3. DATA OUTPUT PROTOCOLS
NMEA 0183 output
Wire connection 4 wires: 12V, GND, NMEA Out+, NMEA Out-
Signal type RS-422
Supported messages $IIHDG - Heading with deviation & variation.
$IIHDM - Heading magnetic.
$IIROT – Rate of turn(°/minute), '-' indicates bow turns to port.
$IIXDR – Transducer measurements: Vessel attitude (pitch and roll).
*XDR message example:
$IIXDR,A,15.5,D,AS08_ROLL,A,11.3,D,AS08_PITCH,*3B
where 'A' indicates transducer type, 'A' is for angle transducer.
'15.5' is the roll value, '-' indicates roll to port.
'D' indicates the unit of measurement, degree.
AS08_ROLL is the name of transducer and the data type.
'A' indicates transducer type, 'A' is for angle transducer.
'11.3' is the pitch value, '-' indicates bow is below level horizon.
'D' indicates the unit of measurement, degree.
AS08_PITCH is the name of transducer and the data type.
*3B is the check sum.

PGN 127257 – Attitude (pitch and roll), converted from XDR sentences.
BEFORE LEAVING HOME:
We recommend pre-installing the configuration software or drivers if needed, as you might not have a CD
reader/internet access on site.
Driver and configuration software are only needed for specific features. The AS08-N2K can be used out of
the box. Simply connect it with a 12VDC power and it will immediately start working.
Configuration software and instructions are on the included CD and on www.quark-elec.com
