GX CS3 Pressure cut-off switch fail

An interesting event, yesterday, at the range. Temperatures hit 35C (95 F) and on thing that was affected was that the pressure cut-off lead unplugged from the circuit board.

If someone is unfamiliar with the operation, disconnecting the gauge lead means that the pressure cut-off doesn't cut the compressor so pressure continues until something else intervenes.

Fortunately, I was paying some attention and shut down. I'm going to doubly secure the lead such that it cannot come out of the socket.

I also adjusted the pressure relief valve down to about 3,500 PSI since my highest fill pressure is 3,300 PSI
