Aqualarm low flow and muffler sensors for R21-EC

[baz]

For those with the Volvo Penta D1-30 engine along with its push button engine Start/Off panel I'm trying to figure out how to connect up the Aqualarm correctly so that it only gets electrical power when the engine is switched on.

What have others with this Volvo engine done in this regards ? Thanks.

Tuggin Aweigh is a 2014 R27 with a Volvo Penta D3. I've purchased an aqualarm low flow sensor. Has anyone wired it to be energized when the engine is started?. I don't want to "re-invent the wheel" nor hook up wires on a trial and error basis. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't have that set up, but you will need to use your VOM with test leads to figure out WHICH terminals are energized when the engine is 'running.' That's how I did it with my little Yanmar. Unscrew the switch assembly, pull it out, test each terminal. Determine which ones are neg; turn on the engine or ignition switch to 'run' (your Volvo lacks this?), then retest to find the terminal which becomes energized - and - voile your all set! ...hopefully

no key-uses a FOB and a press of the start button. 😉
