SCX-21 Multi-GNSS Satellietkompas™NMEA 0183 (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, Galileo) extreme accuracy neccessary for your navigation equipment such as Radar, Fishfinders, Also suitable for others. 1.0 degree heading accuracy and 0.02 degree knot speed accuracy. Read more.
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.
This innovative sensor offers more than just basic product data. The integration of roll, pitch, pitch, heave, and transverse speed sensors means the SCX-21 not only displays heading but also provides a complete picture of the vessel's dynamics. This makes the system ideal for stabilizing radar, fishfinder, and sonar images, allowing it to more accurately distinguish between actual targets and marine clutter.
Whether you operate a recreational boat, a fishing vessel, or a workboat, the SCX-21 is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing navigation systems. Its flexible installation options and compact design make it easy to use on a variety of marine platforms.
Besides its impressive technical specifications, the SCX-21 offers unique added value by providing data beyond the standard product description. The system provides stable and fast tracking, which is crucial for real-time course corrections. This is not only a technical feat, but also offers significant functional added value for any navigator who wants to rely on accurate and consistent information.
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;
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.
Watch the video below for a demonstration of the SCX-21 in a real-world environment and a comparison with other systems:
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.
Besides the technical explanation, it's important to know that the accuracy of this system leads to powerful navigation, fuel savings, and safer vessel management. Integration with radar and other navigation equipment ensures better detection of echo trails in complex situations. This makes the SCX-21 not only a technically advanced product but also a valuable tool for daily use on the open sea.
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.
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.
Conclusion
The FURUNO SCX-21 Multi-GNSS Satellite Compass™ NMEA 0183 offers a powerful combination of precision engineering and innovative sensor technology. This unique approach not only delivers reliable heading data but also integrates seamlessly with your existing navigation systems, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for more than just standard product information.
Sail360 anticipates that the SCX-21 will eventually be installed on boats not equipped with Furuno equipment, thanks to its accuracy, flexible installation options, and very small size.
