Connecting To The Nmea 2000 Network; Connecting To A Nmea 0183 Device - Quark-Elec QK-A032 Manual

Quark-elec Manual

4.1. Connecting to the NMEA 2000 Network

Please note the main communication channel of a NMEA 2000 network is a backbone to which
NMEA 2000 devices connect. Each NMEA 2000 device connects to the backbone with a T- piece
connector. A NMEA 2000 backbone must be connected to power and two termination resistors
are required at each end of the backbone.
QK-A032 is pre-fitted with a five-core screened cable for the NMEA 2000 connection, fitted with a
male micro-fit connector. Simply connect the cable to the network backbone using a T-piece
connector.

4.2. Connecting to a NMEA 0183 Device

A pre-fitted five-core screened cable is provided for connecting to the NMEA 0183 devices.
The user can use the configuration tool to setup NMEA 0183 input and output baud rate. The
standard 4800bps or 38400bps can be selected.
