RAYMARINE: Innovative Marine Electronics

RAYMARINE, a British subsidiary of FLIR Systems (Teledyne), is a major player in marine electronics for recreational and professional boats. Founded in 1923, the brand is known for its Axiom multifunction displays, Quantum CHIRP technology radars, Evolution autopilots, and its lighthouse operating system. RAYMARINE equips racing sailboats, luxury yachts, and fishing boats, offering an intuitive interface and proven performance at sea. Skysat masters the integration of these solutions to optimize onboard navigation and safety.

Multifunction Displays and Chartplotters

RAYMARINE multifunction displays centralize navigation, radar, sonar, AIS, and alarms on a fluid touchscreen interface. The LightHouse OS allows for extensive customization and seamless NMEA 2000/SeaTalkNG network integration.

• Axiom Series: High-definition touchscreen displays from 7" to 16" with quad-core processor for simultaneous multiple displays. Compatible with Quantum radar, CHIRP sonar, and Navionics/LightHouse Charts.
• Element Series: Compact GPS/fishfinder plotters for small vessels. Simplified interface with preloaded charts and Wi-Fi compatibility for easy updates.
• Network Integration: Data sharing between displays via Ethernet or SeaTalkNG. Remote display on tablets and smartphones via the RAYMARINE app.

Radars and Detection Systems

RAYMARINE radars use CHIRP technology for enhanced detection of weak targets and precise discrimination, even in rough seas. Compact domes mount easily on arches or masts.

• Quantum Series (CHIRP Radar): Solid-state radars without magnetrons, offering instant detection, low power consumption, and a range of up to 48 nautical miles. MARPA and VelocityTrack modes for tracking moving targets.
• Magnum Series: High-power magnetron radars for large vessels requiring extended range and optimal discrimination in congested environments.
• Advanced Features: Bird Mode for locating fishing grounds, Guard Zone for collision alarms, and Doppler for identifying approaching targets.

Autopilots and Steering Systems

RAYMARINE autopilots ensure precise course holding and reduce crew fatigue. Evolution technology integrates inertial sensors for instant adaptation to sea conditions.

• Evolution EV-Series: Autopilots with a 9-axis gyro compass sensor and adaptive algorithms. Automatic learning of the boat's behavior for continuous steering optimization.
• SPX Series: Hydraulic and mechanical systems for sailboats and motorboats. Compatible with wireless controls and integration with Axiom displays for steering on programmed routes.
• Smart Modes: Windvane for maintaining wind angle, Auto-Tack for automatic tacks, and Dodge for temporary avoidance maneuvers.

Fishfinders and Underwater Imaging

RAYMARINE fishfinders offer detailed visualization of the seabed, structures, and fish using CHIRP, DownVision, and SideVision technologies. This data is displayed in real-time on multifunction displays.

• RealVision 3D: Three-dimensional imaging of the seabed combining high-frequency CHIRP, DownVision, and SideVision for a realistic representation of the underwater environment.
• CHIRP Sonar: Wideband CHIRP technology offering better target separation and precise species identification. High and low frequency modes for depth adaptation.
• Network Fishfinders: CP100, CP200, and CP470 modules connect via Ethernet for data sharing among all onboard displays.

AIS, VHF, and Communication

RAYMARINE offers integrated AIS and VHF systems to enhance safety and communication at sea. Displaying AIS targets directly on multifunction displays simplifies radar watch.

• AIS650/700: Class B AIS transponders with reception of Class A/B targets and broadcasting of the vessel's position. Seamless integration on charts for visual identification of other vessels.
• Ray Series VHF: Fixed VHF radios with integrated DSC for automatic distress calls. Voice control and NMEA integration for displaying GPS information on the VHF screen.
• AIS SART: AIS distress beacons for signaling in case of man overboard or vessel abandonment. Range of several nautical miles for quick location by rescue services.

💡 Skysat Tip

When installing a RAYMARINE system, opt for a complete SeaTalkNG/NMEA 2000 network architecture to fully leverage integration features. Check the compatibility of charts (Navionics, C-MAP, LightHouse Charts) with your navigation area. For Evolution autopilots, careful calibration after installation ensures optimal steering. Plan for GPS redundancy and a stabilized power supply for critical equipment.
