Thanks Richard they are great but they are the new instructions using the engel UNI dive tank control the older lafayette i have is using the norbert brugen dive control board and the contacts are totalt differant but I have now got the instructions for that plus the battery setup in your instructions seem to work as well for the older model so thanks mate

Apparently the pressure switch plugs into the water detection terminal on the bruggen board.

You know Tom I was thinking that myself as the pressure switch is just that a switch thats off or on same as the water detection. I will be up and running later today I hope just got to sort some paint out and a little bit of wiring on the piston tank now i have decoded your photos lol .

To be honest I'm not a fan of the pressure switch I think engel subs are the only ones that use them and I don't think I've ever set the one on my typhoon off
