Quark-elec Manual
Check you have connected the correct wires before powering the A032 up. Connecting
the wrong wires will damage your device!
4. Connect A032 to a Windows PC via USB cable.
5. Power ON the A032 (by connecting it to the NMEA 2000 network).
In 'My computer' 2 new drives, 'STM32 APP' and 'STM32 WiFi' will appear.
WARNING: The firmware must be placed in 'STM32 APP' folder, NOT any other
folder/window/drive that appears. Saving to the wrong location will damage the device.
6. Copy the new firmware to the 'SMT32 APP' folder.
7. Once copied successfully, Power OFF the A032 (disconnect it from NMEA 2000 network)
8. Remove the short connections. (disconnect the wires you connected in step 2 and 3) and Power ON
the A032 (connect to NMEA 2000 network)
9. Wait at least 10 seconds and Power OFF A032 (disconnect from NMEA 2000 network)
10. Finally, POWER ON the A032 (connect to NMEA 2000 network) (This final step ensures settings
are stored).
The upgrading process is complete.
12. Conversion Lists
The following tables list the supported NMEA 2000 PGN's (parameter group numbers) and NMEA 0183
sentences. It is important to check the table to confirm that the A032 will convert the sentences/PGNs
required.
