Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine 4kW Magnum radar pedestal »

The Raymarine 4kW Magnum radar pedestal including VCM100 (E70484) is a strategic choice for vessels requiring a high-performance Open Array radar solution. Part of the Magnum range, it features Super High Definition (SHD) digital technology, essential for precise target discrimination and reliable detection, even in harsh weather conditions or at long range. The 4kW power output provides a good balance between performance and power consumption.

The inclusion of the VCM100 voltage converter module is a significant advantage for the installer. It simplifies power wiring, reducing the need for external components and facilitating integration into the vessel’s electrical systems. This pedestal is designed to support a 48-inch beam antenna (sold separately), making it suitable for installations on sturdy masts or arches. It is imperative to consider the overall footprint and weight of the assembly (pedestal + antenna) when planning the mounting location to ensure structural stability. For optimal performance, careful attention must be paid to cable routing and the absence of obstructions within the radar’s sweep field.
