HALO 2004

The Simrad HALO 2004 is a 50W pulse-compression radar system. This power is equivalent to the target detection of a 12kW magnetron radar.

The HALO 2004 radar can detect targets from 6 metres to 72 nautical miles.

The HALO 2004 base dimensions are 337.0 mm x 261 mm x 170 mm.

The 4-foot antenna paired with the HALO 2004 has a beam width of 1.8 degrees. In beam sharpening mode, this width can be reduced to 1.3 degrees for improved target separation.

Yes, it integrates VelocityTrack™ Doppler technology, which color-codes targets based on their movement (approaching or receding), facilitating collision avoidance.

Pulse compression technology enables instant wake-up from standby and a full power-up time of 16 to 25 seconds. It provides excellent detection of targets at both short and long range.

The ZoneTrack™ function allows tracking up to 50 vessels within a defined area, with automatic detection of their heading and speed.

Yes, this radar system offers simultaneous dual-range operation, allowing you to monitor two different distance scales at the same time on a split screen.

The Simrad HALO 2004 is designed to be compatible with modern Simrad multifunction displays (MFD). For optimal compatibility and to ensure all features function correctly, it is recommended to check the specific software requirements of your MFD.

The HALO 2004 is a solid-state radar with pulse compression. This technology offers advantages such as quick startup and a long lifespan compared to magnetron radars.

VelocityTrack™ Doppler technology color-codes targets based on their movement. Approaching targets are displayed in a distinct color from those moving away, allowing users to quickly identify potential collision threats without manually tracking each target.

Yes, with its wide detection range (from 6 meters to 72 nautical miles) and advanced features such as Doppler detection and dual-range capability, the HALO 2004 is perfectly suited for both coastal and offshore navigation.

The HALO 2004 system ships with a RI-50 power supply. It typically requires a 12 V or 24 V DC power supply. Always refer to the installation manual for exact wiring and voltage specifications.

Yes, a 20-meter (65.5-foot) cable is included in the HALO 2004 pack for system connection.

The HALO 2004 offers instant activation from standby mode and a full startup in just 16 to 25 seconds.

Simrad HALO radars feature advanced interference rejection technologies to ensure a clear and stable radar image, even in the presence of other radars nearby or in high-traffic areas.

Yes, HALO radars typically offer several operating modes optimized for different situations, such as harbor mode, offshore mode, weather mode, and bird mode. These modes automatically adjust the radar settings for optimal performance.

Installing the Simrad HALO 2004 requires mounting the pedestal and antenna, connecting the RI-50 power supply, and linking to the boat’s navigation network. While the physical installation can be handled by an experienced user, professional assistance is often recommended for wiring and initial setup to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Yes, Simrad HALO radars, including the HALO 2004, are known for their ability to detect birds, which is a valuable feature for anglers searching for fish schools. The "bird" mode is often available to optimize this detection.
