Installation of Navigator Controller

BEFORE STARTING

Before attempting to use the setup instructions for the controls system, make sure the
transceiver (remote control units only) or the wired low voltage cable is connected,
batteries have been correctly installed in the Navigator Controller (remote control units)
and the 240 volt power has been turned on to the product.

NOTE: Do not run the low voltage loom in long parallel runs with 240V mains
cables. Keep the low voltage loom 200mm away from any long runs of mains
wiring. Cross over mains wiring at right angles. Do not use existing access holes
in wall cavities where 240V mains wiring exist. Drill a new access hole 200mm
from the existing hole.

INSTALLATION

Where the control is using the thermostat for operation, it
must be installed approximately 1.5 metres above the floor
level on a room wall which is most commonly used for best
average sensing.

Secure the Navigator Controller cradle to the wall using the
screws and plugs provided.

• For hard wired versions drill an access hole through the
cradle to bring the cable into the control. Once
connected snap the control into the cradle.

• For the remote Navigator Controller (wireless) install
batteries and slide the Navigator Control into the cradle.
The Navigator Controller should remain in the cradle
during normal operating conditions for optimum
temperature thermostat control.

Do not locate Navigator Controller near concealed hot or
cold water pipes, warm air ducts, radiators, sunlight,
televisions or draughts from hallways, stairways and
fireplaces or external walls. These can all affect the
temperature.

Remote Control Units ONLY

Ensure the transceiver has been installed at least 500 mm clear of all metal masses. The
transmissions between the remote Navigator Controller (wireless) and the unit control
box are radio signals which are subject to interference. The primary causes for signal
interference are:

• Metal Construction buildings or metal masses near the antenna.

• Incorrect location of the antenna

• Cordless RF door bells

• Other Faulty appliances

• Navigator Controller too close to computers

• Powerful radio scanners

the transceiver housing to a solid surface such as a rafter
or vertical column using the two screws provided. Avoid
direct contact with metal surfaces. Connect the
transceiver plug to one of the two thermostat connections
on the control box.
When the installation is complete and the power to the
heater is turned on, a green LED in the transceiver case
should be visible confirming it is connected correctly and
is ready for pairing with a Navigator controller.

To ensure trouble free operation, the transceiver
housing & connecting cable should not be installed
within 200mm of any power cables or other radio
transmitting devices. The transceiver housing should
be placed 1m away from any metal object.

Do not screw the transceiver to the back of the
control box; it must be run into roof space.

PAIRING THE NAVIGATOR CONTROLLER (Remote Only)

The BONAIRE Navigator Controller and transceiver does
not have any pairing information when they are delivered
from the factory.
On the first power up, the transceiver will request to PAir
