Simrad GO9 XSE – Radar Bundle HALO20+ & Active Imaging 3-in-1

Description

Bring radar, charting, and fishfinding together in a compact Simrad helm package with the GO9 XSE HALO20+ and Active Imaging 3-in-1 Bundle. The 9-inch touchscreen MFD combines with a 20-inch Doppler radar dome and Active Imaging transducer, giving anglers and coastal boaters an integrated setup for navigation, radar awareness, and sonar viewing. Need a smaller display package that can still watch close traffic and distant returns? The HALO20+ adds VelocityTrack target coloring, independent dual-range operation, and scan speeds up to 60 RPM.

Key Specifications

• Simrad GO9 XSE bundle with HALO20+ radar and Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer.
• 9-inch touchscreen multifunction display with chartplotting, sonar, GPS, Wi-Fi, and radar support.
• 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 radar rotation with VelocityTrack Doppler target coloring.
• Supports independent dual-range operation and MARPA tracking for up to 10 targets with compatible navigation data.
• Includes Active Imaging 3-in-1 sonar transducer for CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan functions.
• Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
• 12V/24V DC operation; radar draw is approximately 20W and MFD draw is approximately 12W under listed operating conditions.
• IPX6 radar protection, IPX7 MFD protection, and a 100-knot wind rating for the radar dome.

Integration

The bundle includes the MFD, radar, and transducer, but installation may still require a suitable NMEA 2000 backbone, Ethernet cable routing, mounting hardware, charts, heading sensor, AIS source, and power wiring. Ethernet carries radar video, while NMEA 2000 distributes compatible heading, GPS, AIS, autopilot, and other sensor information.

VelocityTrack can help highlight relative target movement, while MARPA and radar overlay require valid heading and position data. Sonar performance depends on transducer placement, hull design, water depth, boat speed, interference, and local conditions. These systems support awareness and navigation but do not replace safe boat handling or visual lookout.

Installation Notes

Mount the 20-inch radome on a rigid, level surface with clear rotation and minimal obstruction. Install the GO9 XSE where the screen remains visible and accessible from the helm. Position the Active Imaging transducer according to Simrad guidance, away from turbulence, propeller wash, strakes, and other sonar interference sources.

Use protected power, Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and transducer cable routes. Follow Simrad instructions for circuit protection, safe distances, radar alignment, sonar installation, and software updates. Professional installation is recommended for integrated radar and sonar systems.

Before Ordering

Confirm desired chart coverage, MFD mounting space, radar and transducer mounting options, NMEA 2000/Ethernet requirements, 12V/24V power capacity, heading/GPS/AIS sensor needs, and compatible vessel hull installation before ordering.
