QK-AS07-N2K/QK-AS07-C
AS07-N2K INSTALLATION
The AS07-N2K connects directly to your NMEA 2000 backbone for power and data transfer. No
other connecons or conguraon is required.
1. Mounng: Consider your locaons
• Sturdy outdoor locaon, with ‘line of sight’ to the sky.
• As close to the vehicle/boat’s center of gravity as possible. Avoid mounng 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 mounng locaon will not disrupt moving equipment (eg. Radar)
• Do NOT install near ferrous metals or anything that can create a magnec eld such as:
magnezed materials, electric motors, electronic equipment, engines, generators, power/
ignion cables, and baeries.
• Do not install within a steel/ magnec container,
including not within the hull of a steel boat/vehicle.
• With the correct orientaon. AS07-N2K 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 congure this adjustment to
+90 to –90 degrees using the Windows conguraon tool.
(See the full manual for more details)
• The AS07-N2K 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. Disconnect all power sources before connecng your equipment!
3. Connect to your NMEA 2000 backbone (12.0V power)
The AS07-N2K draws 12.0V power from your NMEA 2000 backbone. You will need a backbone
and 2 terminaon resistors (1 on each end), such as NMEA 2000 Starter Kit (www.quark-
elec.com/product/nmea-2000-n2k-starter-kit/).
4. Re-power your NMEA 2000 backbone. The posional data will now be available to all devices
on the NMEA 2000 bus.
USING THE OPTIONAL OUTPUT SWITCH (AS07-C)
QK-AS07-N2K/QK-AS07-C
BEFORE LEAVING HOME:
We recommend pre-installing any needed Conguraon soware or drivers if needed, as you
might not have a CD reader/internet access on site.
Not required for standard NMEA 2000 use with default sengs.
Driver and Conguraon soware are for use with AS07-C, they are oponal and only needed
for specic features.
If using AS07–C for conguraon or 0183 use you will need
• Conguraon soware (Windows) required.
• Hardware driver may be required. Driver required for Windows. If using Windows 10, the
driver should install automacally, if not, it is included on the Free CD and at Quark-elec.com.
Driver not required for Mac
Conguraon soware and specic instrucons are on the FREE CD and at www.quark-elec.com.
The AS07-N2K can be used out of the box, for instant posional data to your NMEA 2000 bus.
Alternavely, the AS07-N2K can be used with the AS07-C Oponal Output Switch (pictured above).
The AS07-C can be used for,
A. Addional conguraon (Windows PC soware),
• Filtering of NMEA 2000 PGN messages, to eliminate unwanted data.
• Adjusng the frequency of NMEA 2000 data. The default seng is 1 Hz (data transferred
once per second) The frequency can be set to 1/2/5/10 per second. 1Hz is the default
seng and is generally recommended. Please note: 10 Hz may cause data overow on the
NMEA 2000 system.
• Compensang for installaons where the sensor heading marker is posioned o of the
direct course heading.
B. Backward compability with NMEA 0183 devices.
