Features
The SC-70/SC-130 is a new Satellite Compass™ designed with FURUNO advanced GPS kine-
matic technology. This compass has a wide range of applications for both land and sea vessels.
The main features are:
• Meets the requirement for the following regulations: IMO MSC. 116(73), ISO 22090 Ed 2.0, IMO
A. 694(17), IEC 60945, ISO 22090 Ed 2.0, IEC 61108-1 Ed 2.0, ISO 20672 Ed 1.0, IEC 61924-

IEC 61924-2 Ed 1.0 RESOLUTION MSC. 302(87).
• Can output speed for any set location, allowing monitoring of bow and stern berthing speeds
without the use of optional equipment.
• Perfect for use as a heading sensor for RADAR/ARPA, AIS, ECDIS and scanning SONARs.
• There are no mechanical parts such as gimbals or a rotating motor, thus the compass is free
from routine maintenance.
• Geomagnetism does not affect the compass performance, making it usable on any vessel.
• No need for speed correction, unlike a gyrocompass.
• Short setting time
• Easily integrated into existing ship-board network via Ethernet.
• Remote Maintenance Service (RMS) ready, allowing hassle-free assistance when in port.
• Can be connected using existing antenna cabling (SC-50/60/110/120 only) by adding the op-
tional conversion kit. Note that existing antennas units must be replaced. (Non-IMO type only)
• Uses multiple satellite types, eliminating the problem of not having enough satellites visible.
(Non-IMO type only.)
