I have a similar setup (but with 0-80 psi gauge).  I definitely want the warning signals in place.  After all, the warning gets ones attention.  Methinks that is why manufacturers came up with the idiot lights -- for idiots like me.  A lamp is harder to ignore than a gauge is.  A buzzer is even harder to ignore (I know, some folks disable the buzzer because it is hard to ignore -- they are not wise).  mcneely
