Compass Series · AWARENESS

Compass G2

Essential hazard awareness at the point of work.

The entry point to the Compass Series. Proximity and directional awareness of energized sources, in the worker’s peripheral vision, with very little to configure and nothing to administer across a fleet.

Where Compass G2 fits

Not every crew needs a connected platform on day one. G2 does one thing well: it puts a dependable signal in the worker’s peripheral vision before an energized source is close enough to matter. There is very little to configure and nothing to administer across a fleet.

Capabilities

What Compass G2 does

Proximity and directional alerting

Alerts as the worker approaches an energized source and shows which direction it is in. Urgency rises as the distance closes.

Worn where it gets seen

Mounts on the hard hat brim, in front of the worker’s face. No looking down at a screen or a belt-mounted tool.

Very little to get wrong

Power on, verify against a known source, work. No range to select and no fleet configuration profile to maintain.

Runs alongside the connected models

Unaffected by the consolidated sensitivity release, so G2 and Pro units share one fleet without a second training track.

Mounting

Fits how your crews already work.

Hard hat brim as standard, plus non-brimmed helmet, Petzl Vertex, IDRA 2, adhesive, and SECRA-1 adapters, and hot stick, wrist, and collapsible handheld options.

Questions

Compass G2 questions, answered

Is Compass G2 still available?

Yes. Compass G2 remains on sale and is fully supported alongside Compass Core, Compass Pro, and Compass Pro IS.

Does the consolidated sensitivity release change Compass G2?

No. The consolidated 22-setting sensitivity scale and the two adaptive modes introduced in firmware 1.8.0.0 apply to connected Compass Pro and Compass Pro IS units. Compass G2 is not affected and its alerting behavior does not change.

How is Compass G2 different from Compass Core?

Compass Core is the medium-voltage model in the connected lineup: it covers 2.4 kV to 34.5 kV AC, pairs with Navigator Mobile, and offers two voltage sensitivity settings. Compass G2 stays focused on essential worker-level detection with less to configure.

Where should Compass G2 be worn?

On the brim of a hard hat, centered and forward so the device sits in the wearer’s peripheral vision. For helmets without a traditional brim, use an approved helmet adapter. Incorrect mounting increases false alarms and creates a false sense of detection coverage.

Can Compass G2 be used in flammable gas or vapor atmospheres?

No. Compass Pro IS is the model that carries the UL, CSA, and IEC 60079 intrinsic safety approvals required for classified flammable gas and vapor areas.
