Two Buttons. Four Configurable Actions.

The Algo 1212 Dual Button is a smart relay accessory designed to connect with compatible Algo IP endpoints.

Each button supports both a standard press and a long press, providing up to four independently configurable actions.

This allows separate operational communication and emergency workflows to be implemented from one compact, supervised device.

Two Configurable Buttons Independently configurable physical controls.
Four Actions Press and long-press actions on both buttons.
Smart Relay Connects through a compatible Algo IP endpoint.
ADMP Compatible Supports centralized device status visibility.
Key Features

Smart Control Without a Dedicated Network Port

The 1212 extends the functionality of a compatible Algo IP endpoint while avoiding the need for a separate network-connected button device.

01

Smart Relay Integration

Connect the 1212 to a compatible Algo IP endpoint through the smart relay interface.

02

Two Independent Buttons

Each button can be independently configured for a different communication or alert workflow.

03

Four Configurable Actions

Use press and long-press actions on both buttons for up to four configurable responses.

04

Multi-Color Illumination

Configurable LED illumination and flash patterns provide clear visual status feedback.

05

Selectable Labels

Faceplate labels help identify buttons by location, workflow, language or response type.

06

Protective Covers

Optional protective covers can help reduce accidental button activation.

Flexible Activation

Four Configurable Actions From Two Buttons

Each physical button supports separate press and long-press behavior, giving system designers greater workflow flexibility.

BUTTON 01 — PRESS

Operational Call

Configure a standard press to initiate a routine communication or assistance workflow.

BUTTON 01 — LONG PRESS

Emergency Workflow

A long press can be configured for a separate emergency or escalation workflow.

BUTTON 02 — PRESS

Assistance Request

Use the second button for a dedicated communication or assistance function.

BUTTON 02 — LONG PRESS

Alert / Escalation

Configure an additional long-press action for another response or escalation workflow.

Smart Relay Architecture

Supervised Through the Host Algo Endpoint

The 1212 receives power and supervision through the connected compatible Algo IP endpoint rather than requiring its own dedicated network connection.

Efficient Endpoint Integration

The smart relay architecture allows two configurable buttons to become part of an existing Algo communication infrastructure.

Because the 1212 does not require a dedicated network connection, it can avoid consuming another network port or requiring a fully network-connected device.

Powered by Host Endpoint Power is supplied by the connected Algo IP endpoint.
Supervised Button status can be monitored through the host endpoint's status interface.
No Dedicated Network Port The accessory connects through the host endpoint instead of requiring its own network port.

Visual Feedback

Confirm Button Status at a Glance

Configurable multi-color illumination and flash patterns help users identify button status and confirm when a press has been detected.

The LED ring provides visual feedback that can help users understand when a communication or alert workflow has been initiated.

Important Safety Information

Dry indoor location only: The Algo 1212 is intended for dry indoor locations.

Wiring connected to the 1212 should not leave the building perimeter without appropriate lightning protection.

The 1212 is not intended to function as a standalone life-safety or mass-notification system. It should be evaluated as part of a broader communication or alerting solution.

Operation can depend on network availability, power continuity, configuration and associated hardware, software and services.
