Features
The SC-50 is a new satellite compass designed with FURUNO’s advanced GPS
kinematic technology. This compass finds a wide range of applications for any
type of ships and mobile units at sea or on land.
The main features are
• Perfect for use as heading sensor for Radar/ARPA, AIS, ECDIS, scanning
sonar
• There are no mechanical parts such as gimbals or rotating motor, thus the
compass is free from routine maintenance
• The performance is not affected by geomagnetism thus it is suitable for use on
any vessel
• No need for speed correction like a gyrocompass
• Short settling time - three minutes
• Meets the following requirements: IMO MSC. 116(73), ISO/FDIS 22090-3,
IMO A. 694(17), IEC 60945 (2002-08), IEC 61162 (2000).

Installing the antenna below superstructures
If it is not possible to mount the
antenna above all superstructures on
the vessel, as shown in the illustration
above, shading and multipath
problems may occur on at least one
heading, and possibly more. To
possibly avoid those problems,
observe the guidelines in this section.
If the antenna is installed below any
superstructure, the installation must
be done over a two-day period, following
the procedure in the service manual.
At least 12 hours are required to capture
tracking data to measure multipath indexes
and locate areas of shading.

When the system is turned on for the first time it is in the “cold-start” state, which
means there is no satellite data (almanac data) stored. In this condition it takes
about 12 minutes to find heading. When heading is found the display shows
“OK.” The timer at the top left corner of the screen shows time since power on. If
OK is not displayed within 30 minutes after turning on the power, the antenna
mounting location may not be suitable. Suspect that the number of satellites in
view is less than five due to signal blockage. (For the open-type antenna, loosen
the nut at the center of the antenna unit to adjust antenna orientation.) Resolve
the problem and then recheck tracking status.
If the heading error is between 5° and 10°, adjust orientation of the antenna unit,
while watching the heading indication on the display.

2. OPERATION
2.7 GPS Setup
The GPS SETUP menu smoothes position and course, averages speed, applies
position offset, and deactivates unhealthy satellites.
When the DOP (Dilution of Precision, the index for position-fixing accuracy) or
receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change randomly, even if the
vessel at anchor. This change can be smoothed by averaging a number of GPS
fixes. The setting range is from 0 (no smoothing) to 999 seconds. The higher the
setting the more smoothing. However, too high a setting slows updating of
position.
SMOOTH S/C (Smoothing speed/course)
Ship’s speed and course are directly measured by receiving GPS satellite
signals, independent of positions. The data varies with receiving conditions and
other factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing.
The higher the setting the more that speed and course are smoothed. If the
setting is too high, however, the follow-up to actual values gets slower. The
setting range is from 0 (no smoothing) to 999 seconds.
LAT/LON OFFSET (L/L position offset)
2-8
If GPS fixes are erroneous while at anchor, enter a position offset to compensate
for position error. Consult a nautical chart to determine latitude and longitude
differences between the chart and GPS display. Enter that value as the offset.
DISABLE SV (Disable satellite)
IEC
AD-10
Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in its Almanac,
which contains general orbital data about all GPS satellites. Using this
information, the GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning
satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may
not contain this information. If you hear of an inoperative satellite you can
disable it manually. Enter satellite number in two digits and then press the [ENT]
key. To restore a satellite, enter “00”.

2. OPERATION
Outpu t sentence limitation
The number of sentences which can be output depends on baud rate and output
interval settings. The maximum number of characters per each data sentences
are shown in the table below and the total number of characters must satisfy the
formula shown below. The number of characters which can be output “N” is
calculated by the following formula
*: Output is 1 s if interval set is shorter than 1 s.
For example, the baud rate is 4800 bps, interval is 100 ms (= 0.1 s). Therefore,
the number of characters is N <0.083 x 0.1(s) x 4800(bps) = 39.4.
Then, the number of characters which can be output is 39. For sentences
(sentences not having an asterisk in the table) where the output interval is
variable the number of characters is as shown in the table, however sentences
where the output interval is not smaller than 1 s (asterisk-marked sentences in
table) the number of characters which can be output is “number of characters in
table” x “setting interval.”
For the above settings the following applies:
•
If both HDT and HDM are selected the total number of characters is 19+19 =
38. Since the count is less than 39 both can be selected.
2-12
•
If both HDT and VTG are selected the total number of characters is
19+46x0.1=23.6. Since the count is less than 39 both can be selected.
•
If HDT, HDM and VTG are selected the total number of characters is
19+19+46x0.1=42.6. In this case, the message “SENTENCE OVERLOAD”
appears.

6. Principle of Satellite Compass
Own ship's heading can be determined by decoding the data in the carrier frequency in
addition to ordinary GPS parameters. In principle, a pair of two antennas A1(ref) and
A2(fore), each connected with an associated GPS engine and processor, are installed along
the ship's fore-and-aft line. GPS systems at A1 and A2 calculate the range and azimuth to
the satellite. Difference in range between A1 and A2 is ∆λ + nλ where λ is 19 cm. “n” is
automatically found during the initialization stage by receiving three satellites. A fraction of a
carrier wavelength, ∆λ, is processed by FURUNO’s advanced kinematic technology in
geographical survey, thus determining a vector (range and orientation) A1 to A2.
In reality, a third antenna is used to reduce the influence of pitch, roll and yaw, and five
satellites are processed to process 3D data. If the GPS signal is blocked by a tall building or
the vessel is under a bridge, the 3-axis solid-state angular rate gyros in the processor unit
take place of the satellite compass, maintaining the current heading continuously.

7. What is WAAS?
WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based
Augmentation System) navigation system. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS
users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. Two more SBAS
providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite
Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay
Service) for Europe. All provides will be compatible with one another, thus providing
“seamless” position fixes to SBAS users.
At the time of this software release, only WAAS is operational. During the developmental
period in other areas, which may last for several years, there is no guarantee of the
accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal. Furuno will accept no
responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the
user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment while using
the SBAS signal.
Note: This manual uses “WAAS” when referring to any SBAS provider.
