BASELINES

The SCX-20 and SCX-21 are designed with simplicity in mind

ANTENNA 3 ANTENNA 4 and can be mounted virtually anywhere on the vessel.

Utilizing four separate GNSS Antennas for the ultimate in

responsiveness, the SCX-20 and SCX-21 set a new standard for

reliable and accurate heading for all of your marine electronics.

Traditionally, a Satellite Compass™ calculates heading using one

baseline between two antennas; the SCX-20/21’s four antennas can

calculate heading information using any one of the six baselines

drawn between the four antennas.

The unprecedented quad-antenna design of the SCX-20 and SCX-

21 makes them capable of calculating extremely accurate heading,

pitch, roll, and heave information. They are the perfect heading

solution for complex vessel installations where the view of satellites

may sometimes be obstructed. The SCX-20 is a perfect companion unit for the NAVpilot-300.
 Connect the SCX-20 to NavNet TZtouch MFD’s for
highly accurate heading data!

EXPERIENCE SUPERIOR ACCURACY

The SCX-20 and SCX-21 enhance the performance of on-board equipment such as Radar, Fish Finders, Sonar, and Autopilots. Accurate
heading information empowers your NAVpilot to keep a better course, saving time, fuel, and money on every voyage; meanwhile, precise
pitch, roll, and heave information stabilizes the display for many Furuno Fish Finders and Sonars, allowing for an accurate presentation even
in the roughest of seas.

TRUE MOTION TARGET TRAILS

R A DA R / PLOT TE R

True echo trails are available when the SCX-20 or SCX-21 is connected to your Furuno
Radar, helping to determine own ship’s movement as well as the movement of other vessels.
Accurate speed and heading data ensures that target trails are displayed smoothly and
accurately, without the jagged, zig-zag appearance common to compasses with a higher
degree of deviation.

HEAVING COMPENSATION
FI S H FI N D E R

Even in heavy seas, accurate heave compensation from SCX-20 or SCX-21 enable Fish
OFF ON
Finders such as the FCV-1150 or NavNet TZtouch/TZtouch2/TZtouch3 to show you an
unwavering presentation of the seabed, without the undulations caused by sea conditions.

PITCH & ROLL COMPENSATION

SONAR

Accurate pitch and roll information allows Furuno Sonar systems to display a steady image on
the screen, even in foul weather.
