12kW Magnum with 48" beam antenna and 15m RayNet radar cable

The Raymarine 12 kW Magnum pack (reference T70412) is a high-performance marine radar system. It includes a 12 kW Magnum radar and a 48-inch beam antenna, designed for precise target detection and detailed radar imaging. This system meets the needs of navigation requiring advanced environmental monitoring.

The "12kW" rating refers to the radar's transmit power. Higher power provides increased detection range and better target identification, even in adverse weather conditions or at long range.

The "48'' open-array antenna" specification indicates the length of the radar open-array antenna, which is 48 inches (approximately 1.22 meters). An antenna of this size provides superior angular resolution, improving target separation and radar image clarity.

The VCM100 module (Voltage Converter Module) is a critical component included in the kit. It is responsible for converting the vessel's supply voltage to meet the specific requirements of the radar pedestal, ensuring stable and correct operation of the system.

The RayNet cable is Raymarine's proprietary Ethernet cable, designed for fast and reliable networking of marine electronic equipment. This pack includes a 15-metre RayNet cable, allowing you to connect the radar to the vessel's Raymarine network and compatible multifunction displays.

The Magnum radar provides high-performance target detection and detailed radar imaging. It is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays running LightHouse software, enabling access to all advanced radar features for comprehensive environmental monitoring.

This radar is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) running LightHouse software. Ensure your MFD has the required software version to access all radar features.

Yes, the Raymarine Magnum system is designed to support the connection of multiple radar scanners. This feature is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays that support the management of multiple radar sources.

Yes, the Magnum radar is compatible with MARPA (Mini-Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) and ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) target acquisition functions. For these functions to be operational, a heading data source (compass) is required on the vessel's network.

Yes, the Magnum radar is designed to integrate easily with an existing Raymarine network. With the included 15-meter RayNet cable, it can be directly connected to a RayNet switch or a compatible multifunction display, enabling radar data sharing with other network devices.

Yes, Raymarine strongly recommends installation by a certified professional. A certified installation ensures not only proper operation and system safety, but also allows you to benefit from extended product warranty.

The T70412 pack includes the 12kW Magnum radar pedestal, the 48-inch beam antenna, the VCM100 voltage converter module, and a 15-meter RayNet radar cable. The mounting hardware required for securing the antenna to the pedestal and the pedestal to the mounting platform is also included.

The VCM100 module has specific mounting requirements to ensure proper operation and longevity. It must be installed in a dry, protected location, following the detailed instructions provided in the Magnum radar installation manual.

When selecting the radar antenna's mounting location, it is critical to ensure a clear line of sight with no major obstructions that could block the radar beam. The antenna must also be installed at a safe minimum distance from the vessel's magnetic compasses and on a mounting surface robust enough to support its weight and environmental stresses.

The Magnum radar connects to the network via a RayNet cable. This proprietary Raymarine Ethernet cable ensures fast and reliable data transmission between the radar and multifunction displays or other Raymarine network devices.

Yes, if you want to use the advanced target acquisition functions of MARPA/ARPA, a precise heading data source (such as an electronic compass or heading sensor) is absolutely necessary. These data allow the system to calculate the trajectory and speed of targets.

To benefit from Raymarine’s extended product warranty, it is recommended to have your 12kW Magnum radar installed by a Raymarine-certified professional. Registering your product on Raymarine’s website after a certified installation is also a key step.

The T70412 kit includes the following items:
