    Nodes receive their operational power and network communication from Network Hubs. Network Hubs should be strategically placed throughout the building. Individual nodes will typ- ically have relatively short wire runs, with longer wire runs from hub to hub. As nodes are added, the network simply loops from hub to hub expanding the system as necessary.

  • Page 7: Planning Your Installation

    PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED Depending on your installation you may require specialty tools to run wire or otherwise pre- pare a location for installation. The list below details the tools required to install the actual Navigator Network system. • Multimeter •...

  • Page 8: Wire Length And Hub Loading

    Thicker wire may be required for longer distances. All Sonance Navigator Network devices/nodes wire directly to a Network Hub. Sonance Navigator Network devices are wired in a star configuration and are not daisy chained. Do not chain, do not loop, and do not connect multiple nodes to a single wire.

  • Page 9: Installation Safety

    INSTALLATION SAFETY When installing the Navigator Network, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. Please follow the precautions out- lined below. 1. Read and understand all instructions. 2. Retain this installation manual for future reference. 3.

  • Page 13: Connecting Keypads And Other Devices

    CONNECTING KEYPADS AND OTHER DEVICES After the network wires have been run, they must be connected to both the intended node/device and to a Network Hub. As the wires are connected to the hub, problems may be encountered and will need to be corrected. Please follow the procedure outlined below for con- nection of the nodes.

  • Page 14: At The Hub

    • Network Diagnostic Analyzer shows that the network is OK. NETWORK CONNECTIONS Connectors used for connecting wiring between each of the Sonance Navigator Network devices are high quality spring loaded pressure type connectors. These connectors have been specifically chosen for their ease of installation and high resistance to failure in adverse condi- tions.

    Control 2 and the Hub. CONTROL 2 The Sonance Navigator Network Control 2 processor is the brains of the system. All menus displayed on the MagicPads and every action performed by the system originate at the Control 2.

  • Page 16: Audio Matrix

    AUDIO MATRIX The Audio Matrix is a network-controllable, six-zone, six-source preamplifier that is con- trolled by the Control 2 processor. Each Control 2 processor can support five Audio Matrix preamplifiers. The Audio Matrix includes state of the art circuitry to detect music levels and communicate them via the network to Control 2.

  • Page 17: Network Hub

    NETWORK HUB The Network Hub is used to connect and power the various network nodes such as Keypads, MagicPads, and Relay Controllers. Network Hubs are intended to be mounted on the supplied snap-track mounting plate. This plate can be removed and mounted virtually anywhere (non-condensing). We suggest mount- ing it behind the source components or in a remote location near a concentration of keypads in order to minimize the labor of long wire runs.

  • Page 18: Calculate Hub Load

    Each Network Hub has adequate supply to power eight Audio Keypads. If MagicPads or Relay Controllers are used in the system, the hub load must be adjusted to account for their higher power draw. To accomplish this, each device has been given a “hub load.”...

    Source button 1 equals switch one, source button 2 equals switch two, etc. Relay Controllers are more difficult. Use caution when setting them. Keypad Configuration Tips Do not apply power to the keypads until proper wiring has been verified. Reversed wiring will damage the keypad.

    CONFIRM NETWORK INTEGRITY The Diagnostic Analyzer can be used to confirm that data can be communicated over the Sonance Navigator Network. If data can communicate over the network, the network wiring is generally correct. To confirm network integrity, do the following: 1.

  • Page 29: Additional Problem Solving Techniques

    Diagnostic Analyzer can be used to identify the node in question. The Sonance Navigator Network is quiet most of the time. Typically only button presses and occasional temperature readings or commands are sent. During boot up, there is a great deal of network activity, (flashing LEDs) but after about three minutes, the activity becomes occa- sional.
