  • Page 8: Mounting Considerations

    General considerations Mount the sensor above radar mast Like in the figure below, mount the SC-30 sensor above a radar mast. This provides an unob- structed path between the sensor and the satellite, regardless of vessel heading. Follow the pro- cedure on the next page to choose an installation site.
  • Page 9 • Separate the SC-30 at least three meters from an open-type radar antenna. • If the SC-30 absolutely cannot be separated at least three meters from an open-type radar an- tenna, install it at least 80 cm above the top of the radar antenna.
  • Page 10 Separate the SC-30 as far as possible from communication antennas. CONDITION 4: Select a stable location, no resonance location by engine or waves Install the SC-30 in a stable location. The SC-30 contains highly sensitive GPS and angular speed sensors. Therefore, install it where shock, vibration, etc. are minimal.
  • Page 11 The deck is flat and metallic, or the area around the installation site is metallic • If metallic surface is wider than the area of the top view of the SC-30, install the SC-30 at least 800 mm above the deck.

  • Page 13: Mounting Procedure

    1. MOUNTING Mounting Procedure "Bird-repellent fixtures" (option) can be attached to the sensor cover to prevent birds from alighting on the cover. If it is more convenient to attach them before mounting the sensor, do step 7 first. 1. As shown in the figure below, weld a platform (local supply) for which to mount the sensor. The thickness of the platform should be max.

  • Page 15: Wiring

    WIRING NMEA 2000 Network Connection The SC-30 connects to the devices in an NMEA 2000 network with a drop cable, which is con- nected to a backbone cable w/T-type connectors. The backbone cable can be light or heavy type. Attach a terminator at both ends of the backbone cable. Use a Micro-C connector to connect to the devices.

  • Page 16: Nmea 2000 I/O Data

    NMEA 2000 I/O DATA The SC-30 handles the NMEA 2000 I/O data sentences listed below. The LEN (Load Equivalency Number) is 10. (LEN is the amount of current a device draws from the NMEA 2000 network. 1 LEN = 50mA.)

    SC-30 directly from the power source. If heading data is not being output, first check the SC-30's breaker at the power source and the check if a fuse in the power cable has blown. If it has blown, find out the cause before replacing the fuse. If it blows again after replacement, request service.

    • Check that the cable (MJ-A10SPF0016-060C (6m)) is used. (If power is fed through a trunk line, the feeder cable shall be no longer than 6 m). • If power to the SC-30 is fed directly from the ship's mains, check breaker switch on mains switchboard and fuse in power cable.
