Product Description
High Precision Gyrocompass North Finder System for True North Detection and Direction Measurement
The NF701A Fiber Optic Gyro North Finder is a rugged directional survey instrument for underground mining and tunnel boring operations. Its FOG-based north seeking technology provides reliable azimuth data in magnetically noisy underground environments where conventional compasses fail, operating flawlessly from -40 to +70 deg C.
