I reversed engineered my CCI 7719 when it failed and made the necessary repair. The CCI solenoid coil is NOT 12 volt. It is a 9 volt coil. The valve is snapped open with 12 volts and maintained with 2 volts.
As already noted, if you have a propane leak while away from your RV, the system will shut off the propane, which would keep the water heater or refrigerator flame from starting a fire in case of a leak. I consider that added safety.

They went out of business in 2008?. BUT, OEM's (the majority that did install) stopped in the late 90's. Customer complaints? I have 43 years as a RV tech(mainly motorized) 1979 to current. WHO would be better to state customer complaints? YOU or ME? I had to listen to people upset that their LP system shut down and caused problems with refers and all LP appliances. AS I stated, SHOW evidence of the supposed added safety with such a system. YES, such a system would be a nice feature, but due to the system unreliability, they were discontinued. Doug

Fleetwood and Monaco continued to use the CCI detector until CCI went out of business. I consider them OEMs. I reversed engineered the detector when CCI went out of business and went into the repair business (ccirepairs@gmail.com). The major reliability issue was AGE, which all detectors do. So how does one condemn a product that ages out just like it's competitors? It was a very well engineered product that only consumed 0.168 milliamps, when turned on. The sniffer failed, just like other detector products.
Oh, BTW there is a new owner of CCIrepairs, just in case you need one repaired.
