Safety Instructions for the Operator Safety Instructions for the Installer
WARNINGWARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is emitting
smoke or fire.
Continued use can cause fatal damage to
the equipment. Contact a FURUNO agent
for service.
Do not place liquid-filled containers on
the top of the processor unit.
Fire or electrical shock may result if the
liquid enters the equipment.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can damage the
equipment and cause fire.
CAUTIONCAUTION
No one navigation device should ever
be solely replied upon for the navigation
of a vessel.
Always confirm position against all available aids to navigation (incl. nautical charts),
for safety of vessel and crew.
WARNINGWARNING
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Do not install the equipment where it
may get wet from rain or water splash.
Water in the equipment can cause fire,
electrical shock or damage to the equipment.

FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the FURUNO SC-50
THD Satellite Compass. (Hereafter, for sake of brevity, we refer to the SC-50 as
Satellite Compass.) We are confident you will discover why the FURUNO name
has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable
reputation for quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to
excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.
Your satellite compass is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous
demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its
intended function unless properly installed and maintained. Please carefully read
and follow the operation, installation and maintenance procedures set forth in
this manual.
We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are
achieving our purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.
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).
i
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The SC-50 consists of an antenna, a display unit and a processor unit. The
tri-antenna system accommodates three antennas/receiver units and is available
in a low-profile radome type or open type. The tri-antenna system helps reduce
the influence of ship's motion (rolling).

Installing the antenna above superstructures
•
The antenna must be mounted above all other structures on the vessel to
obtain an unobstructed view of the satellites regardless of vessel heading.
Failure to do so will cause shadows and multipath reflection problems.

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.

prevent birds from alighting on the cover. If it is more convenient to attach
them before fixing the antenna unit to the mounting location, do step 9
before fixing the antenna unit.
NOTICE
Fasten the antenna to the mounting
location lastly if it is more convenient
to connect the antenna cable before
mounting the antenna unit.
1. Prepare a mounting platform (wood, steel or aluminum) in accordance with
the illustration shown below. If corrosive material is used, take necessary
anti-corrosion measures.
Note: When drilling holes in the platform, be sure they are parallel with the
fore-and-aft line.
2. Orient the unit so the two lines on the base is facing the bow and then fasten
the antenna unit to the platform with four sets of M10 hex. bolts, spring

Satellite tracking status display
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.
