  • Page 5: Overview

    1. Overview The satellite compass, SC-50/110 calculates the heading by using the carrier signal of the GPS satellite signals. The system also calculates the heading with three rate sensors. When the satellite signal is blocked, the system outputs the heading data based on the rate sensor signal for a maximum of 5 minutes.
  • Page 6: Maintenance Menu

    2. Maintenance Menu The system provides TEC menu or Maintenance menu for servicing. To show TEC menu, press and hold down MENU and ENT keys simultaneously until the menu appears after three beeps. It takes about 8 seconds to hear the third beep. Release the finger from MENU key, and then ENT key.

    2) COMPASS display MASK-EL is used to set a minimum elevation angle of the satellite. The satellite of which elevation angle is lower than MASK-EL is not used for heading calculation. Default: 5 degrees. DO NOT change GPS DELAY, TIME CONST, SDEV-S, SDEV-C, and CHK NEW SV. MASK-EL : 05 °...
  • Page 8: R-Calib Display

    4) R-CALIB display R-CALIB (Rate sensor Calibration) is used to enter the calibration value of the rate sensor at factory. It is not necessary to change this value when the rate sensor is replaced with new one. However, the value on top of the original sensor is written on top of the replacement sensor for future service.
  • Page 9: Rate Err Display

    5) RATE ERR display This menu sets the level to trigger the heading error alarms; NO HEADING OUTPUT and RATE ERROR. The system compares the output of the angular rate sensor with one obtained by the GPS signal. In the following example, an error is detected when the difference is 2.0º or more.
  • Page 10: Alarm Display

    7) ALARM display This menu sets the ALARM port signal. When ALARM MODE is set to “STOP,” the alarm signal is not sent out after acknowledgement. When selected “Continue,” the system continues to output the alarm signal. 8) ANALOG display This menu is used to test and compensate the motion sensor output signal.
  • Page 11 The display consists of four indications; a circular graph which shows direction where the tracking error rate is the highest, a bar graph which shows tracking error rates in 12 directions, mutlipath indexes, and elapsed time. Circular graph: Shows the relation of 12 directions to the bow. The direction of the highest tracking error rate and its opposite direction are painted.
  • Page 12: Message Display

    10) MESSAGE display Error messages appear in the display. If RATE ERROR! appears, first check Installation Setup menu for correct setting: “Mounting” method and “Direction.” • NO HEADING OUTPUT ! • HEADING ERROR ! • RATE ERROR ! (YAW) 11) REC MONI menu The REC MONI display, Figure 15 shows whether the system works normally or not.
  • Page 13: Replacement Of Battery

    3. Replacement of Battery The processor unit has a battery which backs up the RAM contents when the power is removed. When the voltage of the battery drops to 2.5 V, the message “BATTERY!” appears on the screen. To check the message, press [MENU] key and choose “MESSAGE.” The lifetime of the batteries is 3 to 5 years.
  • Page 14: Program Upgrade

    5. Program Upgrade The three programs are used for the SC-50/110. Two programs are used in the processor unit and one program is in the display unit. The program numbers are tabulated below. Note that the program number of SC-50 is the same as SC-110, but they are different. The program for SC-50 cannot be overwritten by the one for SC-110 in the field and vise versa.
