Important Safety Information
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light is NOT INTENDED FOR FIRE
ALARM SIGNALLING APPLICATIONS.
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light is intended for informative signaling in
conjunction with unified communication systems. The 8128 Strobe
Light is suitable for OSHA and ADA compliance when properly located
and configured.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY at the 8128 SIP Strobe Light while
operating in close proximity, as vision may be affected. The LEDs in
the 8128 light 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 SIP Strobe Light could trigger a
seizure for some individuals under some conditions. High intensity
patterns should only be selected if necessary for the 8128 to be
effective.
Wet or Outdoor Environments
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light 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 SIP Strobe Light 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 Algo 8128 SIP Strobe Light
The 8128 light is a SIP compliant, multicast capable, PoE strobe light.
The 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 is typically wall or ceiling mounted. The 360 x 180 visibility
and 16 available flash patterns makes the 8128 suitable for
notification and alerting of telephone, emergency, safety, and
security events. Light output is equally intense in every direction
unless a directional pattern is chosen.
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light can be activated by:
SIP Ring
SIP Message Waiting
SIP In-Use (Subscribe Notify)
Dry contact closure input
Multicasting
Multiple Algo endpoints in a SIP environment require only one device
to register as a SIP extension. Multicasting capabilities allow the SIP
registered strobe to flash and simultaneously stream multicast
events to the other Algo strobes, speakers and paging adapters in
any combination and number of endpoints.
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light is configured using central provisioning
features or by accessing a web interface using browsers such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.
What's Included
8128 SIP Strobe Light unit with clear lens
Mounting bracket
Gaskets
Colored lens cover (if color option ordered)

Getting Started –Quick Install & Test
This guide provides important safety information which should be
read thoroughly before permanently installing the strobe light.
1. Connect the 8128 SIP Strobe Light to a 802.3af PoE network using
the RJ45 jack in the back recess of the housing
2. Allow the 8128 SIP Strobe Light time to boot, about 30 seconds.
While booting, the Strobe will turn on all 8 LEDs momentarily and
then activate each LED one time as a test pattern. All LED’s will then
remain on in a dim pattern until boot up is complete.
3. If there is no DHCP server found the 8128 SIP Strobe Light will
default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111. Most often however
the 8128 will be assigned an IP address. To determine the IP address
for the 8128 download the Algo locator tool to find Algo devices on
your network: www.algosolutions.com/locator
4. Access the 8128 SIP Strobe Light web page by entering the IP
address into a browser.
5. Enter the IP address for the SIP server
6. Enter the relevant SIP extension and password information
7. Test by dialing the SIP extension. The 8128 SIP Strobe Light should
flash in response to ring. (The 8128 will not answer a ring event)

Installation & Mounting
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light 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 can be mounted in any orientation but both the bracket and
housing identify TOP. This keeps the bracket wiring chase 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 (not
included) for installation with wiring conduit.
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light 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 should not be installed beyond a building perimeter without
adequately protecting the building wiring from lightning surge.

Web Interface
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light is configurable using the web interface or
provisioning features.
After boot up the strobe light will turn off and the device will have
obtained an IP address. If there is no DHCP server the 8128 will
default to the static IP address 192.168.1.111.
The IP address may be discovered by downloading the Algo locator
tool to find Algo devices on your network:
www.algosolutions.com/locator
Enter the IP address (eg 192.168.1.111) into a browser such as
Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer (other than IE9). The
web interface should be visible and the default password will be algo
in lower case letters.

Multicast Overview
The 8128 SIP Strobe Light is able to send or receive IP multicast
messages over the network.
Without multicast, multiple 8128 lights would all require their own
SIP extensions and then be added to a hunt group or ring group for
simultaneous activation.
Multicasting offers an alternative that requires only one SIP extension
and reduces network traffic. The first 8128 SIP Strobe Light deployed
can be configured as a multicast Master, so that whatever flash
pattern is selected is also broadcast to the network using a multicast
IP address. All of the other 8128 SIP Strobe Lights are configured as
multicast Slaves and will activate in response to the multicast
message. Please note that any number and combination of Algo
speakers, paging adapters and strobes can be part of a multicast.
The Slave 8128 SIP Strobe Lights require a PoE network connection
but do not require registration to the SIP server.
