The Furuno SC30 Satellite
Compass provides highly accurate attitude information
for navigation equipment such as radar, plotter,
autopilot, fish finder and sonar It can be used
for a wide variety of applications on any type of
vessel.
The Furuno SC30
comes with a compact GPS antenna and built-in processor.
This all-in-one system delivers incredibly accurate
heading and roll & pitch information as well as
heaving information, GPS position, SOG (Speed Over
Ground), COG (Course Over Ground) and ROT (Rate
Of Turn) data.
Employing a two-antenna
system with a 3-axis gyro and acceleration sensors,
The Furuno SC30 enables high-speed response capability.
Advanced digital signal processing techniques compute
accurate heading based on sensor data. NMEA2000
interface is standard for simple installation, while
the optional interface unit IF-NMEASC is available
for conventional NMEA0183, AD10 and contact closure.
Revolutionary
2-antenna and rate sensor system
In order to calculate
roll & pitch data, a satellite compass requires
two vectors. The new SC30 employs a 2-antenna system
that calculates a single vector while a 3-axis rate
gyro and acceleration sensors add the 2nd vector.
This configuration enables The Furuno SC30 to calculate
highly accurate roll and pitch data without using
a third sensor. The Furuno SC30 employs the LAMBDA
algorithm developed by Prof. Teussen, Delft University
of Technology, The Netherlands
