Why Does Atwood 36681 Carbon Monoxide / Propane Leak Detector Have Two Power Wires
Question:
Are the 2 12V red wire can be attach it to a same 12V source? And a black is the ground. What are the different between the 2 red wires? 1 feeds the detector and 1 feeds the meterinch inside to detect the voltage ?

The two red wires of the Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector # AT36681 are designed for powering the unit. The reason there are two wires is so that in the event one battery fails there's a backup in place so that it'll still function. If you ran both to the same battery the unit would function but it would not have that fail-safe mechanism in place.
