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. The system always compares GPS heading with rate sensor heading. If the difference between two exceeds the preset value, an alarm is generated. The system needs abou

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. If you release the finger from ENT key first, Main menu appears. This procedure is the same as SC-60/120. TEC MENU HDG SETUP MONITOR COMPASS R MONITOR R-CALIB

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. COMPASS MASK-EL : 05° GPS DELAY : 0.220 SEC TIME CONST : 01 SEC SDEV-S : 0.0016 SDEV-C : 0.0069 CHK NEW SV : 0.20 Fig.4 COMPASS display 3) R MONITOR display “Rate sensor Monitor” d

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. R-CALIB S1 : +0.0% S2 : +0.0% S3 : +0.0% Fig.6

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. An alarm is generated according to SHIFT CONT setting. In the example below, an alarm is generated when Roll sensor has four consecutive errors. YAW LIMIT: Used to detect Yaw output error. Success

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. ALARMS ALARM MODE : STOP BUZZER FREQ : 2.075 kHz Fig. 10 8) ANALOG display This menu is used to test and compensate the motion sensor output signal. Set the desired angle on the ANGLE line and the set angle data is output from “ROLL” and “PITCH

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. Note that the sectors are painted even when no heading loss problem occurs. Bar graph: Shows tracking error r

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. CAUTION! Take care to avoid short-circuit of the battery. This could create a burn or fire hazard. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or an incinerator; this may ca

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.

2) CPU board (Display unit) To upgrade the program on the CPU board; 1. Connect the serial port of the PC to J15 on MAIN board in the processor unit. 2. Turn on the PC. Do not as yet turn on the SC-50/110. 3. Click the SCUP.bat file in the SC-50/110 program file. 4. Turn on the SC-50/110 after the message “TARGET POWER ON” on the PC screen. 5. “NOW LOADING” appears on the SC-50/110 display unit, while “Now Erasing,” and “xxx percent completed” appear during program upgrade on the PC scre
