Quark-Elec QK-AS07, Setup Manual, Page: 2 / 2

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.
QK - AS07 /QK - AS07 - C
AS07 INSTALLATION
The AS07 connects directly to your NMEA 2000 backbone for power and data transfer. No
other connections or configuration is required.
1. Mounting: Consider your locations
•
Sturdy outdoor location, with ‘ line of sight ’ to the sky.
•
The AS07 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 connecting your equipment!
3. Connect to your NMEA 2000 backbone (12.0V power)
The QK - A032 draws 12.0V power from your NMEA 2000 backbone. You will need a backbone and
2 termination 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 positional data will now be available to all devices on the NMEA 2000 bus.
USING THE OPTIONAL OUTPUT SWITCH (AS07 - C)
QK - AS07 /QK - AS07 - C
BEFORE LEAVING HOME:
We recommend pre - installing any needed Configuration software 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 settings.
Driver and Configuration software are for use with AS07 - C, they are optional and only needed
for specific features.
If using AS07 for configuration or 0183 use you will need
•
Configuration software (Windows) required.
•
Hardware driver may be required. Driver required for Windows. If using Windows 10, the
driver should install automatically, if not, it is included on the Free CD and at Quark - elec.com.
Driver not required for Mac
Configuration Software and specific instructions are on the FREE CD and at www.quark - elec.com.
The AS07 can be used out of the box, for instant positional data to your NMEA 2000 bus.
Alternatively, the AS07 can be used with the AS07 - C Optional Output Switch (pictured above).
The AS07 - C can be used for,
A. Additional configuration (Windows PC software),
•
Filtering of NMEA 2000 PGN messages, to eliminate unwanted data.
•
Adjusting the frequency of NMEA 2000 data. The default setting is 1 Hz (data transferred
once per second) The frequency can be set to 1/2/5/10 per second. 1Hz is the default setting
and is generally recommended. Please note: 10 Hz may cause data overflow on the NMEA
2000 system.
B. Backward compatibility with NMEA 0183 devices.
(The AS07 - C (Output Switch) will always require Configuration. See manual for AS07 - C setup.)
