<p>An electro-pneumatic transducer for controlling gas pressure is disclosed. The transducer includes a nozzle body and a valve housing interconnected therebetween by a nozzle and a solenoid assembly including a magnetized valve assembly and a solenoid having a top portion and a bottom portion, which when energized generate a magnetic field having a predetermined polarity in response to which the magnetized valve assembly is actuated to control gas flow through the nozzle. The transducer also includes a control circuit adapted to receive an input signal. The control circuit is configured to energize the solenoid in response to the input signal to generate the magnetic field thereabout to actuate the valve assembly. The transducer further includes a capacitor coupled to the control circuit, wherein upon loss of the input signal, the control circuit signals the capacitor to provide an electrical signal to the solenoid to actuate the valve assembly.</p>
