Raymarine MAGNUM 12 kW 6 Foot Marine Radar Pack

The Raymarine MAGNUM 12 kW 6 Foot Radar Pack is a high-power open-array marine radar system designed for demanding offshore navigation and professional marine applications. Its 6-foot antenna provides a nominal 1.15° horizontal beamwidth, while the 12 kW-class MAGNUM platform delivers a maximum range scale of 72 nautical miles. With 24 RPM and 48 RPM rotation modes, horizontal polarization, and a 9405 MHz transmit frequency, this radar is designed to provide detailed situational awareness over a wide operating area.

Key Features

  • 6-foot open-array antenna: The 6-foot array has a nominal 1.15° horizontal beamwidth for target separation and long-range marine awareness.
  • High-power radar: Peak power output is 4 kW with a maximum range scale of 72 nautical miles.
  • 24 RPM and 48 RPM rotation: Selectable rotation speeds support different navigation and target-monitoring requirements.
  • Wide operating voltage: Using the VCM100, the radar operates from 10.8 V DC to 31.2 V DC.
  • Low-power standby and sleep modes: Standby consumption is less than 30 W and sleep consumption is less than 1.2 W.
  • IPX6 waterproof rating: The system is specified for marine environments and can operate in relative humidity up to 95% at 35°C.
  • 85-knot maximum wind speed: The specification supports installation in demanding offshore conditions when correctly mounted.

6-Foot Array Dimensions

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.

Radar Performance and Navigation

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.

Marine Installation Considerations

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.

Who Is This Radar Pack For?

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.

Why Choose a 6-Foot Open-Array Marine Radar?

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.
