WARNINGS & NOTICES
Ness Corporation manufacturing processes are accredited to ISO9001 quality standards and all possible care and
diligence has been applied during manufacture to ensure the reliable operation of this product. However there are
various external factors that may impede or restrict the operation of this product in accordance with the product’s
specification.
These factors include, but are not limited to:
1. Erratic or reduced radio range (if radio accessories are installed). Ness radio products are sophisticated low
power devices, however the presence of in-band radio signals, high power transmissions or interference caused
by electrical appliances such as Mains Inverters, Wireless Routers, Cordless Phones, Computers, TVs and other
electronic devices may reduce radio range performance. While such occurrences are unusual, they are possible. In
this case it may be necessary to either increase the physical separation between the Ness receiver and other devices
or if possible change the radio frequency or channel of the other devices.
2. Unauthorised tampering, physical damage, electrical interruptions such as mains failure, electrical spikes or lightning.
3. Solar power inverters are a known source of electrical interference. Please ensure that this product and all associated
cabling is installed at least 3 metres away from a solar power inverter and its cabling.
4. While SMS reporting is a powerful and useful feature it is dependent on the integrity and availability of the cellular
network. As with any SMS message it is possible that SMS monitoring reports may be delayed or fail to be
delivered. Such failures are a function of the cellular network/s and beyond the control of Ness Corporation. Ness
recommends central station monitoring as your primary monitoring path.
WARNING: Installation and maintenance to be performed only by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations.

Introduction
Ness Navigator is a revolutionary touch
screen interface for use with Ness D8XCEL
and D16XCEL series alarm control panels.
Navigator has a large touch sensitive 3.5”
colour LCD which is easy to read, easy to
use and makes operating your Ness alarm
system a real pleasure.
The large colour screen means Navigator
can tell you much more than a conventional
keypad with zone descriptions 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 Ness 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!
Navigator Touch Screen Keypad is compatible with Ness D8x and D16x 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.

To Arm
The control panel must be armed
in order to detect intruders.
Before arming, make sure all zones
are “sealed” by ensuring there is
no movement in rooms covered by
motion detectors and that doors
or windows protected by reed
switches are closed. The display
will tell you when the system is
ready for arming.
SIREN WARNING
At the end of the exit time, all
zones should be sealed. If any are
unsealed, the siren will sound for
2 seconds to indicate that those
zones have been automatically
excluded. You should disarm
the panel, check the premises
and then arm again. Continual
warnings could mean there is a
problem with a detection device you will have to manually exclude
the zone before attempting to arm
the system.
If a zone is unsealed at the end
of exit time and the auto-exclude
option is disabled, the siren will
sound for the duration of siren
time, (the default is 5 minutes).
10
10 beeps on arming
means mains power may be turned
off or the backup battery is low.
One long beep when
you arm could mean the panel is
already armed or the keypad code
is wrong, (if not using Shortcut
Arming).
A valid user code.
