Frequently Asked Questions - SC-30 FURUNO
How do I install the Furuno SC-30 satellite compass?
Mount the unit on a flat surface with a clear view of the sky (no obstructions). Use the supplied mounting bracket. Connect the power (10-32 VDC) and NMEA output to your display. Ensure the cable is securely fastened and waterproof connectors are sealed.
What NMEA sentences does the SC-30 output?
The SC-30 outputs standard NMEA 0183 sentences such as HDT (heading true), HPR (heading pitch roll), GGA (GPS fix), and RMC (recommended minimum). It can also output NMEA 2000 via optional adapter.
What is the accuracy of the SC-30?
Heading accuracy is typically ±0.2° with a stable GPS/GLONASS fix. Pitch and roll accuracy is ±0.1°. Update rate is 10 Hz for real-time performance.
How do I calibrate the SC-30?
The SC-30 automatically calibrates on startup. For optimal performance, ensure a clear sky view and wait at least 2 minutes for GPS lock. No manual calibration is required under normal conditions.
What should I do if the SC-30 does not get a GPS fix?
Check the antenna cable for damage or loose connections. Ensure the unit has an unobstructed view of the sky. Verify power supply (10-32 VDC). Wait up to 5 minutes for a cold start. If problem persists, perform a factory reset via the setup menu.
Can the SC-30 interface with my chart plotter?
Yes, the SC-30 outputs standard NMEA 0183 data (4800 baud). Connect the data output wires to your chart plotter's NMEA input. For NMEA 2000 networks, use an optional converter cable (part no. 000-145-123).
What power supply is recommended for the SC-30?
