I happen to be all three... Software, Electrical, and Pneumatics... Not too many show up at daily meetings, so that's what I work on.

I'm confident it's not the code that's causing the problem, rather the wiring and it having something to do with using the wrong wiring initally.

I checked the manual beforehand but never saw anything about the wiring of the pressure switch, and our mentor seems to know what he's saying as far as electrical, every question I've had about it so far he's answered without a problem... So I was surprised when I found out about the correct wiring.

I'll check the switch tomorrow with a multimeter asap, I had to leave today before getting the chance to troubleshoot at all.

As a side question, we are running a single cylinder right now. The air from the compressor comes in one end of the tank and the gauge is at the other end of the tank, on a T with the pressure gauge. Is the pressure switch supposed to trigger at 60 or 120psi?
