SC70 - Furuno Satellite Compass with 4.3" LCD and 2 Antennas

Furuno SC70 Satellite Compass

• Provides highly accurate heading data of 0.4° for autopilot, Radar, ARPA, Scanning Sonar, Current Indicator, Chart Plotter, ECDIS and Autopilots
• Ideal for small to medium boats requiring highly accurate heading
• Utilizes GNSS such as GPS, Galileo and GLONASS for high Precision
• SBAS compatible (EGNOS,WAAS,MSAS)
• Provide precise data for SOG, COG, ROT and L/L
• Eliminating the problem of not having enough satellites at hand by using multiple types of satellites
• Speed on 3 axis (bow, stern and longitudinal) for safe navigating and berthing
• IMO Type-approved as THD, GPS and ROTI. Complying with the IEC, ISO requirements
• Easily integrated into the existing shipboard network via Ethernet
• Rapid follow-up rate 40°/s (twice the IMO high speed craft requirement, 20°/s)
• Maintenance free and no recurring cost as there are no mechanical parts
• Super short starting time - 90 seconds
• Once the power is on, it takes about 90 seconds to start (the starting time will slightly differ depending on the equipment location)
• Easy to retrofit by using existing antenna cabling for SC-50/55/60/110/120. (The LAN_CNV option kit is necessary)
• Precision pitch/roll data in Analog and Digital formats for vessel stabilization, Sonar, etc.

The SC70 is the latest satellite compass built on FURUNO’s commercial-grade technology platform. These satellite compasses prove their value by increasing the accuracy of other devices, such as Radar, ARPA, Scanning Sonar, Current Indicator, Chart Plotter, ECDIS and Autopilots. They provide a highly accurate heading input to these other technologies by utilizing the very latest GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). This satellite system is comprised of GPS, Galileo and GLONASS to ensure the highest precision and a continuous coverage.

The SC70 provides a variety of data, including GPS Positioning, SOG (Speed Over Ground), COG (Course Over Ground), ROT (Rate Of Turn) and 3-axis speed (bow, stern and longitudinal). All of these data assist with critical maneuvers, such as berthing. The compasses is maintenance free - a great asset for any vessel.

The Furuno SC70 Satellite Compass is a maritime navigation device designed for small to medium vessels requiring precise heading and positioning data. This system provides a highly accurate heading of 0.4 degrees, essential for the optimal performance of integrated systems such as autopilots, radar, ARPA, scanning sonar, chart plotters, and ECDIS. It utilizes multiple Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS, to ensure continuous coverage and high precision, mitigating issues related to satellite availability. Beyond heading, the SC70 delivers critical data points like Speed Over Ground (SOG), Course Over Ground (COG), Rate Of Turn (ROT), and 3-axis speed (bow, stern, and longitudinal), which are valuable for navigation and berthing maneuvers. The unit is IMO Type-approved as THD, GPS, and ROTI, complying with IEC and ISO requirements, and offers easy integration into existing shipboard networks via Ethernet. It features a rapid follow-up rate of 40 degrees/s and is maintenance-free with no recurring costs due to its lack of mechanical parts. Starting time is approximately 90 seconds from power-on.
