You've reached this page because you were looking for the Easi-8 remote control, formerly made by Wit, Inc. The Easi-8 has been out of production since 2009 when the company making the product closed its doors. The support website has been inactive since 2010. For Easi-8 users seeking instructions on using the Easi-8, you can download the instruction manual here. We do not sell, service or support the Easi-8, nor do we have parts for it. The technical manual is here as a convenience to Easi-8 users, but we have no association with the former Wit, Inc or the defunct Easi-8 remote control.

If you're looking for a new remote control with Internet and telephone support, you may want to consider the CircuitWerkes Sicon-8. For a simple Internet only remote control, we also offer the SiteSentry2.
A special lite version of the main page is also available for mobile (PDA) based browsing. The PDA page gives you all of the basic metering, control and alarm handling in a simplified and compact format.




CircuitWerkes Sicon-8, Recordable, Talking Remote Control

(with Internet Web Server & Setup/Control software included)

Affordable power for every facility
The CircuitWerkes SiCon-8.

The Sicon-8 is a modestly-priced, but full-featured dial-up remote control with speech capability. Based on voice recording technology, the Sicon-8 can speak in your staff's language because you record your own messages.

The Sicon-8 was designed to be a complete solution for facilities with basic to moderate control requirements. All of the I/O, including 8 channels of relays, are included on the main board so there is no need to buy anything else to use the product. All metering, status and control connections are on depluggable screw terminals. An expander chassis, the SX-8, adds eight channels of metering, status & control to an existing Sicon-8. Up to three SX-8s may be added to a Sicon-8 for a maximum of 32 channels.

Designed to be controlled from the onboard Ethernet interface, any dial-up telephone, an auto-answer cell phone or its serial port, the Sicon-8 gives you the control options that you need. The onboard Web server gives access to all of the Sicon-8's metering, Status & basic control functions & supports several simultaneous users with 4 different access levels. The Web server requires no software other than a Java capable Web browser to operate and works on multiple operating systems and browsers. The dial-up control is based on proprietary voice recording technology that lets you record your own messages, in any language, and is smoother sounding than most other voice recording technologies.

Choosing the right remote control for your operation is a big decision. The wrong choice can be expensive in many ways. We've created a downloadable comparison template that you can use to compare our Sicon-8 to other brands. The PDF can be downloaded here.

The Sicon-8's Onboard Web-server:

The onboard Web server duplicates much of the Sicontroller software's control functions and runs on any Java capable browser.

As shown below, the Web server is designed to be uncomplicated and will run on multiple platforms and browsers, provided that they are Java capable. It even works on the iPhone's Safari browser. Meters are updated aproximately every two seconds and the Web server shows the current meter values, channel status and alarms.



The Sicon-8's Web server allows for 4 different access levels:
Reader - Can not operate any controls. All controls are hidden from readers.
Controller - Can operate any control on the main page but cannot perform or access any setup functions
Administrator - Has access to all functions, except top level password changes.
Super-Administrator - Similar to the administrator, the Super-Admin is the only one that can change their own password. This user level is designed to protect owners from being locked out of the Sicon-8.
