Furuno SCX20 Satellite Compass - NMEA 2000

Furuno SCX20 Satellite Compass - NMEA 2000 Product Description

SCX20 Satellite Compass

Utilizing four separate GNSS Antennas for the ultimate in responsiveness, the SCX20 sets a new standard for reliable and accurate heading for all of your marine electronics. The four antennas ensure reliable heading performance, even under the most challenging of conditions. The unprecedented quad antenna design of the SCX20 makes it capable of calculating extremely accurate heading, pitch, roll, and heave information, even when line of sight is limited to only a single satellite. They greatly enhance the performance of onboard equipment such as Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar, and Autopilots.

Features:

• Outputs accurate Time, Position, Heading, COG/SOG, ROT (10 degrees/second), Roll/Pitch/Heave 3-Axis Speed, Air Temperature and Air Pressure data
• Unprecedented heading accuracy for Radars, Sonars, and Navigation
• 1.0 degree heading accuracy, 0.02 knot speed accuracy
• Extremely compact with easy and flexible installation for reduced susceptibility to multi-path interference

Furuno SCX20 Compact Dome Satellite Compass, NMEA2000® Certified

Utilizing four separate GNSS Antennas for the ultimate in responsiveness, the SCX20 and SCX21 set a new standard for reliable and accurate heading for all of your marine electronics. Traditionally, a Satellite Compass™ calculates heading using one baseline between two antennas; the SCX20/21’s four antennas can calculate heading information using any one of the six baselines drawn between the four antennas.

The unprecedented quad-antenna design of the SCX20 and SCX21 makes them capable of calculating extremely accurate heading, pitch, roll, and heave information. They are the perfect heading solution for complex vessel installations where the view of satellites may sometimes be obstructed.

The SCX20 and SCX21 enhance the performance of on-board equipment such as Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar, and Autopilots. Accurate heading information empowers your NAVpilot to keep a better course, saving time, fuel, and money on every voyage; meanwhile, precise pitch, roll, and heave information stabilizes the display for many Furuno Fish Finders and Sonars, allowing for an accurate presentation even in the roughest of seas.

Full NMEA2000 Certification provides plug and play connectivity to any NMEA2000 network. Distribute high-accuracy navigation data as well as air temperature and barometric pressure. Initial Setup and configuration can be done from any Navnet TZT2/TZT3 MFD, Navpilot 300, or use the free Furuno SC Setting Tool PC Software when properly interfaced.

When connected to Furuno SCX20/21, the Radar’s echo trails hold steady and clearly depict an accurate echo trail thanks to the SCX20/21’s amazing accuracy. Company A’s satellite compass fails to uphold a steady heading, making echo trails virtually unintelligible. Company B’s heading accuracy fluctuates by +/- 3? with a slower update, causing an echo trail that has a wide zig-zag pattern. Company C’s heading accuracy fluctuates by +/- 5? with a faster update, causing an echo trail that is indistinguishable and confusing.
