Prix : 6638.51

This open antenna radar signals moving targets in different colors and provides excellent target detection at both short and long-range distances, even in fog or rain.

HIGH-POWER Radar

This 50-watt radar has a range ranging from 6 meters to 133 km (72 nautical miles), even with fog or rain. It offers rotation speeds of 24 RPM to reduce power consumption and 48 RPM so that the screen updates quickly.

HIGH-RESOLITY Radar

The horizontal beam width of 1.8 degrees provides a high-resolution image and the high antenna gain allows even weak targets to be detected at a considerable distance.

Motionscope technology

MotionScope uses the Doppler effect to detect moving targets and highlight them in different colors so that you can surround other boats or navigate in adverse weather conditions, or towards fishing points where the birds feed on the surface.

Intuitive operation

This radar does not have any complex user configuration to deal with, so it is easy to install it and start using it.

Size of the objectives

Adjust the size of the objects that appear in the radar image.

Auto bird gain

It locates flocks of birds on the surface of the water, where schools of fish are likely to be found.

Echo tracking

A historical "track" is reflected on the screen that helps to quickly and easily identify moving targets and possible collision threats.

Dual scale

The simple radar antenna has the ability to provide split-screen images on the plotter, both short- and long-range.

Compatibility with dual radars

Using a dual radar provides redundancy and the possibility of extracting data from one of the two different radar sources in each display unit of the boat.

Dynamic automatic gain

Gain levels are automatically adjusted to the optimal settings for ports, areas near the coast and high seas

Dynamic sea filter

The gain automatically adjusts the sea filter to calm, medium or chopped sea conditions.

Radar overlay

Overlay radar images on the plotter map page. You can add an optional autopilot or course sensor to get the best results (sold separately).

Tracking of marpa objectives

Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) tracks up to 10 selected targets, which helps track other boats and avoid collisions.

Guard zone

You can adjust the security zone and receive an alarm when an object enters it.

Vrm and ebl

Variable range markers (VRM) and electronic heading lines (EBL) allow you to quickly measure distance and direction with respect to boats and land.

FAQs

What personal safety gear should be used during installation?

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

How should cables passing through the mounting surface be sealed?

Apply marine sealant to any holes where cables pass through to ensure a waterproof seal.

What torque is used for tightening the mounting hardware?

Tighten the hex nuts to 14.7 N-m (11 lbf-ft) to securely fasten the radar to the mounting surface.

Should you use sealant when routing cables through the mounting surface?

Yes, apply marine sealant after routing cables through the hole to ensure a waterproof seal.

Is the ground cable included with the radar unit?

No, the ground cable is not included and must be provided and connected to a water ground location on the boat.

Where should the ground wire be connected?

The ground wire must be connected to a water ground location, not to the battery’s negative terminal.

Where should the radar be mounted on a vessel?

Mount the radar high above the keel line with minimal obstructions, and ensure the vertical beam is above head height.

How do you secure the antenna to the pedestal?

Secure the antenna by tightening the captive hex bolts under the antenna arm to 7.9 N-m (6 lbf-ft.) torque.

Should other electronics be kept at a certain distance from the radar?

Yes, other electronics and cables should be mounted more than 2 meters (6.5 ft.) from the radar beam path.

What is the required power supply voltage range for the radar?

The voltage converter requires an input voltage of 10 to 32 Vdc. This radar is designed to operate safely within this range.

How should the power and network cables be routed?

Cables should not run near moving objects, high-heat sources, through doorways or bilges, and should be secured with appropriate fasteners and sealant.
