We're here to help!
This Quick Start Guide will help you avoid three common installation mistakes:
1. Improper location of transmitting (TX) antenna. A temporary install of the system controller
is recommended.
Don't drill holes for permanent installation and mounting until the system is working correctly.
2. Improper system controller start-up. A successful transmission is indicated by a TX in the
lower right-hand corner of the system controller screen.
Don't locate the campus TX antenna within 4' of the system controller.
3. Improper clock start-up. Activate clocks in their intended location.
Don't activate the clocks in one room and move them to another location as signal reception
will not be veried. Make sure the system controller is transmitting and is not in Quiet Mode.
Important Note: Clocks should be installed within 24 hours of installing the system controller. After
24 hours, the system controller will enter Quiet Mode. Pressing 3-5-7 on the keypad will disable Quiet
Mode for 6 hours. Reference Appendix J in the SiteSync IQ Installation and Operation Manual for
more details on Quiet Mode.
