Compass safe distance
To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate
distance is maintained from the product.
When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible
distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions.
However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a
compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location for your product, ensure that the
compass is not affected by the product when it is in a powered state.
