« Technical analysis of the Raymarine Cyclone 55W radar with 4-foot antenna »

The Raymarine Cyclone 55-watt radar with a 4-foot open-array antenna is a robust solution for vessels requiring precise radar monitoring and advanced features. Its 55W power, combined with a 4-foot antenna, delivers range and resolution suitable for medium to large sailboats and coastal workboats. The integrated Doppler capability is a major advantage, enabling effective differentiation between moving and fixed targets, which is critical for collision avoidance in high-traffic zones or reduced visibility.

Installing this system requires strategic positioning of the antenna to minimize obstructions and comply with compass-safe distances, as well as mounting the VCM100 (Voltage Converter Module). The latter simplifies power management and integration into the RayNet network, which is compatible with LightHouse multifunction displays. Planning the routing of the 15-meter RayNet cable is essential to ensure signal integrity. Compared to traditional radomes, the open-array antenna offers better target separation and increased range, making it a choice for superior radar performance. It is imperative to verify the compatibility of the multifunction display with the software to fully utilize features such as ARPA or radar overlay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the transmit power of this Cyclone radar?

The Raymarine Cyclone T70492 radar provides a transmit power of 55 Watts. This power is designed for effective target detection in various maritime conditions.

What is the size of the antenna supplied with this radar?

This radar pack includes a 4-foot (approximately 1.22-meter) slotted waveguide antenna. This antenna size is suitable for effective detection range and modern radar performance.

What type of cable is included for the radar connection?

The radar comes with a RayNet radar cable. This cable provides Ethernet connectivity between the radar pedestal and compatible Raymarine multifunction displays.

What is the length of the RayNet cable supplied with the radar?

A 15-metre RayNet radar cable is included in the Cyclone T70492 radar pack. This length is usually sufficient for most onboard installations.

What is the VCM100 module included with the radar used for?

The VCM100 module (Voltage Converter Module) is a key component supplied with the Cyclone radar. It manages the pedestal's power supply, converting the vessel's voltage (12 V or 24 V DC) to the power required by the radar.

Does the Cyclone radar integrate Doppler technology?

Yes, the Cyclone radar integrates Doppler capabilities. This technology enables more intuitive identification of moving targets, distinguishing them from stationary targets. It enhances situational awareness by quickly signaling potential collision threats.

Which Raymarine multifunction displays is this radar compatible with?

The Raymarine Cyclone radar is compatible with the following Raymarine multifunction displays, running LightHouse 3.9 software or later:
