Simrad NSX 3012 – Radar Bundle HALO20+ & Active Imaging 3-in-1

Description

Expand the Simrad NSX navigation platform with radar and imaging sonar in the NSX 3012 HALO20+ and Active Imaging 3-in-1 Bundle. Its larger 12-inch touchscreen gives more space for simultaneous charts, sonar, and radar pages, while the 20-inch HALO20+ radome adds VelocityTrack Doppler and dual-range target awareness for coastal cruises, offshore fishing, and night operation. Need an integrated helm system with a larger display but a compact radar dome? This bundle pairs 36 NM solid-state radar coverage with Active Imaging CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan sonar capability.

Key Specifications

• Simrad NSX 3012 radar bundle with HALO20+ radar and Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer.
• 12-inch Simrad NSX touchscreen multifunction display with chartplotting, radar, sonar, networking, and Wi-Fi support.
• 20-inch HALO20+ solid-state pulse-compression Doppler radar radome.
• 25W radar output with up to 36 NM instrumented range.
• 4.9° horizontal beamwidth and 25° vertical beamwidth.
• Rotation speed up to 60 RPM with VelocityTrack target coloring.
• Independent dual-range operation and MARPA tracking for up to 10 targets with compatible heading and position data.
• Includes Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer for CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan views.
• Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
• 12V DC input; listed operating draw is approximately 20W for radar and 23W for the MFD.
• IPX6 radar protection, IPX7 MFD protection, and a 100-knot wind rating for the dome.

Integration

The bundle provides core display, radar, and transducer hardware, but may require compatible charts, a heading sensor, AIS source, NMEA 2000 backbone, Ethernet connections, mounting hardware, and vessel-specific power protection. Ethernet carries radar video, while NMEA 2000 provides compatible heading, GPS, AIS, autopilot, and vessel-sensor data.

VelocityTrack can help make moving radar returns easier to interpret, while MARPA and radar overlay require valid position and heading sources. The 36 NM radar range is instrumented rather than guaranteed, and sonar performance depends on transducer placement, hull characteristics, water depth, boat speed, turbulence, and interference.

Installation Notes

Install the HALO20+ dome on a rigid, level platform with clear scanner rotation and minimal obstruction from masts, antennas, lights, rigging, exhaust, or hardtop structures. Mount the NSX 3012 where the display remains accessible and visible from the helm. Fit the Active Imaging transducer according to Simrad guidance and away from propeller wash, strakes, hull steps, and turbulence.

Route power, Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and transducer cables through protected paths away from heat, chafe, bilge water, high-current conductors, and moving equipment. Follow Simrad instructions for fusing, network setup, radar alignment, sonar configuration, and software updates.

Before Ordering

Confirm 12-inch MFD mounting space, chart coverage, radar-mount strength, transducer installation suitability, 12V power capacity, Ethernet/NMEA 2000 components, heading/GPS/AIS sensor needs, and required cable lengths before ordering.
