SR250 Wireless Siren w/Built-In Strobe Light
Introduction
The SR250 is a weatherproof, stand-alone, fully supervised outdoor
wireless siren with built-in strobe light and wireless transceiver. The SR250
uses 2-way wireless communication, which provides continuous
supervision between the panel and siren with fast response to alarm
signals within four seconds. With its tough weatherproof construction, the
SR250 operates reliably from -30 ºC to 50 ºC (-22 ºF to 122 ºF) when using
alkaline batteries or power supply.
With normal use, the SR250 will function up to 3 years without the need to
replace the batteries (battery life can be extended by using an optional AC
or DC power supply). This guide describes how to install and configure the
SR250 wireless siren.

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

of the SR250 for later reference, to insert into the Paradox BabyWare
software.
2. Loosen the four screws from the cover from the siren and remove
cover.
3. Loosen the four screws from the PCB cover and remove.
4. Screw the SR250 siren onto the wall through the five provided holes
(four wall and one Tamper Spacer).
5. Ensure that the Tamper switch is screwed onto the wall through the
Tamper Spacer.
6. 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 to replace the battery every three years to
avoid leakage.
7. After programming the siren (see Programming section): Reinstall the
PCB cover.
8. Reinstall the top cover.
