Low air pressure switch- best location

[Jackal66]

I have a low air pressure switch that came factory on my Hurco.

It's to keep the machine from operating without air pressure to pump the way lube.

I would like to be able to boot-up and mess with the control, but not move any of the axis' until the air is connected.

Would it be ok to wire this switch in to the power of the break out board?

This way there is no power to the B_O_B so it would limit movement.

Could this damage the B_O_B?

It is a PMDX -126 board.

Thanks in advance,

Normally these are just contact closure switches so it should not hurt anything, what about linking in to the drive enables?
Another is to wire in series with the E-Stop, unless this affects what you need to do on the control?

Thanks Al,

The E-stop was first choice, power for the board was my second.

If I can navigate around with enough access in Mach 3 with out having to re-set, that will be the way to go.
