The Det-16 panel should be tested periodically per the local codes.
It is recommended that at a minimum, the panel should be visited at least once a year to
confirm its proper operation which would include:
Confirming the display and leds are all functioning.
Confirming all wire connections are proper and tight.
Test each of the input circuits and confirming the proper box number is programmed
for each input.
The panel is locked and secured properly.
No other maintenance is required.

Battery Maintenance and Replacement
The Det-16 is shipped with a 12 volt, 7.5 Amp Hour sealed Lead Acid battery, Digitize PN
900414-0004. The charging circuit of the Det-16 was designed to work specifically with this
type of battery.
Important!! Never connect any other type of battery to the Det-16 panel.
Expected life of the Det-16 batteries can be as long as five years. The life of a battery is
dependant on a number of criteria which include but are not limited to:
The temperature where the battery is located.
The number of times the battery has discharged then been recharged.
Whether the battery was allowed to completely discharge (deep discharge) and how
long it was allowed to remain that way before it is recharged.
Whether the battery was ever overcharged.
Digitize recommends that the batteries be replaced every four years.
Batteries should be tested per the battery manufacturer’s specification to confirm that it has
sufficient capacity to operate the Det-16 for a minimum of 60 hours of Standby.
