The SMVS Control panel is the main connection point for all the system wiring and
communicates the information to the SMVS Display Panel for the operator to view system
status. The control panel is mounted next to the SMVS agent cylinder. It ships with
a standard 9V alkaline battery that provides one hour of battery backup when main vehicle power is removed. The 9V alkaline battery is replaced any time the system has been powered by the back up battery, yearly, or more frequently as needed.
