Furuno SCX20 Satellite Compass NMEA2000 Output
Furuno SCX20 Compact Dome Satellite Compass, NMEA2000(R) Certified
Model: SCX20
Utilizing four separate GNSS Antennas for the ultimate in responsiveness, the SCX20 and SCX21 set a new standard for reliable and accurate heading for all of your marine electronics. Traditionally, a Satellite CompassTM calculates heading using one baseline between two antennas; the SCX20/21's four antennas can calculate heading information using any one of the six baselines drawn between the four antennas.
The unprecedented quad-antenna design of the SCX20 and SCX21 makes them capable of calculating extremely accurate heading, pitch, roll, and heave information. They are the perfect heading solution for complex vessel installations where the view of satellites may sometimes be obstructed.
The SCX20 and SCX21 enhance the performance of on-board equipment such as Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar, and Autopilots. Accurate heading information empowers your NAVpilot to keep a better course, saving time, fuel, and money on every voyage; meanwhile, precise pitch, roll, and heave information stabilizes the display for many Furuno Fish Finders and Sonars, allowing for an accurate presentation even in the roughest of seas.
Full NMEA2000 Certification provides plug and play connectivity to any NMEA2000 network. Distribute high-accuracy navigation data as well as air temperature and barometric pressure. Initial Setup and configuration can be done from any Navnet TZT2/TZT3 MFD, Navpilot 300, or use the free Furuno SC Setting Tool PC Software when properly interfaced.
When connected to Furuno SCX20/21, the Radar's echo trails hold steady and clearly depict an accurate echo trail thanks to the SCX20/21's amazing accuracy. Company A's satellite compass fails to uphold a steady heading, making echo trails virtually unintelligible. Company B's heading accuracy fluctuates by +/- 3 with a slower update, causing an echo trail that has a wide zig-zag pattern. Company C's heading accuracy fluctuates by +/- 5 deg with a faster update, causing an echo trail that is indistinguishable and confusing.
