Raymarine 4kW Magnum Radar – with 4-Foot Open Array & 15M Cable

Description

Add a traditional magnetron open-array radar to a compatible Raymarine navigation system with the Raymarine Magnum 4 kW Radar and 4-foot Array. The package pairs a 4 kW transmitter with a 4-foot open array and 15-meter cable, giving boaters a narrower 1.85° beam for target separation during offshore passages, fishing runs, and nighttime coastal navigation. Need dual-range radar coverage with a conventional high-power scanner? The Magnum 4 kW supports 24/48 RPM rotation, MARPA tracking, RayNet Ethernet integration, and an instrumented range up to 72 NM.

Key Specifications

• Raymarine Magnum 4 kW magnetron open-array radar with 4-foot antenna and 15-meter cable.
• 4 kW peak magnetron pulse-radar output.
• 4-foot open array with 1.85° horizontal and 25° vertical beamwidth.
• Up to 72 NM instrumented range and approximately 60 ft (18 m) minimum range.
• 24 RPM and 48 RPM rotation modes.
• Supports dual-range radar operation and MARPA tracking for up to 25 targets with compatible navigation data.
• RayNet Ethernet radar networking.
• 10.8V–31.2V DC input, approximately 70W typical draw, 110W maximum draw, and 30W standby draw.
• IPX6 protection, 70-knot wind rating, and approximately 57.3 lb (26 kg) scanner weight.

Integration

The Magnum radar requires a compatible Raymarine MFD for radar control and video display. RayNet Ethernet carries radar video, while SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 can provide compatible GPS, heading, AIS, autopilot, and other vessel-sensor data. MARPA, radar overlay, and north-up or course-up functions require valid heading and position data.

Raymarine identifies Magnum 4 kW as a high-performance open-array radar platform. [902] The 72 NM specification is an instrumented range, not a guaranteed target-detection distance. Antenna height, target size, precipitation, sea state, clutter, radar settings, and installation all affect actual performance.

Installation Notes

Mount the pedestal and 4-foot array on a rigid, level platform with full rotation clearance and adequate structural strength. Keep the scanner clear of personnel, antennas, masts, lights, rigging, exhaust, and structures that can create radar shadow sectors. Plan the supplied 15-meter cable route before installation.

Use correctly sized power wiring, appropriate circuit protection, Raymarine-approved network connections, and protected cable routing. Follow Raymarine safe-distance, compass-separation, mounting-torque, grounding, and bearing-alignment instructions. Professional installation and commissioning are recommended.

Before Ordering

Confirm Raymarine MFD compatibility, RayNet connection availability, 12V/24V power capacity, supplied 15-meter cable-route suitability, 4-foot sweep clearance, radar-mount strength, heading/GPS sensor requirements, and professional installation support before ordering.
