711C and controller amperage

I have a new and complex TZT3 setup with an integrated 711C autopilot.

If I leave the whole system ( 2 TZT16s, 2 transducers, AIS, Sirius, Radar in standby, agusion integration ) active , engine off, not on shore power - I run down my house 8D battery below 10V in about 5-6 hours and stuff starts shutting down.

If I shut off the 711C and one TZT3 with a DI-FFAMP - after the same 5-6 hours my house is down to 11.8 or 11.9 volts and I have no issues.

Question - how much amperage is a 711C, controller, helm pump and rudder feedback unit in standby draining as the boat swings on anchor?
 
I just checked our unit and it is less than one amp. The pump does nothing if you are in standby.
