Features
The SC-60 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, and video plotter
•
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
•
Provides all necessary functions as a GPS navigator.
iv
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The SC-60 consists of an antenna, a display unit and a processor unit. The
antenna is available in a low-profile radome type antenna accommodating three
antenna/receiver unit, or discrete type. The tri-antenna system helps reduce the
influence of ship's motion (rolling).

1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
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.

2.1 Mounting Considerations
2.1.1 SC-series antenna unit
General
•
Keep the length of antenna cable in mind when selecting a mounting location.
The cable comes in lengths of 15 meters (standard supply), or 30 m or 50 m
(optional lengths).
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.
Mast
SC-series Antenna
Example of antenna installed above all superstr uct ures
Radar Antenna
Bridge
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.
NOTICE

2. INSTALLATION
•
The horizontal separation between the antenna and masts must be as follows:
•
The field of view above the antenna should be as shown below, ±80° against
zenith. To avoid reflections from masts and the like, locate the antenna well
away from the shadows of the radar mast, etc.

•
Locate the units away from air conditioner vents.
•
Keep the units out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside
their cabinets.

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. Fasten the antenna unit to the platform with four sets of M10 hex. bolts,
spring washers and flat washers, orienting it as shown below. (The bow mark
(Ì) on the antenna should face the bow.) The torque for the hex. bolts
should be between 19.6-24.5 Nm.
