How to fix Furuno SC-60 Compass when it cannot turn on?
If your Furuno Compass won't turn on, there are several possible causes: a loose power connector on the processor unit (firmly connect it), a power supply failure (check the power supply), or a blown fuse (check the fuse).
What to do if heading output from SC-60 Furuno Compass doesn't appear on external equipment?
If the heading output from the SC-60 Furuno Compass does not appear on external equipment, it could be due to a loose connection between the SC-60 and the external equipment (firmly fasten the connector) or sensor trouble (run the diagnostic test1 to determine the cause).
What causes 'GPS DATA ERROR!' on Furuno Compass and how to fix it?
The 'GPS DATA ERROR!' on your Furuno Compass indicates that GPS data from the GPS receiver in the processor unit has been lost for one minute, stopping heading output. The heading indicator will show '- - -'. Conduct a diagnostic test and check if NG appears for the results for GPS receivers GPS1, GPS2, and GPS3.
What does 'BATTERY!' mean on my Furuno Compass and how to resolve it?
The 'BATTERY!' message on your Furuno Compass means the voltage of the battery in the display unit or processor unit may be low. Open the Message Display to see which battery’s voltage is low and have a qualified technician replace the battery.
Why Furuno SC-60 heading indication changes randomly or doesn't change?
If the heading indication of your Furuno Compass changes randomly when the ship is at anchor or does not change when the ship moves, it could be due to sensor trouble. Run the diagnostic test2 to determine the cause.
How to troubleshoot 'GPS NO FIX!' error on Furuno SC-60?
The 'GPS NO FIX!' error on your Furuno Compass indicates there is no GPS data. Check the antenna cable.
What does 'ABORTING!' mean on Furuno SC-60 Compass and how to fix it?
The 'ABORTING!' message on your Furuno Compass means the GPS heading error continues for one minute, possibly because the satellite cannot be acquired due to an unfavorable environment. Check for obstructions.
What to do if Furuno Compass shows 'NO HEADING OUTPUT!'?
If your Furuno Compass displays 'NO HEADING OUTPUT!', it means the GPS heading error has continued for five minutes. In this case heading output is stopped and the heading indication shows '- - -'. Press any key to try to restore normal operation.
What does 'ABORTING CALC!' mean on Furuno SC-60?
The 'ABORTING CALC!' message on your Furuno Compass indicates that the GPS signal was interrupted for one minute. Press any key to try to restore normal operation.
What does 'BATTERY ALM!(DISP)' mean on Furuno SC-60 Compass?
The 'BATTERY ALM!(DISP)' message on your Furuno Compass indicates that the voltage of the battery in the display unit is low. Have the battery replaced at your earliest convenience.
