Raymarine Magnum Radar Pedestal with VCM100 Voltage Converter

This Raymarine Magnum Pedestal is paired with a Raymarine Magnum High Performance open radar array for a complete radar system. Compatible with either a 4' or 6' antenna array option. It offers a maximum range up to 96 nm, ideal for blue water vessels. The perfect companion to Raymarine's award-winning Axiom® and Axiom Pro multifunction navigation displays (MFD) running LightHouse 3. Magnum is also backward 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, and G-Series Multifunction Displays.

Pedestal Features:

• Superior Bird Mode: target birds with greater clarity up to 10 nm, locating flocks of birds with Magnum helps anglers find schooling baitfish faster and with less fuel consumption
• Enhanced Radar Imaging: 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: delivers better situational awareness with fully automatic MARPA target acquisition and tracking and makes use of Raymarine's Evolution 9-axis heading sensor technology to deliver real-time, accurate target plots
• True Trails:this feature allows you to see a historical "wake" behind every moving contact, making it even easier to interpret the movement 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 which allows the radar position display to rotate freely as-needed, without the need to refresh the entire display

VCM100 Voltage Converter:

• For Digital Open Array radar scanners, the power connections on the power and data digital cable MUST be connected to the VCM100Vage Converter Module
• All power connections between the VCM100 and its power source must be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power connection
• The connection from the output of the VCM100 to the digital radar does not require a fuse or circuit breaker
• If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit (fitted to the DC distribution panel, for example), you MUST fit an in-line breaker or fuse to the positive wire of the power cable
• The Emergency stop feature is designed such that when the connected switch forms a closed circuit, the VCM's 48V DC power supply will switch OFF (effectively shutting down the open array pedestal). In contrast, the switch located on the back side of the pedestal is simply intended to enable/disable rotation of and transmission via the open array. It is generally recommended that a breaker or switch be installed and dedicated to supplying power to the VCM and that it be switched OFF (after placing in standby and turning OFF) when not needed for extended periods
