Hello, when I search the above I get this article:  Connecting The PA1 to Relays for Door Phone Applications  I am afraid that I need a little more information on how to connect a strobe to the PA1.  I use 3CX and have the PA1 connected to page over loudspeakers and that works great.  I need to have a strobe light flash whenever there is an announcement occurring because the environment is very loud.  If someone could point me to some instructions or recommend a particular strobe that would work, I would appreciate it.

    Hi,

    The PA1 has 4 output PINs that can, when activated, give out a tension of 3.3V, which can be used to activate an external device such as a door or a strobe.

    There is a description of the PA1's PINs in the pdf file https://service.snom.com/display/wiki/Others?preview=%2F17370178%2F17370182%2FPA1+Connector+Overview.pdf

    You would simply need to connect some cable from the PA1 to the device you want to activate when activating the PIN: just please remember that the 3.3V tension isn't usually enough to activate a strobe or any other device, as they would likely need a 5/12/24V input, so you may need something in between which accepts the 3.3V as input and leads to the output you need.

    We unfortunately do not have any recommendation for such a device or any strobe in the market.

    To activate a specific PIN when the PA1 receives a call you can follow the guide How to activate a PA1 PIN when the device receives a call

    Thank you
