FURUNO SC-50 Satellite Compass

FURUNO SC-50 Satellite Compass

FURUNO SC-50 Satellite Compass  can be used for a wide range of applications for any type of vessel. Radar/ARPA, AIS, ECDIS, scanning sonar and Autopilots can utilize the functions of this compass. As the FURUNO SC-50 uses GPS carrier frequency to determine heading, the performance is not affected by ship's speed, latitude, geomagnetism, etc. Settling time is almost instantaneous and the follow-up performance is excellent, achieving 45°/s (SOLAS HSC Code requires 20°/s as a minimum).

The FURUNO SC-50 Satellite Compass product has reached end of life, but is still being supported. Please contact us for more information and replacement products.
