Frequently Asked Questions
What is the YQ-50F magnetic compass suitable for?
The YQ-50F is designed for small craft such as sailboats, center consoles, and recreational powerboats up to 20 meters. It provides reliable magnetic heading information for coastal and inland navigation.
Does the compass require a power source?
The compass itself is magnetic and works without power. However, the built-in illumination for nighttime visibility requires a 12V DC connection. If you do not wire it, the compass will still function.
How do I calibrate the compass?
The YQ-50F includes internal compensation magnets. To adjust for deviation, turn the vessel in a safe area and adjust the magnets using a non-magnetic screwdriver until the reading matches known headings.
Is the compass waterproof?
Yes, the housing has an IPX6 water resistance rating, making it resistant to sea spray and rain. However, it should not be submerged.
