Battery tie solenoid

[Gardner Yeaw]

I have read the previous entries on this subject, but have one
question. Should the solenoid(s) be energised when the gen. starter
switch is pressed, or is there another method of energizing them?

In my 78F#33 I disconnected all the batteries, then reconnect the
generator battery. I hear the solenoid energize when the cable is
connected. This doesn't seem right as it will put a constant drain on
the battery. I still need to do some investigation, testing, to
determine if the power is fed back to the coach batteries, but I
thought I would start here, wiht a question.

Thanks
