Important Safety Information
The 8128 Strobe is NOT INTENDED FOR FIRE ALARM
SIGNALLING APPLICATIONS.
The 8128 Strobe is intended for informative signaling in conjunction
with unified communication systems. The 8128 Strobe is suitable for
OSHA and ADA compliance when properly located and configured.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY at the 8128 Strobe while operating
in close proximity as vision may be affected. The LEDs in the 8128
Strobe are classified according to the IEC 62471-2006 standard as
"RG-2" for risk group 2. This is defined as "Moderate risk. Does not
pose a hazard due to aversion response to bright light or thermal
discomfort".
PHOTO-SENSITIVITY in some people with epilepsy can trigger
seizures from flashing or flickering lights. It is possible that some flash
patterns of the 8128 Strobe could trigger a seizure for some individuals
under some conditions. High intensity patterns should only be selected if
necessary for the 8128 Strobe to be effective.
Wet or Outdoor Environments
The 8128 LED Strobe is intended for indoor or outdoor locations and
may be subjected to spray or weather provided the rear wiring cavity
is properly sealed to prevent water ingress.
Gaskets included with the 8128 LED Strobe may be effective against
water ingress on some, but not all surfaces in which case additional
protective measures must be taken such as a perimeter sealant.
CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE 802.3af compliant
network PoE switch must not leave the building perimeter
without adequate lightning protection.
Relay input and output connections must not leave the building
perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

About the 8128 Strobe
The 8128 Strobe flash intensity can be chosen to suit the application and
environment. There are non-flashing patterns for passive, gentle
notification, and aggressive patterns for maximum conspicuity in busy
environments
The 8128 Strobe is typically wall or ceiling mounted. The eight efficient and
powerful LEDs cast light 360 x 180 degrees with some light illuminating the
surface surrounding the 8128 Strobe for additional visibility. Light output is
equally intense in every direction unless a directional pattern is chosen.
The 8128 Strobe can be activated by:
SIP Ring
SIP Message Waiting
SIP In-Use (Subscribe Notify)
Dry contact closure input
Multicasting
If multiple 8128 Strobes are required, the multicasting feature requires
only one of the 8128 Strobes to be activated by an input. The activated
8128 Strobe can simultaneously multicast as a master to activate the other
8128 Strobes configured as slaves.
The 8128 Strobe is configured from its web interface using a browser such
as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer (other than IE 9).
Common Applications
Telephone ring notification in noisy environments
Silent ring notification in quiet environments
Call center ACD queue threshold alert (by ringing)
In-use (off-hook, on-air) notification for co-workers
Message waiting notification
OSHA safety compliance
ADA compliance
Door open visual alarm
Voice paging pre-announce
Security notification

Quick Start
1. Connect the 8128 Strobe to a 802.3af PoE network using the RJ45
jack in the back recess of the housing.
2. Allow the 8128 Strobe time to boot, about 30 seconds. During boot
up the Strobe will turn on each LED individually as a test and then all
on at low intensity until booting is completed.
3. If there is no DHCP server found the 8128 Strobe will default to the
static IP address 192.168.1.111. Most often however the 8128
Strobe will be assigned an IP address. To determine the IP address
for the 8128 Strobe download the Algo locator tool to find Algo
devices on your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator
4. Access the 8128 Strobe web page by entering the IP address into a
browser and login using algo as the default password.
5. Enter the IP address for the SIP server into the SIP Domain field
under the BASIC SETTINGS - SIP tab.
6. Enter the SIP extension and password information.
7. Test by dialing the SIP extension for the Strobe . The Strobe should
flash in response to ring (the 8128 Strobe will not answer a ring
event).
Installation & Mounting
The 8128 Strobe can be wall or ceiling mounted. Concealed wiring may
enter from the wall into the wiring cavity. Alternatively, surface wiring may
enter through a channel from the bottom edge. The channel is intended for
cabling 0.2" or 5mm in diameter and is intentionally snug to protect against
moisture ingress.
The 8128 Strobe can be mounted in any orientation but both the bracket
and housing identify TOP. This keeps the bracket wiring channel on the
bottom and the RJ45 jack on the top side.

The mounting plate may be used to mount over flush or surface mounted
electrical boxes or mud rings and fits securely to a 2 gang electrical box for
installation with wiring conduit.
The 8128 Strobe is rated IP65 for wet locations however care must be
taken to ensure that water does not enter the wiring cavity. The supplied
gaskets or sealant must be used to protect the wiring cavity in wet
environments. In dry indoor environments the gaskets are not required. If
the wall gasket is used with surface wiring then the gasket should be
attached after placing the cable into the wiring channel.
The 8128 Strobe should not be installed beyond a building perimeter
without adequately protecting the building wiring from lightning surge.

Wiring Connections
Network Connection
Connect RJ45 jack from PoE network switch or non-PoE network
and 48V 350 mA IEEE 802.3af compliant power injector.
Terminal Block Relay In
By default, shorting these terminals will cause the 8128 Strobe to
activate.
Terminal Block Relay Out
By default these terminals provide a contact closure when the
8128 Strobe is active.
Terminal Block Reset
Connecting these terminals prior to power up will cause a reboot to
factory default settings. Maintain the connection from power up
until the 8128 Strobe LEDs turn on. Then release the connection
which will cause the 8128 Strobe to reboot with default
configuration.
