Simrad Pedestal & 20M Cable f/HALO™ 3 & HALO™ 4
Simrad Pedestal & 20M Cable f/HALO™ 3 & HALO™ 4 — Product description
Enhance Your Vessel's Radar Performance with the Right Pedestal Mount
Installing a reliable pedestal and cable setup is crucial for getting the most out of your HALO 3 or HALO 4 radar dome. This dedicated Simrad pedestal provides a sturdy, low-profile mounting solution that integrates seamlessly with your boat's arch or mast, while the included 20-meter cable ensures flexible routing to your display unit without signal loss. Mariners appreciate how this combination minimizes clutter on deck and supports the radar's advanced pulse compression technology for clearer short-range detection.
Whether you're navigating busy harbors or scanning distant horizons for weather cells, this pedestal elevates your setup by positioning the dome at an optimal height. It handles the high-speed rotation demands of HALO radars, delivering smooth 48 RPM performance even in rough seas. Forget wrestling with makeshift mounts— this purpose-built kit offers marine-grade durability against saltwater corrosion and vibration.
Streamlined Installation for Quick Setup
Setting up this pedestal starts with selecting a stable mounting location on your vessel's structure. The base footprint is compact, fitting most standard arches or poles with minimal hardware. Route the 20m cable through existing conduits or along secure pathways, using cable ties to prevent snags. Connect directly to your Simrad multifunction display, and you're ready to calibrate.
- Pre-drill mounting holes to match your surface—typically four points for rock-solid hold.
- Apply marine sealant around cable entry points to ward off moisture.
- Test rotation freely before final tightening to avoid binding.
- Pair with HALO's instant-on from standby for under 30 seconds total warm-up.
Pro tip from seasoned installers: Elevate the pedestal slightly above deck level to improve scanning over bow waves, enhancing beam sharpening for separating close targets like buoys from vessels.
Real-World Advantages for Every Boater
Fishermen love how this pedestal supports dedicated Bird mode, helping spot flocks over prime grounds without climbing the mast. Offshore cruisers rely on Offshore and Weather modes, where the stable mount prevents false echoes from chop. In dual-range operation, track up to 20 MARPA targets simultaneously—vital for collision avoidance in fog or night runs.
VelocityTrack Doppler shines here, overlaying speed data on returns to instantly flag closing threats. Users report fewer missed sightings compared to open-array alternatives, thanks to the solid pedestal reducing wobble during 48 RPM spins.
"Switched to this pedestal for my HALO 4—night-and-day difference in stability and cable management. No more deck spaghetti." – Experienced offshore skipper
Perfect Match for HALO Radar Systems
Engineered exclusively for HALO 3 and HALO 4 domes, this pedestal ensures precise alignment and torque handling. It's compatible with Simrad NSO, NSS, NSX, and select third-party MFDs via Ethernet. The 20m cable length strikes a balance for mid-sized yachts up to 50 feet, reaching from aft radar arch to helm without extenders.
Upgrade paths are straightforward: If you're running older dome radars, this kit future-proofs your install for HALO's solid-state reliability—no warm-up lag means safer passages from the get-go.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pedestal ideal for HALO 3 and HALO 4 radars?
It's custom-designed to handle the high-speed 48 RPM rotation and weight of HALO domes, providing a vibration-free platform for optimal pulse compression performance and features like beam sharpening.
How long is the included cable, and is it extendable?
The cable measures 20 meters, suitable for most vessel layouts. For longer runs, use Simrad-approved Ethernet extenders to maintain signal integrity.
Does this pedestal support MARPA target tracking?
Yes, when paired with HALO 3 or 4, it enables MARPA for up to 10 targets (20 in dual range), with the stable mount ensuring accurate tracking during rotation.
What's the warm-up time with this setup?
Instantly ready from standby, or 16-25 seconds from cold power-on—faster than magnetron radars for immediate situational awareness.
Can I use this on smaller boats under 30 feet?
Absolutely, its compact footprint fits sportfishers and center consoles. Just ensure your arch or pole can support the dome's weight for safe operation.
Is the pedestal corrosion-resistant for saltwater use?
Yes, constructed with marine-grade materials to withstand harsh marine environments, including UV exposure and constant spray.
Does it work with VelocityTrack Doppler?
Fully compatible, allowing Doppler analysis for speed and direction of targets to aid in collision avoidance.
