When your robot is inspected, you will need to demonstrate that the compressor turns of via software at a high side pressure of no more than 120 PSI. For that reason it is recommended you follow the system diagram at the bottom of page 20 of the robot manual and include a presuure guage at both the high side (120 PSI) and working pressure (60 PSI) side of the regulator.

"<R88> The Nason Co. pressure switch must be connected to the output end of one of the Clippard tanks to sense the tank’s pressure. The two wires from the pressure switch must be connected directly to a digital input and ground terminals on the Robot Controller, and the controller must be programmed to sense the state of the switch to operate the relay that powers the compressor."
