Simrad HALO® 200X Radar Pedestal Only - 50W — Product description
Discover the Power of Precision with the Simrad HALO 200X Radar Pedestal
Engineered for marine enthusiasts who demand reliable detection in challenging conditions, the Simrad HALO 200X 50W pedestal stands out as a robust foundation for your radar system. This pulse compression pedestal delivers exceptional short-range performance, spotting targets as close as 20 meters while maintaining clarity up to 24 nautical miles. Ideal for smaller vessels like sportfishing boats or weekend cruisers, it offers seamless integration with Simrad multifunction displays, enhancing your on-water situational awareness without the bulk of larger arrays.
Advanced Pulse Compression Technology
At its core, this 50W pedestal leverages solid-state pulse compression to provide instant-on readiness—no lengthy warm-up times that plague traditional magnetron radars. Experience crystal-clear target separation even in rain, fog, or clutter-heavy environments. Mariners report fewer false echoes and sharper images of small objects like buoys or debris, making it a game-changer for safe navigation during dawn patrols or twilight returns.
- Dual Range Mode: Monitor close and distant targets simultaneously on split-screen displays.
- VelocityTrack Doppler: Highlights moving vessels in real-time, helping you differentiate threats from stationary objects.
- Compact Footprint: Measures just 210mm in diameter, fitting snugly on most consoles without sacrificing stability.
Versatile Performance for Everyday Adventures
Whether you're chasing trophy fish offshore or threading through busy harbors, the HALO 200X pedestal excels where precision matters most. Its low-profile design reduces windage, ensuring steady performance in rough seas, while the 50W output punches above its weight for reliable long-range scans. Pair it with compatible Simrad chartplotters for features like MARPA target tracking and automatic clutter rejection, turning your helm into a command center.
Real-World Reliability
Skippers praise its bird detection capabilities—perfect for locating bait schools without guesswork. In tests during heavy weather, it cut through rain clutter better than competitors, providing peace of mind when visibility drops. For upgrades, this pedestal-only option allows custom antenna pairings, giving flexibility for tailored marine electronics setups.
Effortless Installation and Seamless Compatibility
Designed with installers in mind, the pedestal features straightforward cabling and mounting points that align with standard marine hardware. Its IPX6 waterproof rating shrugs off spray and washdown, backed by a rugged aluminum housing for years of saltwater service. Connect via Ethernet to Simrad NSS, NSO, or B&G Zeus series for plug-and-play operation—no complex configurations required.
Pro Tips for Optimal Setup
- Position 1-2 meters above deck for unobstructed 360-degree sweeps.
- Use quality low-loss coax for minimal signal degradation.
- Calibrate with your display's auto-tuning for peak pulse compression efficiency.
