Introduction
The ICentral Navigator is a revolu-
tionary touch screen interface for
use with the ICentral i8/i161series
alarm control panels.
Navigator has a large touch sensi-
tive 3.5” colour LCD which is easy
to read, easy to use and makes op-
erating your ICentral alarm system a
real pleasure.
The large colour screen means Nav-
igator can tell you much more than
a conventional keypad can.
Zone descriptions are displayed
in plain English and you can even
edit zone names yourself to reflect
the names of rooms in your own
premises.
Not only does Navigator provide
valuable information about your
ICentral alarm system, it allows you
to arm and disarm your system,
tells you what the system is doing,
you can use it to program alarm
system and if that’s not enough
- Navigator just looks great!
1Navigator Touch Screen Keypad is compatible with iCentral i8 and i16 control panels Version 7 and later.

Screen Protection
Applying the Protective Film
Navigator Touch Screen Keypad is supplied with a self-adhesive screen
protector to help protect the sensitive touch surface from marks and
scratches which may appear under normal use.
We highly recommend that you apply the protective film to keep the touch
surface looking brand new for years to come.
Please peel off this
mask BEFORE application
STEP 1. Use the orange No. 1 tab to
peel off the self-adhesive backing.
STEP 2. Flip the film over to position
the green No. 2 tab at the top left.
STEP 3. Holding the
protective film by the green
tab, carefully apply the film
to the Navigator’s screen.
Start applying at one end and
smooth the film as you go to
remove any air bubbles
STEP 4. Use the green tab
to peel off and discard the
topmost layer of the film.
Your Navigator is now ready
for use.
