Sonance Navigator K2 User manual
PROGRAMMING:
•TheNavigatorManagersoftware 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.
•Ifyouneed 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.

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.
•Ifyouareusing CAT5 cable, we recommend using any unused
conductors as additional +12VDC and GND wires for increased
current handling capability.
•Forzoneswithmultiple keypads, you can run individual cables for
each keypad or daisy chain from one keypad to the next.
•Ifmultiplekeypads 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.
•TheNavigatorK2 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.
•TheNavigatorSpeaker 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.

NAVIGATOR K2 KEYPAD
MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS (SEE FIG. 2)
Zones 1, 2, and 5: The Navigator K1 and K2 can be used in a Harbor
system together with other Sonance IR receivers (such as the PFMR1,
WMR1, MR1, SMR1, or the CR1). Depending upon what combination of
keypads is used, you may need to provide additional local power to
supplement the Navigator Harbor power supply. The ASAP2 is used to
provide automatic audio switching to local sound sources (such as a
computer or television). An ASAP1 or SAT275 could be used as well. If
your zone has multiple local sources,such as a television and a computer,
an ASAP2 with an AL1 module installed would provide automatic
switching between the house system and the 2 local sources.
Note for Zones 1 and 2: Some televisions do not allow you to disengage the
television speakers to enable use of the volume controls to drive variable
audio line outputs. In that case, additional equipment may be needed to
provide variable line level inputs to the ASAP2.
Zones 3, 4, and 6: The Navigator K1 or K2 provides the sole means of
audio control for these zones.
Note: In zones where a separate IR receiver is used in conjunction with a
Navigator keypad (such as an MR1 near the local television source), the IR
passthrough circuit on any Navigator keypad should be disabled (default) to
prevent interference from IR multi-path signals.
MOUNTING:
• The Navigator K2 Keypad can be retro-fit into existing construction
by utilizing the integrated toggle feet, similar to a speaker. Utilize the
cut-out template for marking the hole size.
•TheNavigator K2 Keypad can also be mounted in a Carlon double-
gang new construction J-box.
NOTE: When mounting the K2 outdoors, you must mount in a waterproof box.
You should also consider either disabling the IR receiver or placing the K2 so that
no sunlight hits the receiver. Sunlight will cause noise on the IR line which may
impact operations of IR devices throughout the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Programming:
Yo u c o m p u t e r d o e s n o t h a ve a serial port but you do have a USB port:
•Purchase an IO Gear USB to serial port adapter.
•Forinstallationprocedures, please visit the Navigator K2 area of our website.
Yo ur Navigator K2 does not communicate with your computer:
•Ensurethe programming cable is connected at both ends.
•Ensurethatthe K2 is plugged into the selected COM port. You can use the auto detect
feature in the Navigator Manager software as well. Select Options then Set COM Port
from the menu list at the top. Press the Auto Detect button. Your computer should
detect and select the proper COM port. Press OK when done.
For all questions related to the Navigator Manager software, please refer to the software
manual. This manual is downloadable from the Sonance website (www.sonance.com).
Operations:
Yo ur Navigator K2 does not respond or appears to not be powered:
•Ensurethatthe unit is not in the powered-down state (press any button and you
should see the keypad light up).
•Ensurethatthe wiring is connected properly at both ends (including pin-out).
•Ensurethatthe device providing power (such as a Navigator Harbor) is on .
Yo ur Navigator K2 is not controlling your components:
•Ensurethatthe K2 is properly connected and powered (see above).
•Ensurethatthe K2 IR receiver is not being saturated with IR noise (sunlight, plasma,
compact fluorescent lights, …).
The Off button illumination changes from red to orange in the presence of IR
signals (default). If the Off button is continually orange it could indicate the
presence of IR noise. In this case, consider moving the keypad to another
location or disabling its IR receiver and using a separate IR receiver located
somewhere else in the room that isn’t subject to IR interference.
•Ensurethatsignaliscoming out of your Navigator K2 keypad (some devices, such as the
Navigator Harbor,have a talk-back LED that blinks when IR signals are present on the line).
If no signal is coming out, the problem is potentially improper, wiring or no
loaded program. See notes above.
If signals are present, verify that the IR codes loaded into the remote control are the
proper codes and that they were learned correctly.
•Ensure that the IR emitter(s) is connected properly and that it is placed properly on
your equipment.
