Outdoor Wireless Siren with Built-in
Strobe Light
Installation Manual
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 fast response to alarm signals within four seconds.
With normal use, the SR230 will function 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.
