Raymarine Cyclone Radar w/3 Open Array & 15M Cable

Description

The Raymarine Cyclone Radar with 3 Foot Open Array and 15 m Cable is a solid-state CHIRP pulse-compression open-array radar system for compatible Raymarine multifunction displays. It combines a 55W Cyclone pedestal, three-foot rotating antenna array, and 15 m cable package to provide close-range and longer-range radar awareness, Doppler target highlighting, Bird Mode, and fast scanner rotation. It requires a compatible Raymarine RayNet display and correctly designed radar installation.

The three-foot open array provides a 3.5-degree horizontal beamwidth, while the Cyclone scanner supports rotation speeds up to 60 RPM. The maximum 72 NM instrumented range is manufacturer-rated; practical target detection depends on mounting height, target size, sea state, weather, radar settings, antenna obstruction, and local conditions. The supplied 15 m cable must be verified against the full scanner-to-display cable route before purchase.

Key Specifications

• Solid-state CHIRP pulse-compression marine radar with three-foot open array.
• Includes Cyclone radar pedestal, three-foot radiator array, and 15 m radar cable package.
• Uses 55W solid-state radar output with a maximum instrumented range of up to 72 NM.
• Provides approximately 3.5-degree horizontal beamwidth for open-array target separation.
• Supports Doppler target highlighting, Bird Mode, ARPA tracking, guard zones, and radar-overlay functions when system requirements are met.
• Supports rotation speeds up to 60 RPM for fast target refresh.
• Requires a compatible Raymarine MFD and RayNet Ethernet connection for radar display and control.
• Operates from 10.2V to 31.2V DC and has IPX6 weather protection.

Radar Integration

The Cyclone scanner requires a compatible Raymarine Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom 2, Axiom Pro, or other approved RayNet multifunction display. RayNet Ethernet carries radar video and control data; SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 can provide compatible heading, GPS, AIS, autopilot, and other vessel-sensor data, but it is not the radar-video connection.

ARPA and radar overlay require compatible heading and position data where applicable. Doppler processing can help highlight moving targets, and Bird Mode can assist with locating bird activity, subject to radar settings, target movement, scanner installation, weather, and sea conditions. Radar is a navigation aid and does not replace a proper lookout, safe speed, official charts, local notices, or collision-regulation compliance.

Installation Considerations

Mount the pedestal and three-foot rotating array on a rigid, level platform at a practical height above the waterline. Keep the scanner clear of crew areas, masts, rigging, antennas, lights, exhaust, and other obstructions, and align it parallel to the waterline. Maintain manufacturer-specified personnel safe distance and compass-safe distance. Route the supplied 15 m cable away from heat, chafe, bilge water, high-current cables, and moving equipment. Radar installation and commissioning should be completed by a qualified marine-electronics technician.

Warranty and Saltwater Care

Raymarine warranty coverage varies by region, distributor, purchase documentation, product registration, installation method, and intended use. Confirm the applicable local warranty terms, exclusions, registration requirements, and service process before purchase.

The scanner is designed for marine exposure and has IPX6 protection, but an IP rating addresses water ingress rather than immunity from salt spray or galvanic corrosion. Rinse salt deposits with fresh water where appropriate, avoid high-pressure spray at connectors, inspect the radiator, pedestal, cable glands, fasteners, and mounting platform regularly, and use compatible marine-grade hardware plus manufacturer-approved isolation methods to reduce corrosion risk.

Before Ordering

Confirm compatible Raymarine MFD support, RayNet Ethernet connection, suitability of the included 15 m cable route, 10.2V to 31.2V power supply, three-foot array rotation clearance, mounting-platform strength, mounting height, personnel and compass-safe-distance requirements, heading and GPS source for ARPA or radar overlay, optional AIS integration, and qualified installation requirements before purchase.
