• Internal clock accuracy of ±1 minutes per year (without synchronization)
• User selectable clock codes for controlling a wide range of clock types
• Two level password security
• Manual advance of impulse clock types
• Automatic Daylight Saving Time and Leap Year correction
• Programmable Custom and Automatic Daylight Saving Time
• Automatic time synchronization with Ethernet
• Remote setup and operation with web browser interface via Ethernet
Optional features include:
• Flexible control of 6 signal circuits and/or 1 set of clock circuits
• Manual control of signal circuits

Installation
Electrical Connections
120vac Supply Connections
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, do not apply electrical power to the master, clock relays or signal relays before
completing all wiring connections.
Connect the ungrounded (hot) wire to the H screw terminal, the neutral wire to the N terminal and the ground wire to
the terminal
Fuse
A 2.5A - 240vac subminiature (Little Fuse Inc. part #37412500410 recommended) protects the power input circuit.
Each clock and signal relay circuit must be current limited to 8A or less by an external circuit breaker or fuse.
Clock Connections
CAUTION
To prevent damage to relays, relay contact voltage must not exceed 240vac.
WARNING
To protect against shorts between power and signal circuits, all wires connected to the power, clock, and
signal circuit terminals must be insulated to 300vac.
Appendix I shows wiring connections to the master clock and the secondary clocks for all clock types controlled by
the AllSync IQ master.
Mounting Master Clock
The AllSync IQ master clock should be:
• Located indoors in a dry location
• Mounted upright on a vertical surface
• Protected from physical damage
• Protected from water, including condensation
• Out of direct sunlight
• Operated by trained personnel
An area at least 22" wide and 201/2" high should be reserved to allow a clearance of at least 12" below and on left
side of the AllSync IQ master. Wiring for power, clock and signal circuits must enter through conduit knockouts along
the bottom of the enclosure. Connector for Ethernet and power switch are are located on the left side of the enclosure.
The AllSync IQ master is designed to be wall-mounted by a keyhole hanger and screws. The Quick Start Guide shows
a template for locating wall hangers to mate with these openings.
