If the offboard system still has the pressure switch in it, then it won't over-pressurize, so I don't see the issue.
Using the robot battery and onboard control system doesn't change anything. That's the point. You're required to follow all of the pneumatic and electrical rules in the manual. The special permission to have the compressor offboard doesn't give you liberty to violate any of the other rules.

The issue is that robot inspectors need to be able to verify that everything is good. They should not be tasked with inspecting non-robot equipment such as a separate source of compressed air.
