Re: Solenoid Wiring and Compressor Help
Burt,
By now you know that the pressure switch should not be connected to the + volt center pin. The two wire pin was intended for another purpose. The simplest method is to use a PWM cvable, cut off one end, insulate the center pin with heatshrink or tape, and connect the other pins to the pressure switch. The pneumatic manual on the FiRST website should answer most of the remaining questions.
