The Raymarine MAGNUM system has a listed overall height of 430 mm (16.9 inches), with a length of 409 mm (16.1 inches) and width of 314 mm (12.3 inches). The 6-foot array measures approximately 1918 mm (75.7 inches). These dimensions and the 29 kg system weight should be considered when planning the radar mounting location and supporting structure.
The 6-foot antenna is specified with a 1.15° nominal horizontal beamwidth, compared with the wider 1.85° beamwidth listed for the 4-foot array option. The narrower beamwidth of the 6-foot configuration can be useful when the installation requires greater target separation at longer ranges. The system supports 24 RPM and 48 RPM rotation, giving operators flexibility when configuring radar operation for their vessel and navigation requirements.
The radar uses horizontal polarization and operates at 9405 MHz ±20 MHz. The specified warm-up time is 75 seconds, while the transition from standby to transmit is listed at 2.5 seconds. The maximum range scale is 72 nautical miles, subject to vessel installation, environmental conditions, target characteristics, and other operating factors.
A 6-foot open-array radar requires a suitable mounting structure capable of supporting the equipment and its operating loads. The listed 85-knot maximum wind speed and 29 kg system weight should be considered during installation planning. Cable routing, power supply capacity, grounding, radar height, and clear line of sight should also be evaluated before installation.
The specified operating voltage range is 10.8 to 31.2 V DC when using the VCM100. The system is rated IPX6 and is specified to operate from -25°C to 55°C. Installation should follow the applicable equipment documentation and vessel requirements rather than relying only on the headline radar specifications.
The Raymarine MAGNUM 12 kW 6 Foot Radar Pack is suited to boat owners, offshore operators, commercial marine users, and professional navigation applications where a large open-array antenna and extended radar coverage are required. The 6-foot configuration is particularly relevant when antenna size and mounting capacity allow the installation to take advantage of its specified beamwidth and long-range capability.
A larger open-array antenna can provide a narrower horizontal beamwidth than a shorter array, which can support improved target separation under suitable operating conditions. The Raymarine MAGNUM 12 kW platform combines the 6-foot array with 24/48 RPM rotation, 72 nautical miles of maximum range scale, and a marine-rated environmental specification.
