Simrad RI-50 HALO radar power supply

The Simrad RI-50 HALO Radar Power Supply is an essential interface and power module designed specifically for Simrad HALO 2000 and HALO 3000 open-array radar systems. Its role is to provide the required electrical power and ensure network connectivity to the radar pedestal.

The RI-50 module has dimensions of 337.0 mm in length, 261 mm in width, and 170 mm in height.

The Simrad RI-50 weighs 1.6 kg (approximately 3.5 lbs).

The RI-50 housing is rated IPX5, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from all directions. This rating makes it suitable for exposed marine installations.

The country of origin for the Simrad RI-50 is Mexico (MX).

The RI-50 belongs to the Simrad HALO radar family, being a key component for the HALO 2000 and HALO 3000 series.

The Harmonized System (HS) code for the RI-50 is 8504.40.9520.

The RI-50 is classified as a main product and is designated as a "Processor/Computer/Ethernet Module" type component within the HALO radar system.

The Simrad RI-50 is specifically compatible with the Simrad HALO 2000 and HALO 3000 open-array radar series.

No, the RI-50 is specifically designed for the Simrad HALO 2000 and HALO 3000 radar series and is not compatible with HALO24 or HALO20+ radars.

No, the Simrad RI-50 is a proprietary component designed exclusively for Simrad radars in the HALO 2000 and HALO 3000 series.

The RI-50 module accepts an input voltage of 12 V DC (with an operating range of 10.8 V to 15.6 V) or 24 V DC (with an operating range of 20 V to 31.2 V).

The RI-50 provides a nominal 50 V DC voltage to the radar pedestal during transmission.

The RI-50’s average power consumption can reach 20 A (20 A nominal, 25 A peak) on 12 V and 24 V DC power systems.

The RI-50 integrates protection against reverse polarity, overvoltage, and undervoltage to ensure the electrical system's safety.

Network connectivity between the RI-50 and the radar is managed via Ethernet, using a specific yellow connector for reliable connection.

Yes, due to its IPX5 rating, the RI-50 housing is designed to withstand water jets and is suitable for exposed marine installations, though additional protection against direct elements is still recommended to extend its lifespan.

Installing the RI-50 module requires specific electrical and network connections and must be performed in accordance with the detailed instructions provided in the Simrad installation manual. It is recommended to hire a professional if you are not familiar with this type of installation.

The RI-50 accepts an input voltage within the following ranges:

For 12 V DC systems: from 10.8 V to 15.6 VFor 24 V DC systems: from 20 V to 31.2 V
