Simrad HALO 2006 Open Array Radar, 50W, 6 ft, 72 nm

Simrad HALO 2006 Open Array Radar

Simrad HALO 2006 Open Array Radar is a powerful and reliable radar system designed for marine applications. With a power output of 50W and a range of 72 nautical miles, it provides accurate and detailed information about surrounding vessels and obstacles.

The physical dimensions of the radar are compact, measuring 324 mm x 429 mm x 339 mm (12.76" x 16.81" x 13.35"), making it easy to install and integrate into your vessel's existing setup. The radar kit weighs 31.6 kg (69.7 lbs), ensuring stability and durability even in rough sea conditions.

In terms of electrical specifications, the radar has a maximum power consumption of 235W (peak, 12V) at maximum wind velocity. Under typical operating conditions, the power consumption averages around 45-60W at zero wind velocity. The recommended fuse rating is 25A for 12V systems or 15A for 24V systems. The radar system can be powered by either a 12V or 24V DC input, with a supply voltage range of 10.8-15V DC for 12V systems and 20-31.2V DC for 24V systems. The pedestal voltage input is 50V DC nominal generated by the RI-50.

The Simrad HALO 2006 Open Array Radar is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C (-13°F - 131°F), ensuring reliable performance in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. It is shock and vibration resistant, meeting the IEC60945 standard. The radar is also waterproof with an IPX6 rating, providing protection against water ingress.

In terms of connectivity options, the radar features an Ethernet port via the RI-50, allowing for easy integration into your vessel's network. It also comes with a 100 Mbit RJ45 adapter to 5-pin yellow connection. However, it does not have NMEA 2000 connectivity. Navigation data, including heading information, is transmitted to the radar over the Ethernet network.

Overall, the Simrad HALO 2006 Open Array Radar is a reliable and feature-rich radar system that provides accurate and detailed information for marine navigation. Its compact size, power efficiency, and durable construction make it an ideal choice for boaters and sailors.
