A: Part 1: You must use the pressure switch. You cannot use the analog sensor. Part 2: You may run the pump all the time; you can ignore the sensor BUT you MUST use the sensor. It is unwise to run your pump all the time as it uses power from your battery.
That seems to say very clearly that the analog sensor (pressure transducer) can not be used..... for whatever reason, I am not sure. Unless I am interpreting this wrong?

There are two possible interpretations. The first one is that the analog sensor may not be used under any circumstances. The second is the analog sensor must not be used in place of the pressure switch, but it may be used to supplement the pressure switch.
