Correction:
The Nason Pressure Switch OPENS when the pressure is above 125psi and CLOSES when it drops below ~95psi. See page 3 of the FRC 2010 Pneumatics Manual. It must be installed on the high pressure side of the regulator.
The robot inspector may check that the pressure relief valve works by using a clip-wire to short the Pressure Switch, effectively closing it. This should turn on the compressor. The relief valve must be installed directly on the compressor this year <R77>. The inspector will run the compressor up to no more than 135psi expecting that the relief valve will operate at ~130psi.
