QK-AS08-N2K Manual
1. Introduction
The QK-AS08-N2K is a compact, high-performance gyro electronic compass and attitude sensor. It has
an integrated 3-axis magnetometer, 3-axis rate gyro and, together with the 3-axis accelerometer, uses
advanced stabilization algorithms to deliver precise, reliable heading and vessel attitude including rate of
turn, pitch and roll readings in real time.
With solid state electronic technology and additional software, the AS08-N2K provides better than 0.4°
heading accuracy through ±45° of pitch and roll angle and also better than 0.6° pitch and roll accuracy in
static conditions.
The AS08-N2K has been pre-calibrated for maximum accuracy and
It can be used out of the box. Simply connect it with a 12VDC power source and it will immediately start
calculating the heading, pitch and roll data of the boat, and outputting this information via the USB, NMEA
0183 and NMEA 2000 ports. You can filter out this message type if not required (using the Windows
configuration tool with AS08).
The AS08-N2K outputs the NMEA 0183 format data via USB and RS422 port. Users can easily connect it
to their computer or NMEA 0183 listeners to share information with navigational software, chart plotters,
autopilots, vessel data recorder, and dedicated instrument displays. The AS08-N2K can be connected
directly with the NMEA 2000 backbone to share information with these chart plotters, autopilots and
dedicated instruments via NMEA 2000 network.
The AS08-N2K can be connected to a NMEA 2000 interface, NMEA 0183 interface, or connecting both
interfaces simultaneously.
2. Installation
2.1. Dimensions, mounting and location
The AS08-N2K is designed to be securely positioned in an indoor environment. The AS08-N2K should be
mounted to a dry, sturdy, horizontal surface. The cable can be routed either through the side of the sensor
