    If the product is installed beyond the building perimeter or used in an inter-building application, the wiring connections must be protected against overvoltage/transient. Algo recommends that this product is installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Page 5 Contact Algo for other methods of operational assurance. DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY The 8180 SIP Audio Alerter (G2) is intended for dry indoor locations only. For outdoor locations Algo offers weatherproof speakers and strobe lights. CAT5 or CAT6 connection wiring to an IEEE 802.3af compliant network PoE switch must not leave the building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.

    Communication Server (hosted/cloud or premise) that supports 3rd party SIP endpoints or multicast. For loud ringing, the 8180 is assigned a Ring extension. When this SIP extension is called the 8180 will play a WAV file (tone, announcement, etc.) over the speaker. Several ringtones are included in the 8180 and custom WAV files may also be uploaded (e.g.

  • Page 7: Key Features

    If the PAGE extension is called, the 8180 will answer and allow paging over its internal speaker. When the 8180 answers it will play a configurable tone to the caller so they know when they can begin speaking. The same tone is also played over the speaker before the announcement.
  • Page 8 Input/Outputs for External Equipment and Devices The 8180 has a speaker output, an audio output, and dry contact relay that can be set as input or output. The outputs can be paired with an external speaker, a slave amplifier, or a visual Alerter (Algo 1127) to enhance notification and alert capabilities.
