly the system pressure (at the tanks) drops below 60 PSI, even when you started at 95 - 115 psi. It takes a long time for the compressor to recover and your cylinders may move slower while the compressor is trying to catch up.

If you limited your reservior pressure to 60 psi, the system might never recover during a match if you were trying to operate pneumatics.
