Visual Alerting

A Duet Plus can provide a visual indication of 
ringing by the connection of an Algo 1126 Strobe 
or 1127 Visual Alerter to the SPKR terminals. 
Whenever the Duet Plus is activated, the strobe or 
alerter will activate. The most common application 
is for visual alerting in environments that are 
either exceptionally noisy or require noise-free 
alerting. 
When the Duet Plus warble had been activated the 
speaker output can be used to activate the strobe 
or visual alerter.
