I have an air compressor (220V 2 stage) that I am having a hard time wiring up. I tried looking at the manufacture to look for diagrams but I can't find any.
Here is the Magnetic Switch

</a>

Here is the Pressure switch

</a>

It works right now if I push the button in the middle. Also if I wanted to hook up an ON/OFF switch off which pole would you connect it?

Thanks
Dave

Not a good enough picture for me to see everything.

Is there a "C1" and "C2" terminals? (operating coil terminals)
Does it say what the operating coil voltage is?
Can you see where the operating coil terminals are? (I can't)

Anyway the white pressure switch wires will interupt the voltage to the operating coil so if you just want a regular SPST light switch to shut it off, you would wire it in series with one of the white wires Or in series with one of the operating coil wires.

I'm moving this to the Electrical & Wiring forum.

Well I was playying with the wiring yesterday and now the button is stuck. I kinda shorted something out... :D
I am just going to buy a new one today.
