Introduction The A032 is intended for use in a marine environment. It provides an easy way to link between users' boat's old and new data networks. The A032 allows the user to connect NMEA 0183 equipment to a NMEA 2000 network and vice versa. It has a bi-directional converter with wide support of message types. This will let the boat adopt a NMEA 2000 network, whilst connecting any existing NMEA 0183 devices to the new bus standard. Please refer to the A032 Conversion List chapter for details of conversions that can be performed by the A032 (and just as importantly those that cannot). The A032 has one NMEA 2000 connection and one NMEA 0183 port which transmit and receive data lines. The configurable baud rate from 4800bps to 38400bps allows connection of standard NMEA 0183 equipment. The A032 is powered by the NMEA 2000 backbone and provides high voltage galvanic isolation between The NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 ports. 3. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 NMEA 0183 is a serial data interface operating at 4800 bit/second utilizing standard asynchronous communications. NMEA 2000 is a serial data network operating at 250 Kbit/second utilizing the Controller Area Network (CAN). The CAN bus was originally developed for the automotive industry but is now used in numerous industrial applications. The key difference, apart from the obvious one of operating speed, is that NMEA 0183 is an interface while NMEA 2000 is a network. The NMEA 2000 network allows multiple electronic devices to be connected together on a common channel for the purpose of easily sharing information. Because it is a network, and because multiple devices can transmit data, a more comprehensive set of rules is required that dictate the behaviour of the members of the network. The CAN automatically provides some of these rules mostly for control of access to the network, packet transmission, and for error detection. Similar to NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 defines standard data formats and definitions, but in addition provides more extensive network management rules for identifying nodes on the network, sending commands to devices, and for requesting data. Besides the greater amount of control and integration provided, NMEA 2000 replaces with a single cable the wiring of up to 50 NMEA 0183 interconnections and can handle the data content of 50 to100 NMEA 0183 data streams. 4. Mounting The A032 is aimed at the commercial, leisure, fishing boat and vessel monitoring markets. It is not waterproof so should be mounted in a dry place such as behind the instrument panel on a flat surface. Please allow 0.5m between the A032 and other WiFi devices. This will help avoid interference problems. If USB is not being used then please use the USB dust cover provided. This will help maintain the port and keep dust out of A032. https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 5 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual Figure 2: A032 Dimension in mm https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 6 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 5. Connecting Disconnect all power sources before connecting your equipment! 5.1. Connecting to the NMEA 2000 network The 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. Figure 3: Pin NMEA 2000 male micro-fit connection The main communication channel of a NMEA 2000 network is a NMEA 2000 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 the A032. An NMEA backbone always requires two termination resistors, one at each end. Please note 12.0V power for the A032 unit comes from the NMEA 2000 backbone. 5.2. 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 if required Wire Colour Blue White Black Grey Brown Wire Function NMEA OUT NMEA OUT + NMEA IN NMEA IN + GND Default Baud Rate settings: The A032 is pre-set to frequently used Baud rate settings for your convenience.

Status LED'S The A032 features three LEDs which indicate power, NMEA 2000 input and NMEA 0183 input status respectively. Three LEDs turn on and then off after initialization. When operating, these LEDs flash as below: · Power: Top LED (red) flashes at 3 second intervals. · NMEA 2000 INPUTMiddle LED (green) flashes for each valid NMEA 2000 PGN input. · NMEA 0183 INPUTBottom LED (green) flashes for every valid NMEA 0183 sentence input. Please note: the NMEA LEDs flash when their respective data is received, not converted or sent. Figure 4: LED functions https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 8 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 7. Configuration The Windows configuration tool can be used to setup the NMEA 0183 baud rate and WiFi settings. The Configuration tool can be found on the free CD and as a download from our website below. https://www.quark-elec.com/product/qk-a032-nmea-2000-0183-bi-directional-gateway/ The configuration tool instructions can be found on the free CD and as a download from our website. http://www.quark-elec.com/doc/QK-A0xx_GUI_application_note.pdf When the A032 is connected to a Windows PC and powered up, `A032 connected' will be shown at the bottom of the Configuration software window. The software version will be shown in bottom right hand corner. NMEA 0183 NMEA 0183 input and output baud rates can be set up from dropdown menu. The A032 can work with high-speed NMEA 0183 devices (38.4kbps), or slower NMEA 0183 devices (4.8kbps) if no high-speed data is transferred. If transferring high speed data to WiFi and USB and any overflow issues is experienced, NMEA 0183 output can also be disabled to avoid this. WiFi The A032 can be set up in either Ad-hoc (p2p), Station mode (Access Point) ,or Standby(disabled). See wireless connections chapter for information. NMEA 2000 NMEA 2000 bus data can be sent out via WiFi and USB. Operator can setup the output format through the configuration tool. It can be PCDIN (Raw NMEA 2000 data in NMEA 0183 format), NMEA 0183(converted PGNs) or standby mode (disable the output from NMEA 2000 bus). Once settings are complete the user must click `Config' and then click `Disconnect'. Please reboot unit by un plugging the unit from the power source. The unit is now ready for use. https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 9 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 8. Wireless Connections The A032 allows users to view their data through WiFi on a PC, tablet, smartphone or other WiFi enabled device. Users can access marine network data including vessel course, speed, position, wind speed, direction, water depth etc. These can be viewed in the chart software (see chapter chart software) The IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standard has three basic modes of operation; Ad-hoc mode (peer to peer), Station mode (also called infrastructure mode) and Standby (WiFi disabled). The A032 supports both: · In Ad-hoc mode WiFi: mobile devices connect directly (peer to peer) to another device, without a router or access point. For example; PC, tablet or smartphone can connect directly to the A032 to receiver marine data. · In Station mode WiFi: wireless devices communicate through an access point (AP) such as a router that serves as a bridge to other networks (such as the Internet or LAN). This allows the router to handle the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be picked up through the router anywhere on the local area network. This is similar to plugging the device directly into the router by wire, but instead using wireless technology. In this way, the mobile devices receive both the marine data and other AP connections for example Internet. The A032 is set to Ad-hoc mode as a default setting, but can be easily setup to station mode through the configuration tool software. https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 10 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 8.1. WiFi Ad-hoc mode ON THE DEVICE (phone, laptop etc.): About 15 seconds after the A032 has powered up, a WiFi network with an (SSID) similar to `QK- A032xxxx' can be found. Connect the device to `QK-A032xxxx' with the default password: `88888888'. Device SSID WiFi password Similar to `QK-A032xxxx' 88888888 IN THE CHART SOFTWARE: Set the protocol as `TCP', IP address as `192.168.1.100' and the port number as `2000' in the chart software. Protocol IP address Data Port TCP 192.168.1.100 2000 With the above settings, a wireless connection should be established and the user will be able to receive the data through the chart software. Note: In Ad-hoc mode, the IP address should not be changed. SSID and password can be changed using the configuration software; the password should be between 8 to 12 characters. Users can check the wireless connection with TCP/IP port monitoring software as shown below: Figure 5: TCP/IP Net Assistant https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 11 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 8.2. WiFi Station mode Station mode WiFi allows the router to handle the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be picked up through the router anywhere on the local area network. Similar to plugging the device directly into the router by wire, but instead using wireless technology. This allows the main mobile device to still receive internet and for users to be able to view the data. To begin using station mode the Quark-elec instrument should be attached to a computer running windows (for Mac user's windows boot camp) via USB. 1. Connect A032 to computer via Micro USB connection. 2. Run the Configuration tool and check connection to A032 at the bottom of configuration tool. 3. Change working mode to `Station mode' 4. Enter the router's SSID. 5. Enter the password for the network (A032 allows the password should be 8 to 12 characters length). 6. Enter the IP address to assign to the A032. Start with 192.168. The third group of digits depends on the router's configuration (Commonly 1 or 0). The fourth group must be a unique number between 0 and 255. This number must not be used by any other equipment connected to the router. 7. Enter the router's IP address in the Gateway section. This can usually be found under the router. Leave the other settings as they are. 8. Click `Config' in the bottom right hand corner and wait about 60 seconds. After 60 seconds Click `Disconnect'. 9. Repower the A032. The A032 will now attempt to connect to the router. 10.In the chart software set the protocol as `TCP' Insert the IP address that was assigned the A032 Enter the Port number as `2000' in the chart software. Protocol IP address Data Port TCP (check the router) 2000 Users should now be connected and see marine data on chart software. If not, check the router's IP address list and check the IP address that the router has given the A032. Occasionally, a router assigns a different IP address to a device than the one chosen. If this is the case, copy the IP address from the router into the chart software. If the IP address in the router's IP address list is the same as the one input into the chart software then everything will work in station mode. If users are unable to see any data repeat the steps, and check all the data has been input correctly. If users are not able to view the data in station mode, the likely cause is either the data has been input incorrectly, or the IP address is different in the chart software to that of the router. https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 12 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 8.3. WiFi Standby Selecting Standby will disable the WiFi module in the A032. This helps to reduce the power consumption or may be used when connecting two WiFi enabled devices. 9. Connecting Via USB Port A032 is supplied with a USB connector. This connector provides data output as standard (multiplexed information from other instruments will also be sent via these connections). This USB connector can be linked directly to a USB port on the PC. It can also be connected to other mobile devices via an USB OTG (On the Go) connection using the supplied cable. Windows 7, 8, 10: To enable the USB data connection of A032 to other devices, related hardware drivers may be needed, dependent on the system requirements. The driver can be found on the CD in the packing box or be downloaded from https://www.quark-elec.com The drivers usually install automatically to the device if it is running Windows 10 (non-upgraded version). The A032 registers itself to the computer as a virtual serial com port. A new COM port will automatically show up in the device manager after plugging in the A032. Mac: For Mac OS X, the A032 will be recognized and shown as a USB modem. The ID can be checked with the following steps: 1. Plug the A032 into a USB port and launch Terminal.app. 2. Type: less /dev/*sub* 3. The Mac system will return a list of USB devices. A032 will display as - "/dev/tty.usbmodemXYZ" where XYZ is a number. Nothing further needs to be done if it is listed. Linux: No driver is required for Linux. When plugged into the computer, A032 will show up as a USB CDC device on /dev/ttyACM0 or similar. 9.1. Checking the USB connection (Windows) After the driver is installed, run the Device Manager and check the COM number (this is the number associated with the USB port being used. The port number is the number that Windows assigns as an input device. These can be generated randomly by the computer). The chart software may require the COM number in order to access the data. The port number for the A032 can be found in Windows `Control Panel->System->Device Manager' under `Ports (COM & LPT)'. Find the A032 in the list for the USB variant. To change this number, double click the A032 and select the `Port Settings' tab. Click the `Advanced' button and change the port number to the one required. Checking the USB data flow: If desired, the USB data can always be checked with a terminal monitor application, like Putty or HyperTerminal. To do this, please enter the following into the COM port settings: Bits per second: 38400bps, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, and Stop bits: 1 . https://www.quark-elec.com V4.32 13 of 20 2021 Quark-elec Manual 10. Chart Software A wide range of free and paid chart software is available. We will use OpenCPN for our example chart software; other software will require similar setup. OpenCPN (Open Chart Plotter Navigator) is a free software project creating concise chart plotter and navigation software, for use underway or as a planning tool. OpenCPN is developed by a team of active sailors using real world conditions for program testing and refinement. https://opencpn.org/ 10.1. OpenCPN example USB setup 1.
