Simrad HALO 300X Radar Pedestal Only – 130W

Description

Upgrade a compatible Simrad open-array radar system with the HALO 300X Pedestal, a 130W solid-state pulse-compression base intended for serious offshore target tracking. It gives owners and installers the flexibility to select a 3-foot, 4-foot, or 6-foot HALO antenna while retaining high-output Doppler performance for vessel traffic, weather returns, and bird activity. Need maximum Simrad HALO range without replacing an entire antenna assembly? The 300X pedestal supports VelocityTrack Doppler, ZoneTrack, Bird Mode+, and an instrumented range up to 96 NM when completed with the required RI-50 interface and compatible components.

Key Specifications

• Simrad HALO 300X high-power radar pedestal only, part number 000-15103-001.
• 130W solid-state pulse-compression radar pedestal.
• Requires a separately purchased compatible Simrad HALO 3-foot, 4-foot, or 6-foot open-array antenna.
• Up to 96 NM instrumented range in a complete compatible HALO 3000 configuration.
• Supports VelocityTrack Doppler, ZoneTrack, Bird Mode+, dual-range operation, and compatible target-tracking functions.
• Rotation speeds from 16 to 48 RPM depending on selected operating mode.
• Requires the Simrad RI-50 radar interface module for system power, radar interconnection, and network routing.
• 12V or 24V vessel input is supplied to the RI-50; the pedestal receives nominal 50V DC from the interface module.
• IPX6 protection and approximately 44.8 lb (20.3 kg) pedestal weight.

Integration

The HALO 300X is a pedestal-only component. A complete system requires a compatible HALO array, RI-50 interface module, interconnection cable, compatible Simrad MFD, Ethernet network connection, power circuit, and suitable mounting platform. The RI-50—not the pedestal—provides the network interface and converts the vessel’s 12V or 24V supply to the pedestal’s nominal 50V DC input.

Range and beamwidth depend on the selected antenna. Simrad lists the HALO 3000 platform at 130W with a maximum 96 NM range; antenna options include 3-foot, 4-foot, and 6-foot arrays, with the 6-foot option providing the narrowest published beam. [799][803]

Installation Notes

Mount the pedestal on a rigid, level platform rated for the pedestal, selected array, rotational forces, and wind load. Allow complete rotation clearance for the chosen array and keep the scanner clear of personnel, masts, rigging, antennas, lights, exhaust, and structures that can create radar shadow sectors.

Install the RI-50 in a protected interior location and follow Simrad instructions for grounding, fusing, cable routing, connector engagement, and setup. Professional installation and commissioning are recommended for this high-power open-array system.

Before Ordering

Confirm the selected HALO antenna size, RI-50 interface availability, compatible Simrad MFD, Ethernet requirements, 12V/24V supply, mounting-platform capacity, sweep clearance, cable lengths, and required heading/GPS inputs before ordering.
