Introduction  

The S3250 Receiver recognizes alarm, status, and control 
transmissions from up to 96 transmitters operating at 345 MHz.   
 
One or more individually identified receivers can be installed in a 
security system, since multiple receivers can provide redundant 
coverage or extend coverage in large areas.  The S3250 receiver 
features a Spatial Diversity System that virtually eliminates the 
possibility of "nulls" and "dead spots" within the coverage area.

 

Mounting location 

Mount the receiver so that it is centrally located to provide 
adequate range for the desired applications – the nominal range is 
200 feet (60m) for fixed transmitters and  somewhat less for keyfob 
transmitters.  

Do not installed device in an area subject to 

environmental extremes below 32°F/0°C or above 122° F/50°C.

 

 
To avoid a reduction in range, do not mount the receiver within 3 
feet (1m) of the panel.  You may mount the receiver up to 220 feet 
(67m) from the panel if you are using 22 AWG wire or up to 550 
feet (168m) away if you are using 18 AWG wire.  

 Because site 

conditions can affect signal reception, always test the 
receiver before permanently mounting it.  

 

Mounting procedure   

To mount the receiver, do the following: 

 

 

1. 

Remove the receiver's cover by inserting and twisting a 
flathead screwdriver blade in the slot at the center of the 
cover's lower edge. 

 

2. 

If concealed wiring is to be used for the receiver,  route it 
through the rectangular opening at the rear of the base before 
mounting. (For surface wiring entry, a thin breakaway area is 
provided along the base's right edge.)  

 
3. 

Mount the receiver in the selected location. For greatest 
security, use all four mounting holes (two keyslot holes and 
two round holes) provided in the plastic base. 

 
4. 

Install the antennas in the right-hand terminals of the two 
terminal blocks at the upper edge of the circuit board, one into 
each block’s right-hand terminal, and tighten the screws to 
secure them.   

Avoid mounting the receiver antennas 

against a metal surface.

Wire Relay and Switched 12v/100mA Output  

The receiver has a 24 V, 0.5 A (form A) reed relay, and a transistor 
switched 12v/100mA output, for control of external devices. 
 
Wire the relay terminals in the same manner that you would 
connect a normally-open switch.   Wire the 12v/100mA switched 
output as required; AUX is the +12v output and C is the return.   
 
The default programming of the relay and aux output is listed in the 
panel’s installation instructions.  

Programming (Brink’s panels only)  

The procedure to program the receiver is summarized below.  

 

1. 

Install the receiver and wireless devices. 

 Install the 

system's wireless transmitters, as described in the panel's 
installation and setup guide and the transmitter's 
installation instructions. 

 

2. 

Learn the Receiver.  

In Programming Mode, select 

Learn Devices

 (Option 2 of the Home Menu).  Wait for 

the panel to identify and

 

number the system’s devices.  

 

Notes: 

x

The receiver can support up to 96  transmitters. 

x

The RF ACTIVITY LED located on the receiver's 
circuit board should be used as an indicator of strong 
local RF interference. If this LED is continuously 
illuminated, the receiver should be relocated.
