One solution could be to check if pressure when inflating is below the preset. This means that there is not enough pressure in the tank and that the tires will deflate instead of inflate. Doing so it can be avoid that the pressure in the wet tank gets below a critical level. Than it can be used the cheap compressor switch that start below 80 and stop at 120...
And I hope that people will check that something is going wrong if engine fan starts spinning due low air in the wet tank.
BUT it's not as safe as it's now: if wire is broken the ctis will not start...

That can’t happen unless your tires are over ~85 PSI or you are drawing CTIS air from somewhere else. CTIS(and the fan) pulls air from the protection valve and it wont let air out of the wet tank unless the tank pressure is over 85PSI…
