Detailed description

The Raymarine Cyclone 6' open array radar beam antenna (E70630) is an open array radar solution designed for navigation and safety at sea. Part of the Cyclone series, this 6-foot model is positioned as a choice for vessels requiring improved range and target separation compared to compact radar domes. It integrates Doppler detection capabilities, providing essential analysis of moving targets for collision avoidance. This antenna is supplied with a pedestal and requires the use of the VCM100 voltage converter module (E70648) for operation.

Design and technical integration

With an antenna length of 1945 mm and a maximum rotation diameter of 1969 mm, the Cyclone 6' antenna is designed for installation on masts or radar arches. The pedestal features four M10 mounting points. Cable routing options include a rear exit or through-mounting, offering installation flexibility. The Cyclone series is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays requiring a specific software version to access advanced features such as ARPA target acquisition and Doppler data. Technical documentation highlights requirements for compass safe distances and general radar positioning to optimize performance and minimize interference.

Positioning within the Raymarine range

The Cyclone 6' open array radar beam antenna fits within Raymarine’s open array radar range, complementing smaller and larger size options available. While it shares characteristics with the Cyclone Pro version, the technical specifications detailed here focus on the basic features of the Cyclone series. This 6-foot configuration offers a balance between installation compactness and radar performance, particularly regarding angular resolution and target detection capability at various distances. It represents an alternative to Quantum radar domes or open array systems from competing brands such as Garmin Fantom or B&G Halo, emphasizing integration within the Raymarine ecosystem and Doppler features.

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine Cyclone 6' Doppler radar antenna »

The Raymarine Cyclone 6' open-array radar antenna is a strategic choice for owners of medium to large vessels, whether bluewater sailboats or motor yachts. Its 6-foot open-array format delivers superior angular resolution and extended detection range compared to compact dome radars, which is critical for long-range target identification and echo separation in dense traffic or low-visibility conditions.

The integrated Doppler functionality is a major asset, enabling instant classification of approaching or receding targets via intuitive color coding. This capability is particularly relevant for collision avoidance, offering faster response than traditional ARPA systems that require manual or semi-automatic acquisition. For full integration, a compatible Raymarine multifunction display such as the Axiom series with the appropriate software version is required to fully exploit Doppler and ARPA capabilities.

Installing this antenna requires careful planning due to its dimensions (1945 mm long) and the need to mount the VCM100 voltage converter module (E70648), typically sold separately or as a mandatory accessory, in a dry and protected environment. Cable routing, with rear or through-hull options, simplifies aesthetic and functional integration. Special attention must be paid to compass safe distances, even though modern radars are less disruptive. This model is less suited to small craft or sailboats where the mast cannot support such a span, where a Quantum dome radar would be more appropriate. It targets those seeking a performance-to-footprint compromise for demanding navigation.
