A power switch (#1) is located on the left side of the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller. When power is connected and the power
switch is in the on position the power LED (#2) located in the top right corner of the front panel will light red.
WARNING
The power switch only removes power to the internal circuitry of the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller. If performing
Troubleshooting
maintenance within the wiring panel located at the bottom of the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller, power should be
removed prior to service.
Bell Relays
The SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller can be thought of as an extension to the SiteSync IQ System Controller wired relays. When
the SiteSync IQ System Controller activates its on-board wired relays, it also sends out a message to activate the SiteSync
IQ Wireless Controller relays. Each wired relay on the System Controller corresponds to the same wired relay on the Wireless
Appendix
Controller: i.e. Bell one on the system controller corresponds to bell one on the wireless controller; Bell two corresponds to bell
two, and so on.
Each Wireless Controller bell relay comes equipped with a three position switch (#3). These switches allow the user to manually
operate each circuit, turn them off or allow automatic control from the SiteSync IQ System Controller via wireless signals.
The bell relays on the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller can be manually activated by moving the corresponding switch to the top
(On or Test) position. A red LED will light indicating that the relay is currently active.
To disable a relay simply place the corresponding switch in the center position. The LEDs above and below the relay switch will
turn off when the corresponding switch is in the OFF position.
Automatic bell relay operation is achieved by placing the corresponding switch in the down (Auto) position. In this position the
SiteSync IQ System Controller has complete control of the bell relay. A yellow LED will light indicating the relay is ready for a
message from the System Controller. A red LED will light indicating the relay is active.

n
Note: Power should be disconnected and off before making any jumper selections.
Tone Selection
The Tone card (#5) installed on the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller provides a menu of eight tones of which four can be selected
to be triggered from the SiteSync IQ System Controller. Place up to four jumper shunts at the lettered positions (see above) that
correspond to the desired tones (use Tone Selection Table above). The tones will be assigned to the trigger terminals in the order
they fall into from A to H where the rst tone selected on the way from A to H is assigned to SiteSync IQ System Controller circuit
1, the next tone selected is assigned to circuit 2, and so on. If more than four tones are selected via jumpers, only the rst four
(from A to H) are assigned to the SiteSync IQ System Controller circuits 1 through 4. If less than four tones are selected, then only
the circuits needed to correspond to the number of tones will be operational.

for 120vac between terminals H and N.
• Disconnect power and remove the front panel. Check power input fuse (F2) and replace if necessary.
Secondary Clocks not synchronized with System Controller
• If system controller time was recently changed, allow up to 24 hours for secondary clocks to re-synchronize to the
system controller.
• Make sure there is sufcient voltage across each secondary clock.
• If fewer than 25 secondary AllSync clocks are connected to the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller, the secondary clocks might
not recognize the correction from the SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller. Connect all intended clocks and allow time for the
normal SiteSync IQ Wireless Controller correction. If secondary clocks still have not corrected, you may need to disable surge
suppression circuitry (set surge switches S7 and S8 to the OFF position to disable surge suppression circuitry).
• Check for signal reception at installation location. Contact American Time Technical Support or reference the SiteSync IQ Site
Survey instructions.
