FURUNO SC-50 SATELLITE COMPASS SC-50

FURUNO SC-50 SATELLITE COMPASS SC-50. We are excited to introduce our second generation Satellite Compass- the SC50- which utilizes Furunos advanced GPS Kinematic technology. Satellite Compass performance is not affected by ships 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 and TV systems- Autopilots (based upon I/F type)- AIS- ECDIS- Scanning Sonar- Chart Plotters- etc.
