FUNCTION DETAILS
To better understand some of the functions listed
above, more detailed discussions of each feature are
contained in this section.
Front Panel Function Details
The front of the Sonance Navigator Harbor is simple and
elegant but it provides all necessary system information.
The data available on the front panel is as follows:
A.C. ON LED: The red A.C. On LED, indicates that AC
is present on the line cord and the rear panel AC fuse is
intact. As with the Sonance Sonamp® family of
amplifiers, this light provides an easy way to check for
blown AC fuses in a large system.
ACTIVE LED: When a zone of the system is active or
the Powerlink input is active, this green LED will be on.
This LED also indicates when the control output and
the switched AC outlet are active. After all zones are
turned off, the Active LED will go out.
IR Input: The IR receiver eye on the far right of the
front display window is for use with the remote control
provided with the Sonance Navigator Harbor. This IR
receiver only accepts IR commands with a carrier
frequency. An IR emitter, such as the Sonance VE1, can
be utilized to connect from one of the Common
Emitter jacks on the rear panel to the front panel IR
receiver, to pass individual keypad “party” information
to the IR receiver routing PCB. Commands without a
carrier frequency will be ignored by the front panel IR
receiver, thus “local” zone commands don’t have a
carrier. The zones controlled from the front panel IR
receiver are selectable via the DIP switch on the IR
receiver routing PCB inside the Harbor. The factory
preset of the IR routing board is the Zone 1 only. To
change the zones controlled, remove the top cover and
move the switch corresponding to the desired zone to
the “ON” position to be controlled. To defeat the front
panel IR receiver completely, simply set all six switches
to the “OFF’ position.
CAUTION: To Prevent serious injury, disconnect AC
voltage before removing the top cover and do not
reconnect AC voltage until the top cover has been
replaced and secured. Sonance strongly suggests that
only qualified technicians perform this procedure.
Global “Party” Commands: Use the Navigator Harbor
“w-freq” IR commands from the Sonance IR
commands library, in a system similar to that described
in figure 6, to issue commands to all active zones of a
Navigator Harbor. These “Party” commands use codes
with the carrier frequency set to 38kHz. In this type of
a system, Navigator Harbor commands that are NOT
intended to be “Party” commands must come from the
Navigator Harbor “w/o freq” IR commands in the
Sonance IR library. These “Local” commands use codes
that DO NOT have a carrier. These commands can be
used in the K1 keypad or the K2 keypad and will only
be accepted into the five pin zone header on the rear
panel of the Harbor.
Zone Mute: There is an amber Mute indicator for each
zone. The Mute indicator lights when that zone is in
mute. Use the Mute key on the Sonance Navigator
Harbor remote control or the mute command
programmed to a button on the K1 or K2 keypad to
mute a zone. Note: The Sonance Navigator K1 and K2
keypads have the ability to mute a room using the
optional speaker relay, in which case the “Off” button
on the keypad turns red. Under this condition, a keypad
option, the Harbor front panel Mute light will not be
activated.
Zone Source Select: Each zone has six green source
lights, which indicate which source is active in that zone.
Rear-Panel Function Details
To give the installer more options for overall control,
the Sonance Navigator Harbor has the following array
of control ports:
Common Emitters: These outputs drive IR flashers to
transmit IR signals to common source components.
The IR information is available from all zones, as well as
other Sonance Navigator Harbors linked through the IR
