Optional: If using the NMEA 0183 output – Will your device need a Protocol Bridge?
This product uses the MNEA0183 RS422 protocol (differential signal), however, some chart plotters or devices may use the older NMEA RS232 protocol (single-ended signal).
Some customers have found that their Garmin products use the older RS232 connection. This is not a problem as our QK-AS03 Protocol Bridge connects NMEA RS232 wiring to NMEA0183 RS422 and vice versa. The QK-AS03 Protocol Bridge is easy to install using a simple ‘plug ‘n’ play’ connection with no setup or configuration needed.
You will probably need one if you are connecting to a Garmin device or some Raymarine products. The easiest way to check is to look at the input/output connections on the device that you will connect the multiplexer to. If the input/output connections on your device (chart plotter, depth reader, etc.) have a TX, RX or GND connection, you will need to use a protocol bridge.
If in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice.
