FURUNO SCX-21 Multi-GNSS Satellite COMPASS™NMEA 0183

NEW

SCX-21 Satellite Compass with four GNSS antennas (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, Galileo) for extreme accuracy

Great four separate GNSS antennas for the most accurate response. The new FURUNO SCX-20 Satellite Compass provides a reliable-and-accurate heading for all your marine electronics. 1.0 degree heading accuracy and 0.02 degree knot speed accuracy.

Normally, a satellite compass ™ calculates the course using on baseline between two antennas.

Fellow competitors have a heading accuracy that fluctuates by +/- 5˚ with a quick update, which means that an echo track is indistinguishable and that is confusing.

The FURUNO SCX-21's four antennas system can calculate heading information using any of the six baselines between the four antennas. The design of the SCX-20 allows you to accurately calculate heading, pitch, roll and heave information.

You will receive the following data extremely accurately:

• High Resolution Heading
• Integrated sensors for roll, pitch and yaw detection
• 3x NMEA output
  2x NMEA 0183 input
  1xPPS with RS-485
• GPS 
• Rate Of Turn 
• Heave sensor
• Pitch and Roll 
• Transverse Speed
• Follow up rate for stabilising Radars
• Excellent Heave Compensation algorithm for Fish Finder and Sonar stabilisation
• No deck mount option

All in one sensor with Superior accuracy for all your sensors why is that so important?

The accuracy of the course improves the performance of your current onboard equipment such as Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar and Autopilots. The accurate heading information enables you to track a more accurate course, saving time, fuel and money on every trip;

• Connected to your Furuno radar, real echo tracks are easier to see. This helps enormously in determining the movements of your own ship and the movements of other ships around you. You get accurate speed and course data.
• Connected to your Fish Finder, the SCX-20 satellite compass ensures that you have accurate swell compensation so you can see a seabed without noice of waves. Caused by the condition of the sea. You will get a very good presentation on your NavNet TZtouch / TZtouch2 / or TZtouch3
• When connected to your Sonar, you have stable accurate roll and pitch information
  but also heave information from your sonar

The SCX-21 measures the boat's forward Y-axis speed over the ground like a normal GPS. But because the sensor also knows how the boat rolls, thumps and hoists - and because specifying the size and location of the boat is part of the installation process - it can also control left-right X-axis speeds on the bow and stern determine.

You can also set the SCX 21 to deliver 3-axis speed at the height you prefer, such as at your boat's waterline. This is very useful, for example, if you bump into a floating dock that is hard to see from the helm.

Delivery includes:

• SCX-21 Satellite Compass
• including pole mount kit
• 15 m Cable NMEA0183 Antenna cable
• 12-24VDC/0.2.1A

The SCX-21 Satellite Compass is easy to install and effortlessly connects to existing Furuno navigation equipment and is even suitable for very small boats that need a good course.

This new technology delivers much more than comparable sensors, has a very attractive price and a lot of installation flexibility.

Sail360 expects that the SCX21 will eventually also be mounted on boats that are not even equipped with Furuno equipment because of the accuracy, flexible installation options and very small dimensions.

The SCX-21 is the perfect solution for complex ship installations where the view of satellites is sometimes obstructed.

On some vessels interference occurs caused by signal blockage this occurs when a Satellite Compass receives a signal from paths other than direct line of sight, such as when the view of satellites is obscured, or when the signal is reflected off of a bulkhead, mast, or other obstruction. The multipath phenomenon can significantly reduce the performance of Satellite Compasses and has been an ongoing issue for marine electronics installers .Because the SCX-21has four antennes this problem is reduced to a minimum / zero. 

An SCX-20 satellite compass is also available, which is for the NMEA 2000 network, Please have a look here
