Introduction
This manual provides how to setup the SATELLITE COMPASS™, using the SC setting tool.
The SC setting tool run on a commercially available PC which is connected to the SATELLITE
COMPASS™through the NMEA2000 network. Use this software for the initial setting after the in-
stallation, setting adjustment or performance check in the maintenance. This software is available
for the SC-33.
This software can be downloaded from FURUNO Tech-Net.
Standards Used in this Manual
Display examples in this manual are taken from a the Windows®7 PC. Menus and settings may
differ slightly depending on your operating system.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1.1 Minimum PC Requirements
The following table shows the minimum specifications required to run the SC setting tool:
1.2 Connection between PC and NMEA2000 Network
Connect the PC and SATELLITE COMPASS™via the NMEA2000 network. Prepare a CAN-USB
converter, and a drop cable for the converter (both items supplied locally), between the PC and
the NMEA2000 backbone.
CAN-USB converter
Prepare either one of the following CAN-USB converters:
• Manufacturer: KVASER, Product name: USBcan II
• Manufacturer: LAWICEL AB, Product name: CANUSB
Note: A software driver is required to use the CAN-USB converter.
• For USB canII: Use the program CD supplied with the CAN-USB converter to install the driver.
When you install the driver, select the appropriate driver according to the OS for your PC.
• For CANUSB: Download the driver for 32 bit OS from the following URL and install it. Even if
you use the PC of a 64 bit OS, you should also install the driver for 32 bit OS.

Drop cable
Prepare the drop cable (type: M12-05BFFM-010/020/060) between the CAN-USB converter and
NMEA2000 backbone. Attach a D-SUB (9 pin) connector to the loose end of the drop cable, re-
ferring to the following table.
1.3 Destination to Save
Download the SC setting tool from FURUNO Tech-Net in advance and save the executable file of
the SC setting tool (file name: "SC_Setting_Tool.exe") in the following location (folder). The SC
setting tool does not require installation.
• For 32 bit OS: C:\Program Files\Furuno\SC_Setting_Tool
• For 64 bit OS: C:\Program Files(x86)\Furuno\SC_Setting_Tool
Note: Create a shortcut for the executable file as required.

2. Turn the power on the SATELLITE COMPASS™that you want to setup.
Note: When multiple SATELLITE COMPASS™are connected in the same NMEA2000 net-
work, the SC setting tool cannot find and connect to the SATELLITE COMPASS™correctly.
Disconnect all SATELLITE COMPASS™except the unit to be setup. Other NMEA2000 devic-
es do not need to be disconnected.
3. Activate the executable file of the SC setting tool (file name: "SC_Setting_Tool.exe") on your

Select Device Select the model number to be connected.
Equipment Identification Select the equipment ID of the SATELLITE COMPASS™to be con-
nected. The default equipment ID is “1”. For the initial setting, select
“1”. If the equipment ID has been changed from the default, you
should select the appropriate equipment ID, according to the set-
ting on the [Sensor Setup] tab (see section 2.3).
NMEA2000 Select Driver Select the driver type. Driver type depends the CAN-USB converter
to be used.
• For CANUSB: Select [CanUSB.dll].

Menu Item Remarks
Disable SV GPS You can ignore satellites by specifying the satellite number with
each positioning system (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS). A
maximum of three satellites can be registered to be ignored.
When you check the [Disable All] checkbox, all satellites of se-
lected positioning system are ignored. In this case, the drop
down list for selecting the satellite number is grayed out.

SV ELEV Adjust the elevation mask angle. This equipment does not track
satellites with an elevation angle lower than the angle set here.
A higher elevation mask angle increases the positioning accura-
cy, but the number of the available satellites may be decreased
and the equipment may not be able to obtain an accurate posi-
tion fix.

CALC-SPD-POSN Y1 Set the bow-stern location for calculating the 3-axis
speed. Ship’s speed can be measured at two locations
in addition to the antenna position. Enter the backward
distance from the reference position (center of the bow)
to the position where you want to measure the ship’s
speed. Normally, enter the bow position (Y1) and stern
position (Y2).
Note: In the default setting, Y1 and Y2 are entered as
follows:
• Y1: 0 m (bow position)
• Y2: 20 m (20 m backward from bow position)
Enter the appropriate value according to the ship’s size,
to improve the accuracy of the 3-axis speed.
CALC-SPD-POSN Y2
CALC-SPD-POSN Z Set the height for calculating the 3-axis speed. Enter the

• [No Use]: Not used for positioning.
• [Pos-Fix]: Used for positioning fix only.
• [Att & Pos Fix]: Used for attitude and positioning fix.
3Vibration Status The vibration and impact test result (OK or NG). This test result indi-
cates that the installation location is appropriate or not.
4Satellite location Shows the available satellites and their elevation, which are detected
by the sensor selected at [Select Antenna]. When the satellite posi-
tion is overlapped, the satellite whose elevation angle is the most
highest is displayed on other satellite. The center of the circle indi-
cates the own ship position and elevation angle “90°”.
The satellite number for each positioning system shows as follows:
• GPS: 1 to 32
• GLONASS: R01 to R24
• Galileo: E01 to E36
• QZSS: 193 to 197
5Elevation mask angle Gray shaded area indicates area for the elevation mask that is set at
[SV ELEV] on the [GNSS Setup] tab. The equipment does not track
the satellite in this area.
6Receiver signal level Shows the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) with the bar graph format, in
descending order of the elevation angle. When the SNR is 40 or
higher, the reception environment is good condition.
