How to discard a used battery Some FURUNO products have a battery(ies). To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter on Maintenance. Follow the instructions below if a battery is used. Tape the + and - terminals of bat- tery before disposal to prevent fire, heat generation caused by short circuit.
The voltage rating appears on the inlet of power. A warning label is attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label. If the label is missing or illegible, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement. CAUTION WARNING Observe the following compass safe To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover.
FOREWORD A Word to the Owner of the SC-33 Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO SC-33 Satellite Compass. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability. Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine electronics equipment.

• Separate the SC-33 at least 3 m from an open-type radar antenna. • If the SC-33 cannot be separated at least 3 meter from an open-type radar antenna, install it at least 80 cm above the top of the radar antenna.
Page 12
CONDITION 5: Select a stable location with minimal or no vibrations from engines or waves Install the SC-33 in a stable location. The SC-33 contains highly sensitive GNSS and angular speed sensors. Therefore, try to install it where shock, vibration, etc. are minimal.

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-33, install the SC-33 at least 800 mm above the deck.

1. MOUNTING Mounting Procedure Note 1: The bird-repellent fixtures (optional supply) can be attached to the antenna cover to pre- vent birds from landing on the cover. If it is more convenient to attach the bird-repellent fixtures before securing the antenna unit to the mounting location, do step 6 below before fixing the an- tenna unit.

Using the supplied cable assembly, connect the SC-33 pigtail cable (Micro style connector) to the NMEA2000 network backbone. The SC-33 connects to the devices in an NMEA 2000 network with a drop cable, which is connected to a backbone cable w/T-type connectors. The backbone cable can be light or heavy type.
2. WIRING Guideline for Connecting Follow these guidelines when selecting a mounting location. • Where the cable connectors and CAN bus/NMEA2000 connectors are subjected to moisture or water spray, waterproof the connectors as shown below. 1. Wrap the connection point with a single layer of vinyl tape. 2.
2.2.2 How to connect the Cable Replacement Kit (OP20-50) Use a waterproof relay box (JPBS06) to relay connection when connecting to the SC-33 with the MJ-A10SPF0015-150C/300C cable used in SC-30. 1) Unfasten four washer head screws on the top of the waterproof relay box to remove the cover.
Page 20
2. WIRING 3) Fabricate the FRU-NMEA-PFF-060 cable as follows. 1) On the end of the side without the FRU connector, cut into the one end part of the FRU connector. Expose inner vinyl sheath by approx. 40 mm. Be careful not to damage inner shield and cores.
Page 21
2. WIRING 4) Connect the cables to the waterproof relay box. Connect the CAN cable ( FRU-NMEA-PFF-060 ) included to the cable replacement kit and the cable for SC-30 ( MJ-A10SPF0015-150C/300C ) to the internal terminal box. MJ-A10SPF0015-150C/300C MJ-A10SPF0015-150C/300C FRU-NMEA-PFF-060 FRU-NMEA-PFF-060 Waterproof Relay Box (JPBS06) Waterproof Relay Box (JPBS06)
2. WIRING 2.2.3 How to secure and waterproof the cable connections Cable connection for the waterproof relay box, whether exposed to weather or otherwise, should be waterproofed and secured after making the connection. 1) Wrap the cap with several layers of self-bonding tape (supplied), to reduce the height differ- ence between the cap and the box.

MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE- SHOOTING This chapter provides the information for keeping your unit in good working order. NOTICE Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

APPENDIX 2 WHAT IS SBAS? A satellite based augmentation system, or SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System), is an augmentation system that uses additional messages from satellite broadcasts to support regional and wide area augmentation. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even bet- ter position accuracy, through the GPS error corrections that are widely broadcasted from the geo- stationary satellite.
