Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO SC-30 Satellite Compass. We are confident you
will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
For 60 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine
electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network
of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-
ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed properly. Please
carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for installation.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
Features
The SC-30 Satellite Compass outputs highly accurate heading, GPS position data and speed and
motion data for AIS, ECDIS, ARPA radar, autopilots, etc. Data is output in NMEA 2000®* format,
and with connection of the optional interface unit the data can be converted to NMEA 0183 format.
Settling time is within three minutes and the follow-up performance is an excellent 45°/s.
• Heading accuracy of ±1.0°
• Perfect heading sensor for radar/ARPA, AIS, scanning sonar, etc.
• Outputs accurate heading, position, time, speed, course.
• Pitch and roll output in digital and analog format for ship's motion correction
• Dual antenna system with three axis rate gyro and acceleration sensors
• Data can be output in NMEA 2000 format
• Free from regular maintenance
• Aesthetically pleasing antenna fits nicely on recreational boats

1.2 Mounting Considerations
In addition to the considerations described in this section, keep the length of the sensor cable in
mind when selecting a mounting location.
General considerations
Mount the sensor above radar mast
Like in the figure below, mount the SC-30 sensor above a radar mast. This provides an unob-
structed path between the sensor and the satellite, regardless of vessel heading. Follow the pro-
cedure on the next page to choose an installation site.
Sensor mounted above antennas and structures
If sensor cannot be installed above radar mast
If absolutely impossible to do otherwise, the sensor may be installed below a radar mast. Howev-
er, certain guidelines must be followed to prevent the shading and multipath problems which occur
as shown in the figure below. Follow the procedure on the next page to choose an installation site.

Selecting the installation site
The installation site must satisfy the four conditions described in this section. After choosing the
site, determine installation height, following the procedure in the next section.
CONDITION 1: Locate the SC-30 away from masts that might prevent reception of the GPS
signal
• Install the sensor where the field of view against zenith is at least ±85°. The installation site
should be as high as possible, above masts, etc. which might interfere with reception.
• If the above condition cannot be satisfied, separate the sensor so that the horizontal angle to
the interfering object is less than 10°. Refer to the table below to determine minimum separation
distance.
CONDITION 2: Locate the SC-30 out of Inmarsat and radar beams
• Locate the SC-30 more than 20° above the top of a radar antenna.
• Separate the SC-30 at least three meters from an open-type radar antenna.
• If the SC-30 absolutely cannot be separated at least three meters from an open-type radar an-
tenna, install it at least 80 cm above the top of the radar antenna.
• Separate an Inmarsat B antenna from the SC-30 at least three meters.

Positional relationship between radar antenna and SC-30
- If H2 is at least 1 m and L is more than 3 m, the elevation
angle from the radar should be more than 20°.
- If L is less than 3 m, H1 should be more than 0.8 m.

Separation distance from Inmarsat B antenna
CONDITION 3: Locate the SC-30 away from communication (VHF, etc.) antennas
Separate the SC-30 as far as possible from communication antennas.
CONDITION 4: Select a stable location, no resonance location by engine or waves
Install the SC-30 in a stable location. The SC-30 contains highly sensitive GPS and angular speed
sensors. Therefore, install it where shock, vibration, etc. are minimal.

Installation height
After choosing the installation site, determine the installation height, considering composition of
the deck and surrounding area.
The deck is flat and metallic, or the area around the installation site is metallic
• If metallic surface is wider than the area of the top view of the SC-30, install the SC-30 at least
800 mm above the deck.
The deck is non-metallic (FRP, etc.) and there are no metallic objects around the installa-
tion site
• If mounting surface is non-metallic and there is no radar or Inmarsat antenna in the vicinity,
mount the SC-30 directly on the non-metallic surface. This can be done provided the metallic
material support is smaller than the SC-30. If the SC-30 is to be fixed to a mounting pipe, choose
a site where there is less vibration.

1.3 Mounting Procedure
"Bird-repellent fixtures" (option) can be attached to the sensor cover to prevent birds from alighting
on the cover. If it is more convenient to attach them before mounting the sensor, do step 7 first.
1. As shown in the figure below, weld a platform (local supply) for which to mount the sensor.
The thickness of the platform should be max. 10 mm.
2. Open the cable cover on the underside of the sensor.

3. Slip the rubber bushing (supplied) onto the sensor cable at the location shown below. Attach
the cable to the connector. Make a loop in the cable to prevent cable fatigue.
4. Tighten the cable clamp and close the cable cover.
5. Orient the sensor so the bow mark (on the underside of the narrower end) on its underside is
facing the bow. Fasten the sensor to the platform with hex. bolts, spring washers and flat
washers. Use M10x25 bolts if the thickness of the platform is less than 5 mm. For greater
thickness use M10x30 bolts. The torque for the hex. bolts should be 20±2Nm.
Note: For the sensor cable passed through the mounting pipe, fill the gap between the pipe
and the cable with silicone sealant, for waterproofing.
6. Coat exposed parts of bolts and wash-
ers with silicone sealant.
7. If you have the optional "bird-repellent
fixtures", attach them to the sensor sim-
ilar to as shown in the figure below. (You
may change the pattern as desired.)
8. Fix the sensor cable to the pipe at suit-
able intervals with the cable ties (sup-
plied).

2. WIRING
2.1 NMEA 2000 Network Connection
The SC-30 connects to the devices in an NMEA 2000 network with a drop cable, which is con-
nected to a backbone cable w/T-type connectors. The backbone cable can be light or heavy type.
Attach a terminator at both ends of the backbone cable. Use a Micro-C connector to connect to
the devices. We recommended that power from the NMEA 2000 network be input at the center of
the backbone cable. For connection to the IF-NMEA SC Interface Unit, see its operator's manual.
Use DeviceNet MIcro-C type T-connector (5 pin), cable and terminator.

4. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
This chapter provides the information for keeping your unit in good working order.
4.1 Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good performance. Following the procedures in the table be-
low will help maintain performance.
Preventive maintenance
4.2 Fuse Replacement
Two 1A fuses are contained in the fuse holder in the power cable MJ-A10SPF0017-xxx, which is
used when supplying power to the SC-30 directly from the power source. If heading data is not
being output, first check the SC-30's breaker at the power source and the check if a fuse in the
power cable has blown. If it has blown, find out the cause before replacing the fuse. If it blows
again after replacement, request service.
Item Check point Remedy
Cabling • Visually check cabling for
signs of wear and damage.
• Check that connector is firm-
ly fastened.
• Replace damaged cables.
• Reconnect cable if it has loosened.
Cover Cleanliness of cover Dust can be removed with a soft cloth.
Do not use chemical based cleaners
to clean the cover, as they can re-
move paint and markings and deform
the cover.
Item Type Code No.

NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive
sealant or contact spray to coating
or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents
that can damage coating and plastic
parts, especially plastic connectors.
