FAQ

Q1.How does the sensor determine true north without GPS?
A: The NF1400 uses MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers to measure earth’s rotation angular velocity at multiple positions, self-compensating errors via embedded processing. This allows true north calculation without magnetic sensors or GPS.
 
Q2.What is the typical north-seeking time?
A: North-seeking time is ≤150s (adjustable, with accuracy inversely proportional). For example, 150s achieves 0.2° RMS accuracy.
 
Q3. Can it work in strong magnetic interference?
A: Yes. It relies on MEMS inertial sensors and multi-position earth rotation measurement, avoiding magnetic field dependence. It performs stably in steel structures, vehicles, or electromagnetic noise.
