Important Safety Information 
 INSTALLATION 
An improperly installed 8188 Ceiling Speaker could fall from the ceiling 
and cause serious injury or death. The four screw mounting clamps will 
adequately support the speaker if the ceiling material is sufficiently 
strong. An optional T-bar mounting bracket (Algo 8188-TBR) is 
recommended for acoustic ceiling tile and may be required for 
compliance with local building code. A ¼-20 threaded insert nut on top 
of the speaker housing can accept an eye-bolt (not supplied) for chain 
or cable support and additional safety.  
Local building codes may require one or more additional safety 
measures, particularly in earthquake prone regions. 
 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION 
If used in an emergency communication application, the 8188 Ceiling 
Speaker should be routinely tested. SNMP supervision is recommended 
for assurance of proper operation. Contact Algo for other methods of 
operational assurance including the use of the integrated microphone 
for automated “sound to air” acoustic testing. 
  DRY INDOOR LOCATION ONLY 
The 8188 Ceiling Speaker is intended for indoor dry 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.   
No wiring connected to the 8188 Ceiling Speaker may leave the 
building perimeter without adequate lightning protection.
