Simrad HALO 300X radar pedestal only

The term "Pedestal Only" indicates that this product includes only the HALO 300X radar pedestal. The open-array antenna (radome), connection cables, and multifunction display (MFD) are sold separately and are required for a complete and functional radar system.

The HALO 300X radar delivers a transmission power of 130W. This power is equivalent to that of a traditional 25 kW magnetron radar, enabling advanced target detection and excellent situational awareness.

The HALO 300X radar can detect targets up to a maximum range of 96 nautical miles, providing extended monitoring of weather conditions and distant maritime traffic.

Thanks to its pulse compression technology, the HALO 300X radar can detect targets with a minimum range of just 6 meters. This is particularly useful for navigation in congested areas such as harbors and marinas.

The HALO 300X integrates pulse compression radar technology. This technology combines the benefits of traditional pulse radars and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars to deliver high resolution at all ranges.

The main advantages of pulse compression technology include:

High-resolution target detection at short and long range.Excellent target separation, even in complex environments.Nearly instant wake-up from standby mode.Significant reduction in noise and interference.Better identification of weak targets.

The HALO 300X radar offers instant wake-up from standby mode, meaning it is ready to operate immediately when you need it. From a full power-on, startup takes between 16 and 25 seconds.

Yes, the HALO 300X radar allows simultaneous dual-range operation. This feature lets you monitor distant weather conditions or far-off traffic while keeping an eye on nearby targets such as channel markers or other vessels.

The HALO 300X offers several predefined user modes to optimize radar settings without manual intervention. These modes include:

Harbour: For optimal detection in congested areas.Offshore: For offshore navigation.Weather: For detecting weather fronts.Bird: To locate bird flocks, indicators of fish.

The "Bird+" mode on the HALO 300X is an advanced feature that concentrates the full 130W power of the radar to locate bird flocks. This allows fishermen to more easily spot areas where fish are concentrated, even at long range.

Yes, the HALO 300X is particularly effective in complex environments. Its pulse compression technology provides high-resolution target detection, even in cluttered areas such as marinas, harbors, or narrow channels, thereby improving navigational safety.

The HALO 300X radar pedestal weighs 20.3 kg. This weight must be considered when planning the installation and selecting the mounting structure.

The HALO 300X radar pedestal is compatible with most modern Simrad multifunction displays (MFD), including the NSS evo3S, NSO evo3S series and certain GO series models (such as the GO XSE/XSR). It is recommended to verify specific compatibility with your Simrad MFD model.

This HALO 300X pedestal is designed to be used with Simrad's open-array HALO series antennas. These antennas are sold separately and are required to complete the radar system.

The HALO 300X radar requires a 12 or 24 V DC (direct current) power supply. Ensure your vessel’s power system can deliver the required voltage and current for stable operation.

Yes, the HALO 300X is designed to integrate easily into an existing Simrad Ethernet network. It connects directly to your Simrad multifunction display or a compatible Ethernet hub via a standard Ethernet cable, enabling fast and reliable radar data communication.

Yes, the HALO 300X pedestal is designed to be mounted on various common structures aboard vessels, including masts, radar arches, or dedicated mounts. Ensure the mounting structure is sufficiently robust to support the weight of the pedestal and antenna.

Installing the HALO 300X radar pedestal, while feasible for experienced DIYers, is recommended to be carried out by a qualified marine technician. This ensures proper installation, secure cable connections, and optimal system configuration for reliable and safe performance.

Yes, to optimize the performance of the HALO 300X radar, it is crucial to position it so that it has a clear 360-degree line of sight. Avoid obstructions such as masts, chimneys, satellite antennas, or other equipment that could block the radar beam and create shadow zones or false echoes. The highest possible mounting position is generally preferred.
