Magnetics

Boreas uses FOG sensors to calculate heading; therefore, its heading is not corrupted by stray and changing magnetic fields. However, FOG sensors can still be affected by magnetic fields, which are strong and in close proximity. It is recommended that Boreas is not mounted directly on or closely adjacent to electric motors, solenoids and high current pulsed wiring. Magnetic Fields stronger than 2 Gauss at the surface of the unit will effect performance.
