0183 INSTALLATION
The AS07 connects directly to your 12v power and NMEA 0183 device. No other connections or
configuration is generally required.
1. Mounting: Consider your locations
•
Sturdy outdoor location, 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. Installation
The AS07
-
0183 is designed to be used out of the box, for instant positional data to other NMEA
0183 devices. The default baud rate has been set as 4800bps, at 1Hz updating frequency.
2.1 Connections
Ensure power is turned OFF when connecting any wire of your device
The AS07
-
0183 sensor has the following five wires. Connect the yellow wire (RX)
with the Black (thin one, GND) one, if it isn
’
t used.

This is an overview only. Always familiarize yourself with the product manual and
the manuals of any connecting devices before installation. Designed to be
connected by an experienced installer.

2.2 Connecting to NMEA 0183 (RS232) devices
The AS07
-
0183 sends positional 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 connections on your connecting NMEA 0183
-
RS232 device. One is GND for the NMEA Connection and one is GND for Power.
Ensure you check the above table and your device
’
s documentation carefully before
connection.
2.3 Connecting to NMEA 0183 (RS422) devices
Although AS07
-
0183 sends out NMEA 0183 sentences via single end RS232 interface, it also sup-
ports RS422 (differential signal) for RS232 interface devices, these wires need to be connected
