Simple Hobbs switch question

I'm needing to wire in my Hobbs switch asap; however, I'm unsure which wire is positive and which is negative that lead into the switch. The Hobbs switch does a need a 12v source correct??

This is the switch I have:

This is the pig tail I have:

As you can see both wires on pigtail are black and I don't see any markings designating positive or negative on the switch.

I tried calling LSXtune for help, but the guy that deals with these switches is out of town.

Thanks.

Its an open switch that closes when the preset pressure is reached.

both wires are the same. one is in, one is out. when the preset pressure is reached. it connects the circuit. like turning on a light switch. you connect the wires.

hope that explains it ok.
