Product Detail
The Furuno SCX20 is a compact dome satellite compass, certified by NMEA2000®. Model SCX20 uses four separate GNSS antennas, which brings ultimate responsiveness. It sets a new standard for reliable and accurate heading for your marine electronics. Unlike traditional satellite compasses that calculate heading with one baseline between two antennas, the SCX20 can use any of the six baselines between its four antennas to calculate heading information. Its quad - antenna design allows it to calculate extremely accurate heading, pitch, roll, and heave data. It's ideal for complex vessel installations where satellite view might be blocked. The SCX20 enhances on - board equipment like Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar, and Autopilots. Accurate heading helps your NAVpilot steer a better course, saving time, fuel, and money. Precise pitch, roll, and heave data stabilizes the display of Furuno Fish Finders and Sonars, even in rough seas. With full NMEA2000 Certification, it offers plug - and - play connectivity to any NMEA2000 network. It can distribute high - accuracy navigation data, air temperature, and barometric pressure. You can do the initial setup and configuration from any Navnet TZT2/TZT3 MFD, Navpilot 300, or use the free Furuno SC Setting Tool PC Software when properly interfaced. When connected to the Radar, the SCX20's amazing accuracy makes echo trails clear and steady, outperforming competitors. Specifications include NMEA2000 data type, 12 - 24 VDC power usage, and a receiver that supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, or SBAS. The box includes the SCX20 Compass, a cable, screws, gaskets, a roof mount fixture, and an operator's manual.
Using the Furuno SCX20 is easy. First, make sure you have all the parts in the box, like the compass, cable, and mounting fixtures. Connect the SCX20 to your NMEA2000 network using the provided cable. You can set it up from your Navnet TZT2/TZT3 MFD, Navpilot 300, or use the free Furuno SC Setting Tool PC Software. When mounting, follow the installation notice carefully to ensure a proper fit. For maintenance, keep the compass clean and dry. Check the cables regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. If you notice any problems with the heading accuracy or other functions, refer to the operator's manual. It will help you troubleshoot common issues. And remember, using accurate heading information can save you time and money on your voyages.
