Compass safe distance
The unit outputs electromagnetic interference that can cause inaccurate readings on a nearby
compass. To prevent compass inaccuracy, the unit must be mounted far enough away so the
interference does not aect compass readings. For minimum compass safe distance, refer to the
technical specications.
Wi-Fi
It is important to test the Wi-Fi performance before the location of the unit is decided.
Construction material (steel, aluminum or carbon) and heavy structure might aect Wi-Fi
performance.
The following guidelines apply:
• Select a location where there is a clear, direct line of sight between Wi-Fi connected units.
• Keep the distance between Wi-Fi units as short as possible.
• Mount the unit at least 1 m (3 ft) away from equipment that might generate interference.
GPS
It is important to test the GPS performance before the location of the unit is decided.
Construction material (steel, aluminum or carbon) and heavy structure might aect GPS
performance. Avoid a mounting location where metal obstacles block the view of the sky.
A well placed external GPS module can be added to overcome poor performance.

¼ Note: Consider the lateral swinging if mounting the GPS sensor high above the sea level. Roll and
pitch might give false positions and aect the true directional movement.
