PARADOX SR230 Outdoor Wireless Siren with Built-in Strobe Light Installation Guide

SR230 Outdoor Wireless Siren with Built-in Strobe Light
Installation Guide

Introduction

The SR230 is a stand-alone, fully supervised outdoor wireless siren with built-in strobe light and wireless transceiver. The SR230 uses 2-way wireless communication, which provides continuous supervision between the panel and siren with a fast response to alarm signals within four seconds.
With normal use, the SR230 will function for up to three years without the need to replace the batteries. The SR230 operates using three 1.5 VDC size “C” alkaline batteries. This guide describes how to install and configure the SR230 wireless siren.

Installation

Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this equipment.

1. Write down the serial number (on the back of the unit) and location of the SR230 for later reference, to insert into the Paradox BabyWare software.

2. Remove the top cover from the siren.
   a. Open the lock at the bottom of the siren with a screwdriver.
   b. Pry the cover apart from the backplate starting from the bottom.
   

3. Screw the SR230 siren onto the wall through the four provided holes.

4. Screw the Tamper.
   IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Tamper switch is screwed onto the wall through the Tamper Spacer.

5. Batteries:
   a. If the siren already has batteries installed:
   • Remove the plastic tab between the top battery terminals and the battery compartment
   • Leave the cover off until you learn the siren
   b. If the siren does not have batteries installed:
   • Insert the batteries; ensure correct polarity
   • Leave the cover off until you learn the siren
   Note: We recommend replacing the batteries every three years to avoid leakage.

6. Reinstall the top cover and lock.

Programming with BabyWare 1. Open BabyWare > Connect your Account. 2. In the Main window: Select the Add Item button > Wireless Sirens. 3. Fill-in the SR230 label, location and serial number. 4. Select Save.

Upgrading Firmware
Upgrade SR230 firmware through the Paradox InField software (V5.5.9 or higher) using the 307 USB Direct Connect Interface. The SR230 requires the batteries installed in order to upgrade the firmware.
Note: Ensure that the SR230 is awake before beginning the firmware upgrade. To wake-up the siren, press the learn switch (see #10 in Figure 1). The siren provides you a 60 second delay in order to begin the update.
1. Remove the front cover (see Figure 2). 2. Connect the 307 USB to the InField connector 3. Upgrade according to the firmware upgrade instructions: Go to
www.paradox.com > Software > InField Firmware Upgrade Instructions.

Tamper Supervision
If a tamper is detected, the SR230 sounds an alarm and the strobe light flashes for 4 minutes. The control panel follows the global supervision options set in the panel.
