Furuno SC-50 Satellite CompassWe are excited to introduce our second generation Satellite Compass, the SC50,
which utilizes Furuno’s advanced GPS Kinematic technology. Satellite Compass
performance is not affected by ship’s speed, latitude, geomagnetism, etc. This
hybrid integration of GPS receiver technology and a 3-axis solid-state rate
sensor provide accurate and steady heading information, even when bridges or
tall buildings block satellite signals. Unlike conventional magnetic and gyro
compasses, accuracy is not affected by G-force or velocity. Furthermore, when
compared to other GPS based compass systems incorporating only two antennas, our
addition of a third GPS antenna provides enhanced accuracy while reducing the
negative effects of pitch, roll, and yaw.
The SC50 offers highly accurate GPS WAAS Data for SOG, COG, ROT, and L/L.
Multiple, programmable hi-speed heading data outputs allow you to send this
information where you need it, and our unique Analog Pitch and Roll Output can
be used to enhance your Furuno Sonar System.
This Satellite Compass is ideal as an alternative to a traditionally
expensive and high-maintenance gyrocompass for non-compulsory vessels, as well
as being the perfect back up solution to a gyro for a compulsory vessel. The
SC50 offers a wide range of applications for providing fast, stable, precision
heading information to numerous devices, including: Radar/ARPA, Satellite
Communications & TV systems, Autopilots (based upon I/F type), AIS, ECDIS,
Scanning Sonar, Chart Plotters, etc.
