Relay Input Mode
The input relay to the 8198(s) can be acticated by any normally open or normally closed
switch. Algo offers the 1202 Call Button, the 1203 Call Switch, or the 1204 Volume
Control Switch. Via supervision settings, notification actions can also be triggered if the
input switch is disconnected.
1203 Call Switch
Mute Switch
Apply an external switch (short-circuit) across the Relay Input terminals in order to mute
the speaker connected to the 8198. This allows a temporary "disable" switch to control
the device if desired, for example in a boardroom to block paging during important
meetings.
Leave the Relay Input terminals open (no-connect) for regular full-volume operation
when in this mode.
1202 Call Button
While the 8198 can be configured to play the WAV file only once, it can also be enabled
to play it continuously with just one touch on the 1202 Call Button. The action can then
be stopped via the smaller oval cancel button located below the main call button on the
1202 Call Button.
1204 Volume Control Switch
Algo's 1204 can be used for variable volume control. The maximum volume should still
be set in the Basic Settings > Features tab as usual, and then the Volume Control
Switch will allow attenuation below this level. Enabling Priority Multicast Override allows
priority multicast to override the volume set by the Volume Control Switch. Enabling

The 1203 Call Switch is a simple contact closure switch with
an illuminated button and supervision capabilities. When used
in conjunction with the 8198, the 1203 can prompt a single
action with one-touch, or a continuous action if the button is
held.
The 1202 Call Button is a one-touch button for event
notification and response. It can be used with the 8198 for
improved customer service, emergency notification, and non-
emergency alerting. The Call Button's one-touch button can
trigger a single or continuous action, which can be halted via
the small cancel/reset button located below the main call
button.
The 1204 Volume Control Switch is a simple 2 terminal
potentiometer that will allow attenuation below the max
volume level (configured under 'Basic Settings > Features')
