NOTE:  M1 firmware  v5.2.8 or later is required in 
order for Navigator to synchronize and display the 
names of Areas, F Keys, Lights, Outputs, and Tasks.  
ElkRP software v2.0.10 is recommended when 
programming a M1 system that includes a Navigator.  

 

Mounting 

Navigator can be wall mounted without a pre-wire 
box.  If a pre-wire box is used, it MUST BE a single 
(1) gang electrical box designed for “New Work”, and 
it should be installed sideways (horizontal).   
 
Separate the Navigator front assembly from the 
backplate by gently inserting a small flat blade 
screwdriver into each of the four (4) locking slots one 
at a time until the front releases.  Be cautious when 
handling the front assembly.  Avoid touching or 
damaging any exposed components.  Do not bend or 
pull on the flat ribbon cable that loops over the bottom 
edge and plugs into the back of the board.  
 
Insert data bus cable through marked entry.  Position 
backplate level on the surface with TOP facing up.    
Install min. two screws in mounting holes provided.    

 

Warning: Single gang electrical boxes designed for 
“Old Work” have a wide outer trim dimension and 
may not be suitable for use with Navigator.  Installer 
should test fit before installation!

 

 

 

                      Navigator Backplate 
 

NOTE: An optional surface box (ELK-M1BBKN) is 
available for use on concrete or block (non-hollow) 
surfaces, or where wire raceway is needed.

 

Wiring Connections 

Splice the four (2) wires on the plug-in cable to the 
Data Bus Cable wire from the Control.  Use “B” 
connector splices or solder and tape the connections.

  

 

 

 
Re-attaching Front to Backplate 

Plug the 6-wire cable assembly into connector TB1 on 
the board.  The polarity ribs should face the side gap.  
When removing this cable, always grip the connector 
body itself.  DO NOT TUG OR PULL on the wires.  
Tuck loose cable and splices out of the way.   
 
Position the bottom edge of Navigator inside the lower 
ledge of the backplate, and then rotate the top back 
towards wall.  Gently press until the 4 snaps engage in 
the slots.  DO NOT FORCE!  If units do not snap 
together, start over double checking for any loose 
wires of connections which may be interfering. 

Start-Up Screen 

On power up the Start-up screen displays the Keypad 
Version, M1 Serial number, and the Keypad (data bus) 
Address 

IF

 one is currently set. 

 

 
It an address is not set it will display “Please Set 
Keypad Address”.  If “Waiting to connect to panel” is 
displayed then a data bus enrollment needs to be 
performed from an already enrolled keypad. 
 

Change (Set Keypad) Address 

 

Each Keypad connected to an M1 must have its own 
address, unique to any other keypad(s) on the system.  
Press “CHANGE ADDRESS” on the Start Up screen 
to bring up the Set Keypad Address screen.

 

 

NOTE: If the Main User Screen is displayed then 
pressing and holding the “CLEAR” key for 15 
seconds will bring up the Set Keypad Address screen. 
 
The current keypad address will be illuminated.  Any 
address(s) with a RED border indicate a keypad 
currently enrolled to the M1 panel.  RED bordered 
addresses CANNOT be used for this keypad.   
Press any unused keypad address button to select that 
address for this new keypad. 

Default Keypad - Pressing the “Default Keypad” 
button will clear the keypad address, M1 serial 
number enrolled into the panel, function key names, 
task names, lighting names and output names and area 
names. It will not clear installer information. 

 

EXIT – Pressing this button or the Red “X” in the top 
right corner will exit the Set Keypad Address screen. 

Data Bus Enrollment  

A message “Please enroll keypad into panel” will 
display if the keypad address does not match an 
address currently enrolled in the M1, or has never 
previously been enrolled into any M1.   
 
Perform a Bus Enrollment using an already enrolled 
keypad OR the ElkRP Remote Program software. 
 
Once the keypad receives valid data from the M1 
panel (and is enrolled) it will display the message 
“Synchronising Panel Status”. 
 

 

 

 

 

The Start-up screen displays until all current status 
data is collected from theM1 panel.  Once this is 
complete the keypad will move on to the following 
MAIN USER screen.
