You should read through the directions in the kit. It sounds like you
tried
to charge the system without the a/c turned on. If you have a can of
refrigerant hooked to the system there will be enough pressure in there to
close the low-pressure switch. Don't worry about that.
Air conditioning systems aren't really an off-the-cuff affair. You have a
leak somewhere. The kit you bought will probably get your system working,
but you're going to be adding refrigerant again soon if you don't fix the
leak. You'll also probably overload it with oil if you keep adding it.
