REFLECTOR: pressure switch

[Carl Hoffman via Reflector]

What you need is a momentary switch that that overrides the down pressure switch, turning the pump on if the pressure switch has failed or not set correctly.
I thought this was standard on a Velocity RG.

I am wondering if it is an adjustment problem on my "up" pressure switch. Some times when I try to put the gear down, the pump will come on momentarily and then turn off. I then have to pull the pressure relief handle (emergency gear down) and the pump will come on. I then move the emergency handle back to closed and gear come down normally. This has always been there as an anomaly, but seems to be getting worse as I progress into flight testing.
