e. While not ideal, skylights or windowsills are
possible locations. Avoid installation behind Low-
Emissivity (Low-E) glass as the GPS signal has
diculty penetrating such glass.
vAntenna Installation
a. Installation on included mounting bracket
1. Allows for mounting on the side of a building
or other structure.
2. It is recommended not to mount where there is
excessive roof overhang.
b. Installation if using a mast
■Note: If using a mast, it must be grounded.
1. If using a mast, it should be made from 1 inch
schedule 40 pipe, or any rigid tubing or
conduit with an outside diameter of 1.5 inch or
less.
2. Use the U-bolt, hex nuts & lock washers
supplied to x the mounting bracket to the mast.
wConnect cables to System Programmer
a. Connect GPS receiver cable to PREM GPS RS-422
port.
■Note: 50 ft. extension cables, Part #H000818, can be added
between the cable provided and the System Controller. The
cable provided with the kit should always be installed to the GPS
antenna pigtail. The total length of all cables should not exceed
1500 ft., (up to 30 standard extension cables).

Programming Events (Keypad Interface)
Wired Signal Circuit Option
The SiteSync IQ System Controller contains 6 integrated signal relays. When congured, the Wired Signal Circuit Option allows the
System Controller to be used for operating bells, tone generators, lighting circuits and other electrical equipment.
■Note: System Controllers with the Ethernet option can also be programmed via the Remote Connect web interface (see page 31).
Denitions:
An Event is programmed into the System Controller with time and date information, as well as a duration or a start/stop command.
For example, Event 0001 may be programmed to execute every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 am for 3 seconds.
Each event is assigned to a Schedule. The SiteSync IQ System Controller can store up to 9,999 events. The event duration is
programmable from 1 to 9 seconds and also allows for ON or OFF commands. Normal events are recurring weekday events. A Special
Event contains date information that is not specic to weekdays. For example, you can set a special event for the 4th day of every
month, the 4th day of every January or the 4th day of January in a specic year. You can also set a special event for every Thursday
in January or every Thursday in a specic year.
A Schedule is a group of events. For example, a school might program Schedule 01 with 4 events for their morning Elementary recess
schedule. The SiteSync IQ System Controller allows for 99 unique schedules, with any number of events in each (up to a maximum
total of 9,999 events). Schedules, with groups of events, are assigned to Circuits.
A Circuit is dened as one of the 6 relay outputs on the SiteSync IQ System Controller. Each circuit can be assigned one schedule at
a time. For example, Schedule 01 with 4 events might be assigned to Circuit 1 and Schedule 03 with 10 events might be assigned to
Circuit 2.

Programming Signal Circuits (Keypad Interface)
Optional signal relays for controlling signal or lighting circuits must be assigned to schedules of events for automatic control. Multiple
circuits can be assigned to one schedule, but each signal circuit can be assigned to only one schedule.
Each signal circuit is also programmed with a default event duration. This allows dierent signal circuits assigned to the same schedule to
be activated for dierent lengths of time for the same event. For example, a school may have circuit 1 connected to the elementary bells and
wish to ring those for 3 seconds. It may have circuit 2 connected to the middle school bells and wish to ring those for 5 seconds. The same
events can be assigned to a single schedule but will have dierent durations on dierent circuits when using circuit duration defaults. This
default duration can be overridden by the duration specied for an event (described in the Programming Events section).
■Note: System Controllers with the Ethernet option can also be programmed via the Remote Connect web interface (see page 31).

Introduction
The Remote Connect Web Interface allows remote access to your SiteSync IQ system controller via a web browser. This includes Event
and Circuit programming, manual circuit activation, time/date settings and other system congurations.
This feature is available to all SiteSync IQ System Controllers with the Ethernet option.
Note: Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 Update 7 will need to be installed to run the Events Applet.
–This can also be downloaded at http://www.java.com/en/
–Ensure that you have the most current web browser (ie. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome)
To access Remote Connect:
1. Ensure that the SiteSync IQ System Controller installation has been performed (page 6) and that the Ethernet option has been
congured (pages 18-19)
2. Open a web browser. Enter the IP address for your system controller (#4 on page 18) as http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or ssiq plus last
six digits of MAC address if DHCP is Enabled in the web browser’s Address eld (Figure 1). Press the Enter key.
or
Figure 1
■Note: If using DHCP Host Name, the network or computer connected to the system controller for conguration must be on the same
Subnet for Host Name to work properly.
■Note: If the Remote Transmitter is on a network without a DHCP server, the default address of the Remote Transmitter will be
192.168.10.10. In this situation, directly connect an Ethernet patch cable from the Remote Transmitter to a computer that is on the same
Subnet. Example: Set the connecting computer IP address to 192.168.10.11. See your Network Administrator if you do not know how to
do this.
3. A User Login window, (Figure 2) will appear. There are two available user names, uclock and sclock, which represent the user
and service access levels. The user security level allows access to everything but the Conguration Tab.
User Level Access:
Enter uclock in lowercase letters in the User Name eld and uclock in the Password eld. This is a user login which will allow
access to time/date and event menus.
Service Level Access:
Enter sclock in lowercase letters in the User Name eld and sclock in the Password eld. This is a service login which will
allow access to all menus.
**Passwords may be changed in the Conguration Tab.
Then, click the Login button.
Figure 2
4. The Remote Connect utility will appear with the General tab selected. The tabs displayed may dier depending on the

For circuits congured for ON/OFF operation:
If the default duration for a circuit being activated with the MAN function is currently congured to ON or OFF (in the Circuit Durations
Menu) the circuit will toggle states when pressing the MAN key. This feature can be used to turn on lights after a power outage. For example,
parking lot lighting is set up on Circuit 6 with a continuous ON event at 10:00pm, and an OFF event at 6:00am. The power goes out due to
a thunderstorm at 2:00am and comes back on at 3:00am. These parking lot lights will be o, since the unit was reset. To turn them back on
after 3:00am, you can activate circuit 6 via the MAN button, as described on the previous page. The lights will then stay on until the OFF
event at 6:00am.
Automatically switching assigned schedules for a circuit:
This feature allows for programming of a schedule change on any circuit. This
may be handy for setting a holiday schedule, for example:
To program an automatic schedule change:
1. Press P3, enter User Lock (if applicable), then press 1. The circuit
schedule assignments screen will display.
2. Press circuit (1-6) you wish to set automatic schedule change for.
3. Press Mbutton to enter a schedule change.
4. Option 1and 2are schedule replacements. This allows for reverting
back to the current schedule at a later date.
5. Select 1or 2. In this screen, use the <>keys to select the schedule
to change to. Press O.
6. In this screen, enter the date with the keypad. Press Oafter entry of each
eld to advance. For example, press Oafter entering the year to
advance to the month eld. AM/PM can be selected with the <>keys.
Press Owhen date and time have been entered.
7. Repeat these steps for another schedule change on this circuit. Choose
option 2if option 1was initially set or vice versa. These options will
occur chronologically by the date and time entered for each.
To see a programming example, see Appendix D.
