When is your Propane Sniffer powered up?
Seahorse has two sensors. The one in the ER bilge is always on, regardless of
the battery switch position. When laying up, I open the case and pull a
jumper off in order to disable it. The one on the stove is powered on via the
same
switch that energizes the solenoid. Leaving the sniffer on while the charger
is operation should do no harm, but why would you?

"Seahorse"
All the time i.e the same as the bilge pump?
Only when you are on board?
Only when you are using propane?
On my recently acquired boat the only propane appliance is a stove. A
breaker on the DC distribution feeds the sniffer and panel with a switch
to control the valve at the tank. It appears from tracing the wiring the
only function of the sniffer is to sound an alarm. The switch on the panel
will control the tank valve regardless what the sniffer is doing.
The literature indicates the sniffer draws 165 ma. Will this affect the
operation of the TruCharge when the boat is unattented?
Thanks
