QK-AS07-0183
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 data on a PC via the USB port.
2. Use of the conguraon tool for:
a. Filtering of NMEA 0183 output sentences, to eliminate unwanted data
b. Adjusng the baud rate
c. Adjusng output frequency (data transferred once per second). The frequency of
data transfer can be set to 1/2/5/10 per second. 1Hz is the default seng and is gener-
ally recommended. Please note: changing the seng to 10Hz may cause data overow
in some devices.
These wires need to be connected to the USB adaptor and Power for successful USB

NMEA0183 Green: TX (NMEA OUT) USB adaptor—RX
Yellow: RX (NMEA IN) USB adaptor—TX
Black (thick): GND shield USB adaptor—GND
POWER Black (thin): GND GND (for Power)
Red: Power 12v—14.4v Power
TAKE CARE: There are two GND connecons.
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. The device sll requires power during USB connecon.
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.
Hardware driver may be driver. Driver required for Windows. If using
Windows 10, the driver should install automacally, if not, it is in-
cluded on the Free CD and at Quark-elec.com. Driver not required for
Mac.

AS07-0183 INSTALLATION
The AS07 connects directly to your 12v power and NMEA 0183 device. No other connecons or
conguraon is generally required.
1. Mounng: Consider your locaons
• Sturdy outdoor locaon, with ‘line of sight’ to the sky.
• The AS07-0183 has a standard G3/4 thread and is supplied with a corresponding base.
• If drilling holes for screws and cabling, seal around any holes to prevent damage to your
vessel or equipment.
2. Installaon
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.
2.1 Connecons
Ensure power is turned OFF when connecng any wire of your device
The AS07-0183 sensor has the following ve wires. Connect the yellow wire (RX)
with the Black (thin one, GND) one, if it isn’t used.
Wire Funcon
Red 12V-24V POWER
Black (thin) GND
Black (thick) GND (shield)
Green NMEA OUT / RS232 TX
Yellow NMEA IN / RS232 RX
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
connected by an experienced installer.

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
