Quark-Elec QK-AS07-0183 User manual

USB CONNECTION:
The AS07-0183 is designed to be used out of the box. Alternavely, AS07-0183
can be connected via USB adaptor (oponal) to a Windows PC for:
1. Accessing GPS /heading data on a PC .
2. Conguring addional sengs (using Windows conguraon tool)
a. Filtering of NMEA 0183 output sentences, to eliminate unwanted data
b. Adjusng the baud rate
c. Adjusng output frequency. The frequency of data transfer can be set to 1/2/5/10 per
second. 1Hz is the default seng and is generally recommended. Please note: changing
the seng to 10Hz may cause data overow in some devices.
d. Programming to compensate for installaons where the sensor heading marker is posi-
oned o of the direct course heading. Sensor must sll be located but could be rotated
up to +90° degrees or -90° degrees if necessary. In this case this adjustment should be
congured into the device.

BEFORE LEAVING HOME:
We recommend pre-installing any needed conguraon soware or drivers if needed, as you
might not have a CD reader/internet access on site. Driver and conguraon soware are for
use with the RS232 to USB adaptor, they are only needed for the above USB features.
Conguraon soware (Windows) required.
Driver required for Windows. If using Windows 10, the driver should install automacally, if
not, it is included on the Free CD and at Quark-elec.com. Driver not required for Mac.
Conguraon soware and instrucons are on the included CD and on www.quark-elec.com

INSTALLATION:
1.1 Locaon:
Mount the AS07-0183 in a,
• Sturdy outdoor locaon, with ‘line of sight’ to the sky.
• As close to the vehicle/boat’s center of gravity as possible. Avoid mounng too high up, to
ensure a more accurate compass reading.
• Minimum 0.3 metre from other compasses (standard and steering).
• Minimum 2 metres from a VHF antenna.
• Ensure the mounng locaon will not disrupt moving equipment (eg. Radar)
• Do NOT install near ferrous metals or anything that can create a magnec eld such as:
magnezed materials, electric motors, electronic equipment, engines, generators, power/
ignion cables, and baeries.
• Do not install within a steel/ magnec container,
including not within the hull of a steel boat/vehicle.
• With the correct orientaon. AS07-0183 has two raised
lines on the tube, the center point of these should be
pointed straight forward, towards the front of the boat, as
illustrated.
If this is not possible, you can congure this adjustment to
+90 to –90 degrees using the Windows conguraon tool.
(See the full manual for more details)
The AS07-0183 has a standard G3/4 thread and is supplied with a corresponding base.
1.2 Wiring:
The AS07-0183 is designed to be used out of the box, for instant posional data to other NMEA
0183 devices. The default baud rate has been set as 4800bps, at 1Hz updang frequency.
Ensure power is turned OFF when connecng any wire of your device. The AS07 connects
directly to your 12v power and NMEA 0183 device. No other connecons or conguraon is
generally required.

This is an overview only. Always familiarize yourself with the product manual and
the manuals of any connecng devices before installaon. Designed to be

2.2 Connecng to NMEA 0183 (RS232) devices
The AS07-0183 sends posional sentences, in the NMEA 0183-RS232 (single-ended) protocol.
For RS232 interface devices , these wires need to be connected.
TAKE CARE: There may be two GND connecons on your connecng NMEA 0183-
RS232 device. One is GND for the NMEA Connecon and one is GND for Power.
Ensure you check the above table and your device’s documentaon carefully before
connecon.
2.3 Connecng to NMEA 0183 (RS422) devices
Although AS07-0183 sends out NMEA 0183 sentences via single end RS232 interface, it also sup-
ports RS422 (dierenal signal) for RS232 interface devices, these wires need to be connected
