Simrad HALO24 24″ Pulse Compression Radome Radar

Description

Watch moving targets and nearby traffic with the Simrad HALO24, a 24-inch solid-state radome that combines VelocityTrack Doppler target coloring with fast sweep speeds up to 60 RPM. The compact 25W scanner suits center consoles, cruisers, sailboats, and fishing boats that need radar coverage without the physical clearance required by an open array. Want quick radar updates during harbor exits, foggy mornings, or nighttime returns? The HALO24 provides pulse-compression radar, dual-range capability, and Ethernet integration for compatible Simrad displays.

Key Specifications

• Simrad HALO24 24-inch pulse-compression radome radar, part number 000-14542-001.
• 25W solid-state radar with VelocityTrack Doppler technology.
• Up to 48 NM instrumented range and approximately 20-foot minimum range.
• 3.9° horizontal beamwidth and 22° vertical beamwidth.
• Rotation speed up to 60 RPM, including supported dual-range modes.
• Supports advanced ARPA tracking for up to 10 targets and VelocityTrack color-coded target indication.
• Uses high-speed marine Ethernet for radar video and can integrate with NMEA 2000 vessel data.
• 9V–31.2V DC input, 27W active draw, 6.5W standby draw, IPX6 rating, and approximately 14.9 lb (6.75 kg) weight.
• Designed for installations rated to wind speeds up to 100 knots when installed to manufacturer requirements.

Integration

The HALO24 requires a compatible Simrad display and Ethernet connection for radar control and video. NMEA 2000 can provide GPS, heading, AIS, autopilot, and other sensor data, but it does not carry radar video.

VelocityTrack Doppler can help distinguish approaching from diverging targets through color cues. ARPA and radar overlay require compatible heading and position data. The 48 NM rating is instrumented range; actual detection depends on target size, scanner height, weather, rain, sea clutter, radar configuration, and installation conditions.

Installation Notes

Install the radome on a stable, level mount with unobstructed rotation and practical elevation. Keep it away from personnel, antennas, masts, rigging, lights, exhaust, and other structures that can create shadowing or reflected returns. Protect the power and Ethernet runs from heat, chafe, standing water, high-current conductors, and moving equipment.

Use the specified power protection, cable sizes, mounting hardware, and safe-distance guidance from Simrad. Final network setup, heading alignment, and radar commissioning should be performed by a qualified marine-electronics installer.

Before Ordering

Confirm compatible Simrad display support, available Ethernet connection, NMEA 2000 sensor integration, 9V–31.2V DC power capacity, cable lengths, mounting clearance, platform strength, and heading/GPS requirements for ARPA or radar overlay.
