Safety Precautions
To prevent electrical shock, do not apply electrical power to the tone generator, signal relays or any other
equipment before completing all wiring connections.
When using additional equipment such as an AllSync Master or SiteSync IQ System Controller, refer to the
appropriate manual and instruction documentation before attempting setup.
For Masters/Signal Programmers and System Controllers
To protect against shorts between power and signal circuits, all wires connected to the power and signal
circuit terminals must be insulated to 300vac.
Relay contact voltage must not exceed 220vac to prevent damage.

Operation
The audio input and output can be added to any amplier, intercom or paging system. The unit can
send one of the preselected tones or background music supplied by another music source.
The tone generator has eight distinct tones which can be triggered by closing a wired connection
between the C (Tone Selection Common) and the proper T1, T2, T3 and T4 combination located on
the terminal block. The Tone Selection Table (see below) lists which T1 through T4 combinations are
needed for each desired tone.
The Power, Audio Input and Audio Outputs are also connected and labeled on the terminal block.
Apply a contact closure from T1, T2, T3 or T4 to C from
a time switch, master clock or push button control.
Apply jumpers to the T1, T2, T3 or T4 terminals as
required for additional tones. See the Tone Selection
Table below.
Speaker output (optional)
Connect the background audio from existing system to
the Audio In. Connect the Audio Out to the input of the
existing system.

Operation
Use with SiteSync IQ®System Controllers
The tone generator can also be used in conjunction with the SiteSync IQ System Controller to schedule
the triggering of tones. This can be done by hardwiring the tone generator to the SiteSync IQ System
Controller or wirelessly through the SiteSync IQ transmitter.
The unit can be triggered by wiring the desired T1-T4 combinations to the NO terminal of one of the six
bell circuits located on the back of the SiteSync IQ system controller. The COM terminal of the system
controller bell circuit should then be connected to the C terminal (Tone Selection Common). The user
can now set up circuit events on the SiteSync IQ system controller which control when and how long
the desired tone is triggered off and on.
nNote: See the SiteSync IQ Wireless Installation Manual before installation. Also, verify that the
system controller you have has the bell circuit option.
