The Furuno SC70 Satellite Compass delivers GNSS-based heading data for small to medium boats, enhancing autopilots, radar, ARPA, and chart plotting with precise, continuous input.
-
Complete satellite compass system: Includes SC701 Junction Box, SC702 Display, and SC703 Antenna Unit as a ready-to-use package.
-
Antenna cable required: Requires antenna cable to operate.
-
Multi-constellation GNSS with SBAS: GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS with SBAS compatibility (EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS) for high-precision data.
-
Heading accuracy: 0.4° heading accuracy for autopilot, Radar, ARPA, Scanning Sonar, Current Indicator, Chart Plotter, and ECDIS.
-
Rapid update rate: Update rate up to 40 deg/s (twice the IMO high-speed craft requirement of 20 deg/s).
-
3-axis speed data: Provides 3-axis speed data along bow, stern, and longitudinal axes.
-
Data outputs: GPS Positioning, SOG (Speed Over Ground), COG (Course Over Ground), ROT (Rate Of Turn), and 3-axis speed.
-
Ethernet networking: Easily integrated into shipboard Ethernet networks for broad data sharing across devices.
-
Maintenance-free design: No moving mechanical parts, reducing ongoing upkeep.
-
Fast startup: Very quick initialization—about 90 seconds from power-on to ready.
-
Retrofit option: Easy retrofit by using existing antenna cabling for SC-50/55/60/110/120; LAN_CNV option kit is necessary.
-
Compliance: IMO Type-approved as THD, GPS and ROTI; complies with IEC/ISO requirements.
By delivering precise heading and rich motion data, the SC70 enhances berthing, piloting, and overall navigational confidence. Its multi-constellation GNSS foundation ensures continuous heading input even when satellites are sparse, while SBAS corrections improve accuracy for critical maneuvers. The inclusion of 3-axis speed data supports stable, safe navigation in dynamic seas, and the maintenance-free design, rapid 90-second startup, and Ethernet connectivity streamline installation and operation. Built on Furuno’s commercial-grade platform and backed by robust certification, the SC70 is a dependable upgrade for vessels that rely on accurate, integrated navigation data.
