I have the tjm pro under the hood with the catuned bracket.
Use it with the morrflate air magic box to digitally set pressure to two tires at once. Worked absolutely great in Moab!

This is the link to the catuned system I have

I think it's about $100 more vs when I ordered it, but I may have gotten early pricing. Super nice. 100% duty cycle.

All,
I am in the process of installing the OWL Vans compressor under the drivers seat and I have a couple of questions that I hope someone on this forum can help me with. So here we go: The OWL kit comes with wires made up for the switch, but it doesn’t have an ignition trigger and it appears that once installed the compressor will be able to run with or without the ignition on. I am planning to wire the power supply (2 - 40 amp wires) to the 5th open position in the 2nd Littlefuse busbar. I have ordered the stud, etc. I think the 2nd Littlefuse busbar pulls from the Auxillary battery so in theory if I did leave the compressor on without the ignition it would only drain the auxillary battery? Can anyone confirm this?

Alternatively, I looked at the Agile Off-road installation and the run a trigger wire to the fuse box and use and open position to run the trigger switch for the compressor. This will make sure that the compressor won’t be able to turn on without the ignition.

Based on the wiring diagram from ARB, posted above, it would appear that I can likely install the unit with the OWL kit, but to have it trigger off of the ignition I would need to run a separate trigger line to the fuse box and then to the middle of the switch?

On the OWL kit - I am not entirely sure how the power supply feeds the switch, but I cam guessing that there is a power supply pulled from compressor that is always hot and the switch then triggers the relay to run the compressors. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ok - so did a little more research on the compressor in person and it appears the wiring diagram is not entirely accurate as there is a hot 12V in the 3 prong connector showing only Purple and Black. There is also a Red hot line that will feed the switch. This is what OWL did - they used the hot line out of the compressor to fee the switch so you don’t have the ignition trigger. In this installation you are hard wired to the battery for the compressor and not dependent on the ignition. Assuming the battery load is taken from the Auxiliary battery that would be OK with me in the event I left the switch on, assuming I had an air leak. I know they all leak at some point so eventually you will have a dead battery.

So my options are to run a “trigger” line connected to the ignition, per the instructions from Agile and ARB, OR does anything know if any of the Littlefuse bus bars are triggered by the AUX switches, etc? I GUESS - I could run the trigger to one of the AUX switches on the interior, but not sure I want to run the wires? Just an idea - would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks

I'm a KISS kind of guy so I would prefer to run the compressor on it's own circuit. That way it's not dependent upon having a key in the ignition. I tend to be diligent about vehicle shut down so I'm not too worried about draining a battery. If you are then mount a lighted on/off switch that you can see when exiting and you should b pretty well covered. If you're anywhere in the vehicle or near by you should be able to hear the compressor turn on if a leak develops. Omitting a tank would also reduce the possibility of leaks when away from the vehicle as well. With the Ineos dual battery system I don't see how it matters where you're drawing power from as the batteries are always connected and trying to equalize - so to speak.
