Detailed description

Designed for next-generation radar systems, the Raymarine Cyclone 3' (E70628) antenna is a key component of the Cyclone series. It is specifically designed to integrate with Cyclone (E70620) and Cyclone Pro (E70621) pedestals, requiring the VCM100 voltage converter module (E70648) for operation. This 3-foot antenna is the most compact option in the Cyclone range, which also includes 4- and 6-foot versions, providing a solution for vessels with limited installation space.

Integration and Advanced Features

The Cyclone 3' antenna enables full use of Cyclone radar capabilities, including Doppler processing for identifying moving targets and ARPA features for automatic tracking, subject to the software requirements of compatible multifunction displays and required data sources. Its design complies with safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (in accordance with health/safety, EMC, and radio spectrum usage requirements), ensuring conformity with Directive 2014/53/EU.

Technical Specifications and Installation

Measuring 1080 mm in total length, this antenna is designed to be mounted on the rotation center of Cyclone pedestals. It features M10 mounting points (4 positions) with a 70 mm spacing, and a mounting area 343 mm wide. The power and data cables must follow a minimum bend radius of 52 mm to ensure connection integrity. Detailed connection information and specifications are available in installation manual 87402 (Rev 8).

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine Cyclone 3' beam antenna »

The Raymarine Cyclone 3' beam antenna is the relevant choice for mid-sized vessels or sailboats where space is a major consideration. Unlike enclosed radomes, this open antenna—even in its 3-foot version—offers superior target discrimination and increased angular resolution, essential for precise detection in high-traffic conditions or low visibility. Its integration into a Cyclone system provides access to Doppler functions, greatly facilitating threat identification and complex situation management when approaching targets.

Installation requires a Cyclone or Cyclone Pro base and the VCM100 module, which means planning the location for these three components. The antenna is secured to the base using four M10 bolts. While aligning the heading line is a standard step for any radar, the procedure is documented and poses no particular difficulty for a qualified installer. It is critical to respect the minimum bend radius of the cables to ensure long-term system reliability. This antenna is particularly well-suited to coastal and offshore navigation where radar performance is critical but mast or arch space is limited, offering an optimal balance between compactness and advanced capabilities.
