Description

The Raymarine Cyclone Pedestal is the 55-watt solid-state heart of a Cyclone open-array radar system, delivering map-like target detail with a peak power output equivalent to a 6 kW magnetron and a maximum range of 72 nautical miles. CHIRP pulse compression and Raymarine beam-sharpening combine for excellent target separation, while Doppler target tracking instantly colour-codes moving contacts and exclusive RangeFusion technology blends short and long pulses into a single high-clarity image.

Built for the ocean, the pedestal carries a best-in-class 100-knot wind rating and an IPX6 waterproof rating, and its low 335 mm profile with a concealed cable gland keeps installations clean. Pair it with a 3 ft, 4 ft or 6 ft Cyclone antenna and a VCM100 voltage converter, then connect to a LightHouse multifunction display. This is the pedestal only; antenna, cables and VCM100 are ordered separately.

What is the difference between Cyclone and Cyclone Pro?
Cyclone uses a 55-watt solid-state transmitter (equivalent to a 6 kW magnetron) with a maximum range of 72 nautical miles, while Cyclone Pro uses a 110-watt transmitter (equivalent to a 12 kW magnetron) with an extended maximum range of 96 nautical miles. Both share the same pedestal, antennas, Doppler and RangeFusion features.
Which multifunction displays is the Cyclone radar compatible with?
The Cyclone open-array radar is compatible with Raymarine LightHouse 3 multifunction displays, including Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL, running at least LightHouse software version 3.15. It is also supported on Axiom 2 Pro and Axiom 2 XL displays.
Does the Cyclone radar require a VCM100 voltage converter?
Yes. The Cyclone and Cyclone Pro radars are powered through the VCM100 Voltage Converter Module (E70648), which supplies the radar from a nominal 12 V dc or 24 V dc system. Topfill radar packs include the correct VCM100; older VCM100 versions (E52091) are not suitable.
What data does the Doppler target tracking need?
Doppler features require COG (Course Over Ground) and SOG (Speed Over Ground) data from a GPS or GNSS source on the system. A heading source (e.g. an Evolution autopilot sensor) is recommended and improves Doppler performance at speeds below 15 knots, but is not essential.
Can I run two radars on the same system?
Yes. A networked Raymarine system supports a maximum of two radar scanners at any one time, for example a Cyclone open array together with a Quantum radome, or two Cyclone open arrays, subject to the positioning guidance in the installation instructions.
