B&G HALO20 20" Radar Dome w/20M Cable
B&G HALO20 20" Radar Dome w/20M Cable — Product description
Discover Superior Visibility on the Water with HALO20 Radar
Imagine gliding through misty mornings or navigating bustling marinas with crystal-clear detection of every obstacle ahead. The HALO20 radar dome redefines marine radar performance by packing advanced pulse compression technology into a compact 20-inch unit. This isn't just about spotting distant targets—it's about gaining an edge in close-quarters maneuvering where traditional radars often fall short, delivering sharp images from as near as 50 meters out to an impressive 24 nautical miles.
Boat owners rave about how this radar transforms their onboard experience, turning potential hazards into manageable insights. Whether you're a weekend cruiser or a competitive sailor pushing limits offshore, its precise target separation cuts through rain clutter and sea spray, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve.
Master Short-Range Detection Like Never Before
One standout capability lies in its unrivaled short-range prowess. Unlike older magnetron-based systems that struggle with nearby objects, the HALO20's 10W pulse compression excels at revealing pot buoys, small craft, and channel markers right off your bow. This makes it a game-changer for tight slips, no-wake zones, or fishing grounds where every foot counts.
Real-world sailors report fewer surprises during dawn patrols or in reduced visibility, thanks to minimal ground clutter and enhanced echo definition. Pair this with dual-range mode, and you're monitoring both immediate threats and horizon-watch simultaneously.
Enhance Safety with Advanced Tracking and Alerts
Situational awareness reaches new heights with MARPA target tracking, capable of locking onto up to 10 targets (or 20 in dual range). Select a vessel crossing your path, and watch its course, speed, and closest point of approach unfold on your display—perfect for collision avoidance in busy shipping lanes.
Guard zones add another layer of protection, alerting you audibly and visually to intrusions in predefined areas. From foggy inlets to nighttime passages, these tools provide peace of mind, letting you focus on the helm rather than constant scanning.
Power Up in Seconds with InstantOn Technology
Forget the long warm-up times of conventional radars. The HALO20 springs to life instantly from standby or powers on in mere seconds from a full shutdown. This low-power design—drawing just 18W typically—suits battery-conscious setups on sailboats or smaller vessels, extending your runtime without compromising performance.
It's radiation-safe too, so no worries about crew exposure during casual use. Rotate at a steady 24 RPM for smooth, real-time sweeps, all while withstanding 100-knot winds and extreme temperatures from -25°C to +55°C.
Intuitive Modes for Every Condition
Switch effortlessly between Harbour, Offshore, Weather, and custom modes to optimize signal processing. Harbour mode sharpens close-in details amid piers and yachts; Offshore punches through waves for long-range views; Weather mode filters rain for unobscured targets. North Up, Course Up, relative, and true motion displays adapt to your navigation style.
Integration with B&G multifunction displays is seamless via Ethernet, bringing this power to your fingertips with intuitive controls.
