Description
The Raymarine Magnum 12kW Pedestal (E70487)fromNomadic Supply Company® needs to be paired with a Raymarine Magnum High-Performance open radar array for a complete radar system. The Raymarine Magnum 12kW Pedestal (E70487) is compatible with either a 4′ or 6′ antenna array. It offers a maximum range of up to 96 nm, ideal for blue water vessels. The perfect companion to Raymarine’s award-winning Axiom® and Axiom Pro multifunction navigation displays (MFD) running LightHouse 3. Magnum is also backward compatible with legacy models including LightHouse 2-based a, c, e, eS and gS-Series MFDs, C-Series Widescreen and E-Series Widescreen MFDs, E-Series Classic, and G-Series Multifunction Displays.
Raymarine Magnum 12kW Pedestal (E70487) Features:
- Superior Bird Mode: target birds with greater clarity up to 10 nm, locating flocks of birds with Magnum helps anglers find schooling baitfish faster and with less fuel consumption
- Enhanced Radar Imaging: beam sharpening technology, delivering better than 1-degree bearing resolution for more detailed target separation, map-like coastal detail, and superior long-range performance
- Best-in-Class Target Tracking: delivers better situational awareness with fully automatic MARPA target acquisition and tracking and makes use of Raymarine’s Evolution 9-axis heading sensor technology to deliver real-time, accurate target plots
- True Trails: this feature allows you to see a historical “wake” behind every moving contact, making it even easier to interpret the movement of other vessels and make smart maneuvering decisions to pass safely
- Real-Time Heading Updates: connect Magnum with Axiom and LightHouse 3 and experience uninterrupted radar target imagery when making course changes which allow the radar position display to rotate freely as needed, without the need to refresh the entire display
Magnum high-performance open-array radars bring long-range performance and unmatched small target radar imaging to Raymarine multifunction navigation displays. Employing many of the same radar technologies trusted by the United States Coast Guard, Magnum offers enhanced target tracking and reliable performance, all packaged in a sleek open-array pedestal built to withstand the elements.Magnum is available in 4kW or 12kW power output options and with either a four-foot or six-foot antenna array option. It offers a maximum range up to 96nm for 12kW models – ideal for blue water vessels – and up to 72nm for 4kW models. The perfect companion to Raymarine’s award-winning Axiom and Axiom Pro multifunction navigation displays (MFD) running LightHouse 3, Magnum is also backward compatible with legacy models including:
- LightHouse 2-based a, c, e, eS and gS-Series MFDs
- C-Series Widescreen and E-Series Widescreen MFDs
- E-Series Classic, G-Series Multifunction Displays
*Note: Not all Magnum features are available on all legacy MFDs.
Raymarine Magnum 12kW Pedestal (E70487) Features:
- For Digital Open Array radar scanners, the power connections on the power and data digital cable MUST be connected to the VCM100Vage Converter Module
- All power connections between the VCM100 and its power source must be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power connection
- The connection from the output of the VCM100 to the digital radar does not require a fuse or circuit breaker
- If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit (fitted to the DC distribution panel, for example), you MUST fit an in-line breaker or fuse to the positive wire of the power cable
- The Emergency stop feature is designed such that when the connected switch forms a closed circuit, the VCM’s 48V DC power supply will switch OFF (effectively shutting down the open array pedestal). In contrast, the switch located on the back side of the pedestal is simply intended to enable/disable rotation of and transmission via the open array. It is generally recommended that a breaker or switch be installed and dedicated to supplying power to the VCM and that it be switched OFF (after placing in standby and turning OFF) when not needed for extended periods
Superior Bird ModeBuilding upon Raymarine’s already exceptional bird identification technology, we have further advanced Magnum’s Bird Mode feature to target birds with greater clarity up to 10nm. Locating flocks of birds with Magnum helps anglers find schooling baitfish faster and with less fuel consumption.Enhanced Radar ImagingMagnum radar also features Raymarine beam sharpening technology, delivering better than 1-degree bearing resolution for more detailed target separation, map-like coastal detail, and superior long-range performance.Best in Class Target TrackingMagnum delivers better situational awareness with fully automatic MARPA target acquisition and tracking. Magnum also makes use of Raymarine’s Evolution 9-axis heading sensor technology to deliver real-time, accurate target plots.True TrailsMagnum features True Trails target history. The True Trails features enables you to see a historical “wake” behind every moving contact. This additional information makes it even easier to interpret the motion of other vessels and make smart maneuvering decisions to pass safely.Real-Time Heading UpdatesConnect Magnum with Axiom and LightHouse 3 and experience uninterrupted radar target imagery when making course changes. Real Time Heading updates allow the radar position display to rotate freely as-needed, without the need to refresh the entire display.
