The Furuno SC33 Satellite Compass delivers highly accurate attitude information for marine navigation equipment including radar, plotters, autopilots, fish finders, and sonar systems. This compact all-in-one system provides precise heading, roll, pitch, and heave data along with GPS position, speed over ground (SOG), course over ground (COG), and rate of turn (ROT) information.
Advanced Two-Antenna Design
The SC33 employs a revolutionary dual GNSS antenna system combined with a 3-axis rate gyro and acceleration sensors to calculate highly accurate roll and pitch data. This innovative configuration eliminates the need for a third sensor while maintaining exceptional precision. Advanced digital signal processing techniques compute heading data with ±0.4° RMS accuracy for heading, roll, and pitch measurements.
Key Features:
- Dual GNSS antenna satellite compass with integrated rate sensors
- ±0.4° RMS accuracy for heading, roll, and pitch measurements
- Position accuracy of 5.0m (GPS) or 3.0m (GPS + SBAS)
- Fast time to first fix: 60 seconds typical
- NMEA2000 certified interface with Micro-C pigtail connector
- Provides pitch, roll, and heave compensation data
- Improved resistance to multi-path interference, shock, and vibration
- Tri-axis speed and direction output via PGN 130578
- Compatible with NavPilot 300 and TZtouch2 systems
- Includes 6-meter Micro-C male/female NMEA2000 drop cable
The compact GNSS antenna dome and built-in processor make the SC33 suitable for installation on any vessel type. The flexible pigtail cable design allows for easy routing in challenging spaces, while the NMEA2000 interface ensures simple integration with existing marine electronics. Optional IF-NMEASC interface unit available for NMEA0183, AD10, and contact closure compatibility.
