Default Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???

I have a new stocker that has a brake pressure switch for launch control and I am trying to understand how it works and how to set it properly? I am just an old 2 step switch kind of guy (and am easily confused).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Folk Race cars closed. The switch you want has an adjustable pressure Range 100 to 1000 PSI. 3 wires. Black wire is not used.
Recommend wiring power to it thru a 3rd gear micro switch.
Power is removed to the BPS when in 3rd gear ( if a 3sp Auto)
This will allow you to apply brakes at 1,000 and the 2 step will not be activated.
Set up a LED light in the circuit so you know when the 2 step is powered up with right brake PSI
Believe they are 200.00 or so.

The pressure switch is adjusted to close a set of electrical tips . When the brake pressure is reached voltage is pass to the 2 step device . Usually
There is toggle switch to select between 2 step and 3 step for the water burn out

Has anyone done this with Precision Shifter forward pattern Kwik-Shift I Manual Shifter? Can someone send me a pic or point me to a good reliable microswitch and mount? Thanks!
