Charles;
The way I understand it is this: 
Below 2000 rpm the dynamic oil-pressure system checks the output of the
4.4psi for an OPEN circuit. This signifies enough pressure is present to
OPEN the switch. If a switch closure IS detected the LED flashes.
Above 2000 rpm the dynamic oil pressure system stops looking at the
4.4psi switch and starts looking for a switch CLOSURE from the 13.1psi
switch. If a closed circuit is NOT detected the LED flashes and the
buzzer sounds. 
The circuit is NOT designed to warn of too much pressure, only enough
pressure at two rpm ranges.

Good Luck
