Frequently Asked Questions

What antenna arrays are compatible with the Magnum 4kW pedestal?

The Magnum 4kW pedestal is designed to work with either 4-foot or 6-foot open array antennas (sold separately). The antenna choice affects detection sensitivity and beam width, with larger arrays providing better performance for long-range detection.

Can I install this radar system on a 12V DC electrical system?

Yes, the included VCM100 voltage converter module allows installation on both 12V and 24V DC systems. The converter handles the power requirements while providing clean power delivery for optimal radar performance.

Is this radar system suitable for inland waterway navigation?

While designed primarily for offshore use, the Magnum 4kW provides excellent performance in inland waters, rivers, and coastal areas. The beam sharpening technology delivers detailed shoreline mapping and precise target separation in confined waters.

What's the difference between 4kW and 12kW Magnum models?

The 4kW model offers 72nm maximum range and is ideal for most recreational and light commercial applications. The 12kW version extends range to 96nm and provides enhanced performance in heavy weather conditions, making it suitable for larger commercial vessels and blue water cruising.

Does this radar work with non-Raymarine chart plotters?

The Magnum radar is specifically designed for integration with Raymarine multifunction displays and may not be compatible with other brands. For optimal performance and full feature access, use with compatible Raymarine Axiom or legacy MFD systems.

Magnum 4kW Pedestal

Magnum high performance open array radars bring long range performance and unmatched small target radar imaging to Raymarine multifunction navigation displays. Employing many of the same radar technologies trusted by the United States Coast Guard, Magnum offers enhanced target tracking and reliable performance, all packaged in a sleek open-array pedestal built to withstand the elements.

Key Features:

Magnum is available in 4kW or 12kW power output options, and with either a four-foot or six-foot antenna array option. It offers a maximum range up to 96nm for 12kW models – ideal for blue water vessels – and up to 72nm for 4kW models. The perfect companion to Raymarine’s award-winning Axiom® and Axiom Pro multifunction navigation displays (MFD) running LightHouse 3, Magnum is also backwards compatible with legacy models including:

• LightHouse 2-based a, c, e, eS and gS-Series MFDs
• C-Series Widescreen and E-Series Widescreen MFDs
• E-Series Classic, G-Series Multifunction Displays

*Note: Not all Magnum features are available on all legacy MFDs.

Superior Bird Mode

Building upon Raymarine’s already exceptional bird identification technology, we have further advanced Magnum’s Bird Mode feature to target birds with greater clarity up to 10nm. Locating flocks of birds with Magnum helps anglers find schooling baitfish faster and with less fuel consumption.

Enhanced Radar Imaging

Magnum radar also features Raymarine beam sharpening technology, delivering better than 1-degree bearing resolution for more detailed target separation, map-like coastal detail, and superior long-range performance.

Best in Class Target Tracking

Magnum delivers better situational awareness with fully automatic MARPA target acquisition and tracking. Magnum also makes use of Raymarine’s Evolution 9-axis heading sensor technology to deliver real-time, accurate target plots.

True Trails

Magnum features True Trails target history. The True Trails features enables you to see a historical “wake” behind every moving contact. This additional information makes it even easier to interpret the motion of other vessels and make smart maneuvering decisions to pass safely.

Real Time Heading Updates

Connect Magnum with Axiom and LightHouse 3 and experience uninterrupted radar target imagery when making course changes. Real Time Heading updates allow the radar position display to rotate freely as-needed, without the need to refresh the entire display.

The open array Raymarine Magnum 4kW, 4-foot open radar with beam sharpening technology can provide long-range and unparalleled enhanced small target imaging. The general 4kW radar has excellent performance in a range of up to 72 nautical miles, and also provides a newly enhanced "bird mode" to help find bait fish. The real-time heading update will display beautiful radar images on devices compatible with Axiom and LightHouse 3, while allowing the radar position to rotate as needed without refreshing the entire display page on the MFD. Magnum is fully compatible with LightHouse 3 OS and Axiom / Axiom Pro MFD. This is a great choice for your boat. It will provide a variety of upgraded MARPA algorithms, upgraded beam technology and azimuth resolution less than 1 degree to achieve detailed target separation and long-distance performance. The Magnum 4kW radar is also backward compatible with certain LightHouse 2 and Legacy MFDs. These devices have limited functions, but still display radar images on the display. Magnum has an enhanced radar imaging function, which can ensure a clearer image on the MFD and provide an azimuth angle better than 1 degree to achieve better target separation and long-distance performance. The universal 4kW radar can provide better situational awareness and work closely with 9-axis heading sensor technology to provide real-time target maps for each ship. These maps will also display True Trails target history, providing a clear feel for each moving target. This information ensures that you can see the movement of other boats more easily, helping you operate safely in the water. In order to provide the best radar technology for your vessel, Raymarine Magnum 4kW is the ultimate choice.
