AS10: Temperature, Humidity & Pressure Sensor

Posted on by QMadmin

If you’re looking for real-time, reliable environmental data onboard—all without the fuss of multiple devices—your search ends here. Meet the AS10 NMEA 2000 3-in-1 Environmental Sensor, Quark-elec’s latest marine-grade sensor that combines air temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure in a single, compact unit.

Why the AS10 is a Must-Have for US Boat Owners

  1. Seamless NMEA 2000 Integration
    Just plug the AS10 into your existing NMEA 2000 backbone—no wiring, no external power. It powers up automatically and begins transmitting data straight to your chartplotter, MFD, or instrument display via PGN 130312 (Temperature), 130313 (Humidity), and 130314 (Barometric Pressure).
  2. Comprehensive Environmental Insight
    • Air Temperature: ± 0.5 °C
    • Humidity: ± 3 % RH
    • Barometric Pressure: ± 1 hPa
  3. Rugged & Reliable Design
    Built for harsh marine environments, the AS10 features a robust enclosure and stable internal components, ensuring dependable performance over time.
  4. Backed by Quality and Support
    It meets NMEA 2000 standards and includes a 2-year warranty. Quark-elec’s commitment to quality is also demonstrated through their other marine electronics and support infrastructure.

Fast Installation, Reliable Performance

  • Mounting: Uses a 2-screw bracket; versatile mounting orientation.
  • Connection: Integrated 1 m drop cable w/ micro-fit male connector.
  • Power & Data: Draws minimal power (~4 mA) from your NMEA 2000 bus, updates sensor readings once per second (1 Hz).

How Does It Compare?

Alternative: Yacht Devices Baro or Humidity Sensors

  • Barometer alone costs ~$149 USD with ±1 hPa accuracy.
  • Humidity sensor ~$189 USD with ±2 % RH and ±0.3 °C.
  • AS10 consolidates all three sensors into one unit, offering greater integration, lower power draw, and a more streamlined setup.

Perfect For:

  • Cruisers & Liveaboards – Gain insight into onboard climate control and ventilation.
  • Day Sailors & Weekenders – Monitor barometric trends for weather awareness.
  • Commercial & Charter Vessels – Low maintenance, high reliability, plug-and-play simplicity.

Tips for Installers

  • NMEA 2000 Backbone: No need for additional wiring—integrates seamlessly.
  • Placement: Avoid heat sources (e.g., engines or cabins) to ensure accurate readings.
  • Wireless Coverage: Pair with Quark-elec’s WiFi multiplexers (A032 or A034B) to broadcast sensor data throughout your vessel wirelessly.

Bottom Line

The AS10 NMEA 2000 3-in-1 Environmental Sensor is a smart, efficient, and rugged addition to any boat’s instrumentation suite. Its compact, durable design delivers three key environmental measurements with top-tier accuracy, directly into your NMEA 2000 network. Whether you’re tracking weather trends, optimizing comfort, or ensuring safety at sea, the AS10 is your go-to solution.
