Amisca,

What you have done is 100% correct. The software in the RC controls the compressor. The following lines of code are from the IFI default code, file user_routines.c, lines 274 and 275:

  relay8_fwd = !rc_dig_in18;  /* Power pump only if pressure switch is off. */
  relay8_rev = 0;

Note that this code presupposes that you have connected the compressor control to Relay 8 and the pressure switch to Digital Input 18.

I also strongly recommend that you replace the 20A CB in the Spike with a 20A CB as per <R65>.

Regards,

Mike
