Hello -
I have a new 23" CRT computer monitor, which degausses itself when turned on. I also have a color laser printer right next to the monitor - about 8 inches.
Since this monitor is so large, hence the degaussing coil is so "strong", can the EMF field damage the printer circuitry? Or a computer?
If so, what's a good distance to keep away from the monitor, for electronic devices and printers? 1 foot? 2 feet?
Thanks for any advice!
-Mike

I don't think so.
Interference is related to the intensity of the signal and the sensitivity of the equipment that can be affected.
Once I designed some audio/digital equipment that was installed about
10" above a High Voltage(3000Volts) 10 KW power transformer. It worked OK because I have eliminated all signal transformers from my board.I wouldn't store floppies or cassette tapes on top of the monitor

Not a problem. The only time the degausser operates is during AC power on. And the field strength is maximumin the middle; 8 inches away and especially to a side, it is too weak to consider.
