Initial Settings - Furuno SATELLITE COMPASS SCX20 Operator's Manual

INITIAL SETTINGS

When the unit is powered for the first time, it is in a "cold start" state, meaning there is
no satellite data (almanac data) stored. In this state, the unit searches for, and stores,
satellites to find its heading. This process takes approximately 60 seconds.
If the heading is not found within 30 minutes, the antenna installation location may not
be suitable. Ensure an unobstructed path between the SCX-20 and satellites. Once a
heading has been found, initial settings should be done.
If the installed heading error is found to be 5° or higher, physically turn the antenna
while monitoring the heading indication to reduce the error as much as possible. Er-
rors less than 5° can be adjusted in software.
Initial settings can be done via the NMEA 2000 network with one of the following meth-
ods:
 Access the setting menu of the SCX-20 from compatible equipment
• TZTL12F/TZTL15F/TZT2BB: Software version must be "06.01" or later.
• NAVpilot-300: Software version of the control unit must be "01.07" or later, and
software version of the processor unit must be "01.06" or later.
• TZT12F/TZT16F/TZT19F
See the operator's manual of the equipment used to access the SCX-20 for how to
access the setting menu.
 Connect a PC and setup the SCX-20 using the SC setting tool
You can download the SC setting tool from the quick response
code to the right. For how to use the SC setting tool, see the op-
erator's manual of the SC setting tool (OME-72851).
Note 1: If the SCX-20 is re-booted, re-connection is required to access the SCX-20
menu.
Note 2: This manual provides descriptions for the SCX-20 setting menu that you can
access from the compatible equipment. See the menu tree at the back of this manual
for menu details.
Note 3: This manual uses the TZTL15F for menu examples and screenshots. Dis-
played data, menus and layouts may differ on your equipment.
