Operation Controller
Installation
Introduction
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
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
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.

B* Slow Whoop
C* Siren
D* Mechanical Bell
E Klaxon
F Night Ringer
G Double Chime
H Doorbell
nNote: 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.
Clock
Clock relays are located on the far right side of the block of 14 screw terminals (#14) inside the wiring panel. (See Appendix B for
