If I'm reading the flow chart correctly and what a pressure transducer is used for, I would say it is not legal to be used.

No energy sources other then the battery may be used, and it is a custom pneumatic part not from this year or previous, so it is not legal by these standards either.

A pressure transducer is not an energy source. It's an analog pressure sensor that allows you to see exactly what the air pressure in your pneumatic system is - unlike the pressure switch, which just turns on or off based on a fixed setpoint, the transducer outputs a voltage that is ratiometric to the pressure of the system connected to it. They are indeed legal - in fact, you should have received one in the kit of parts. It's a little brass thing with one threaded end and one end that has three wires hanging out of it.

Oh I see, what I read about and understood about it was that it took pressure and converted it into an energy source/flow.
