Furuno SC110 Satellite Compass

Overview Furuno SC110 Satellite Compass

Furuno SC110 Satellite Compass is a satellite compass designed to provide stable heading and motion data without the upkeep of a traditional gyrocompass. According to the source data, it uses Tri-antenna GPS Kinematic + 3-axis rate sensor and delivers Typical 0.5°.

This type of sensor is used to feed radar, AIS, ECDIS, sonar, and autopilot systems with heading, course, and motion information. The source also notes a settling time of 3 to 4 minutes and outputs for connected bridge equipment.

Key Features

• Four display modes: Compass Rose, Steering, Nav Data, Heading Mode
• Technology: Tri-antenna GPS Kinematic + 3-axis rate sensor.
• Heading Accuracy: Typical 0.5°.
• Settling Time: 3 to 4 minutes.
• Display Unit: 4.5-inch backlit Silver Bright LCD.

Applications

Used where stable heading output is needed for radar overlays, AIS presentation, ECDIS, autopilot input, and sonar stabilization. It is relevant for commercial boats, larger cruising vessels, and bridge systems that need more consistent heading data than a magnetic compass can provide.

It can also serve as a primary heading source on non-compulsory vessels or as a backup heading reference in larger installations.
