Simrad NSS12 evo3S – MFD Radar Bundle with HALO20+

Description

Upgrade a larger Simrad helm with the NSS12 evo3S and HALO20+ Radar Bundle, pairing a 12-inch multifunction display with a compact Doppler radar dome. The larger display provides more room for charts, sonar, radar, and data pages, while the HALO20+ adds fast 60 RPM scanning and target coloring for traffic and weather awareness during cruising, offshore fishing, or night operation. Need independent radar ranges without giving up screen space at the helm? This bundle combines 36 NM solid-state radar coverage with the networking capacity of the NSS12 evo3S platform.

Key Specifications

• Simrad NSS12 evo3S MFD and HALO20+ radar bundle.
• 12-inch multifunction display with radar, chartplotting, sonar, networking, and touchscreen/keypad controls.
• 20-inch HALO20+ solid-state pulse-compression radar radome.
• 25W radar output with up to 36 NM instrumented range.
• 4.9° horizontal beamwidth and 25° vertical beamwidth.
• Up to 60 RPM rotation and VelocityTrack Doppler target coloring.
• Independent dual-range radar support.
• MARPA tracking for up to 10 targets when compatible heading and position inputs are available.
• Dual Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and USB connections.
• 12V/24V DC input; listed draw is approximately 20W for radar and 28W for the MFD during operation.
• IPX6 radar protection, IPX7 MFD protection, and a 100-knot radar wind rating.

Integration

The bundle includes the MFD and radar scanner, but a complete installation can also require maps, a heading sensor, AIS data source, NMEA 2000 backbone, Ethernet cabling, optional sonar transducer, and correctly sized power circuits. Radar video uses Ethernet, while NMEA 2000 provides compatible navigation and vessel sensor data.

VelocityTrack helps show relative target movement through color-coded radar returns. MARPA and radar overlay depend on accurate heading and position data. The 36 NM figure is an instrumented range, not a guaranteed detection range; radar performance varies with scanner height, target characteristics, rain, sea conditions, clutter, and installation quality.

Installation Notes

Mount the HALO20+ dome on a rigid, level platform with clear rotation and minimal obstruction from masts, antennas, lights, rigging, exhaust, or deck structures. Install the 12-inch MFD at a protected helm position with suitable viewing angle, mounting depth, cable clearance, and access to controls.

Route Ethernet, NMEA 2000, power, and optional sonar wiring away from heat, chafe, bilge water, high-current cables, and moving machinery. Follow Simrad mounting, fusing, grounding, radar-alignment, and software-setup requirements before regular operation.

Before Ordering

Confirm MFD mounting space, radar-mount strength, 20-inch dome clearance, 12V/24V supply capacity, dual Ethernet/NMEA 2000 requirements, desired chart and sonar configuration, and heading/GPS/AIS sensor availability before ordering.
