SC-60 Satellite Compass

The SC-60 is a new satellite compass that uses Furuno's advanced GPS technology. This compass offers a wide range of applications for any type of vessel. Radar/ARPA, AIS, ECDIS, Scanning Sonar, and VideoPlotter can utilize the functions of this compass.

The SC-60 consists of Radome Antenna, Display Unit and Processor Unit. The low-profile radome accommodates three GPS antenna/receiver units. The tri-antenna system helps reduce the influence of ship's motion. 

The performance is not affected by ship's speed, latitude, geomagnetism, etc. Settling time is almost instant and follow-up performance is excellent to 25°/s (SOLAS HSC Code requires 20°/s as minimum).

This unit is also a full-functioning GPS navigator. SOG (speed over ground), COG (course over ground) and ROT (rate of turn) are also displayed as well as the heading information and positional data. SOG is remarkably accurate by decoding the Doppler shift in the received satellite signals.

The display modes include Heading, Nav Data, Steering, Compass Rose, Set & Drift and ROT modes. The unit delivers true heading and course/speed over ground, as well as GPS fix, through four ports. The heading information can also be exported in AD-10 format at a high update of 25 ms to satisfy high speed data requirements in special applications. When a water-tracking speed log, such as DS-80, is connected, the SC-60/SC-120 calculate set and drift (tide direction and speed) in the Set and Drift mode. The display helps radar operator to manually enter set and drift for accurate sea stabilization picture.
