Sonance NAVIGATOR K2 Getting Started Manual

PROGRAMMING:
• The Navigator Manager software is required for programming the
Navigator K2 keypad.
• You can download the latest versions of the Navigator Manager
software and of this Installation Manual at no charge from our
website: www.sonance.com.
• If you need to learn additional IR codes into the Navigator Manager
software, you can purchase the OptiLinQ IR Learner (p/n 92071, sold
separately), or you can use a DAB1 Controller.
If your computer does not have a serial port, you can use an IO Gear
USB-to-serial port adapter (sold separately) to connect the K2 serial cable to
the computer's USB port. For more information on this part and its installation,
visit the K2 area of the Sonance website.
Note: The IR receiver pass-through is disabled as a factory default to
avoid inadvertent IR system interference. It can be enabled via the
Navigator Program Manager Software at the time of installation.
IN THIS PACKAGE:
• Navigator K2 Keypad with white wall plate and mounting hardware
• Getting Started card
• Extra button membranes
• Programming cable
• Cut-out Template
Before going any further, please record the serial number of your
Navigator K2 here for future reference. Serial #

WIRING:
The 8 wire screw connector to be used with a Navigator Harbor or
other IR only control system:
A minimum of 3-conductor wire is required for basic operation (+12
VDC, GND, and IR DATA). Consult the Navigator Program Manager
manual for a more detailed description of the function of the additional
pins. If you connect all 8 positions using CAT 5 cable, we suggest
adopting the following code.

K2 WIRING
• +12VDC - Brown
• GND - Brown/White
• IR DATA - Blue
• PWR STATUS - Blue/White
• RELAY CTRL - Orange
• GND - Orange/White
• AUX STATUS - Green
• KEYPAD SYNC - Green/White
• We recommend a maximum length of cable per gauge as follows: CAT5
(24 AWG) cable maximum of 250 feet, 20 AWG cable maximum of 500
feet, and 18 AWG cable maximum of 1000 feet. Note: Shielded wire is not
necessary and may actually cause intermittent IR control problems.
• If you are using CAT5 cable, we recommend using any unused
conductors as additional +12VDC and GND wires for increased
current handling capability.
• For zones with multiple keypads, you can run individual cables for
each keypad or daisy chain from one keypad to the next.
• If multiple keypads are connected in a daisy chain configuration, the
maximum length allowed per wire gauge should be divided
by the number of keypads that the wire segment is powering.
Conversely, if multiple wires are tied in parallel for +12VDC and
GND connections (i.e.doubling of CAT5 cable conductors), the length
allowed per wire gauge can be multiplied by the number
of conductors in parallel.
• Current Requirements: The K2 draws 260 mA of current when all
LEDs are lit at maximum brightness, 150 mA in medium brightness
and 96 mA at low brightness.
• The Navigator K2 Keypad can also be powered by a local power
supply, such as the Sonance PS1 or PS2, in combination with an
OptiLinQ connector block (such as a Sonance CB1). In this
configuration, the IR DATA can travel up to 1000 feet on CAT5
(24AWG) cable.
• The Navigator Speaker Relay, when used in conjunction with the
Navigator K2, adds 15mA to its current draw from the power supply.
If a relay other than the Sonance Navigator Speaker Relay is utilized
for external relay control, the current draw could greatly increase
depending upon the coil resistance of the relay (the K2 relay CNTL
output provides a 200mA maximum @12V). This will increase the
total current draw of the Navigator K2 and could reduce the
maximum length of cable allowed per wire gauge accordingly. Add
the total current draw of all keypads and speaker relays to ensure
you do not exceed the current capability of the power supply. Use a
separate Sonance PS2 for additional keypads when necessary. The
Sonance Navigator Harbor can supply a maximum of 1000mA to all
of the zone keypad connectors.
• When utilizing the Sync connection between two keypads, the total wire
length from keypad to keypad must not exceed 1000 feet.
The RS-485 port is for future use. It is inactive at this time.

NOTE: If you install the
Navigator K2 into a pre-existing
IR-based system, confirm the
wiring / color coding to ensure
that you are connecting the
correct signals to the proper
connection point.
