FOREWORD  
A Word to the Owner of the IF-NMEASC  
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO IF-NMEASC Interface Unit. We are confident you  
will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.  
For 60 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality marine  
electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network  
of agents and dealers.  
This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environ-  
ment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and

Features  
The IF-NMEASC is a dedicated interface unit for the SC-30 Satellite Compass. It receives NMEA  
®
2000 * format heading, pitch, roll and GPS position data from the SC-30, converts them to NMEA  
0183 format data and outputs the converted data to external equipment.  
• Input port: One NMEA 2000 format port  
• Four output ports: NMEA 0183x2, AD-10x1, Analog (pitch and roll)x1  
• Offsets for heading, pitch and roll  
*: NMEA 2000 is a registered trademark of the National Marine Electronics Association USA.

• Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.  
• Locate the unit away from places subject to rain or water splash.  
• Keep the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.  
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside its cabinet.  
• The location should be well ventilated.  
• Observe the maintenance space mentioned in the outline drawing at the back of this manual  
and the compass safe distances in the safety instructions.  
• Fix the unit with four φ3x10 self-tapping screws (supplied).
