Raymarine Cyclone 6 Foot Open Array Radar System
Offshore sportfishers track distant bird flocks across 72 nautical miles with the Raymarine Cyclone 6 radar system, focusing 55W solid-state pulse compression through a 6-foot open array across a 1.32-degree beamwidth at 59.5 lbs.
- 55W solid-state output equals magnetron power
- 1.32-degree beamwidth sharpens coastal target separation
- ARPA tracking calculates fifty collision risks
- 60 RPM rotation speed updates targets
The Raymarine Cyclone 6 Foot Open Array Radar System, SKU T70494, is a solid-state CHIRP pulse-compression marine radar package with a six-foot open array and compatible radar pedestal. It is designed for Raymarine multifunction displays using RayNet Ethernet networking and provides long-range radar performance with high-resolution target separation. The complete system includes the pedestal and six-foot radiator array; confirm the exact included cable package for the ordered SKU.
The supplied specifications for T70494 should be verified carefully before publication because Raymarine product listings assign different SKUs to 55W Cyclone and 110W Cyclone Pro configurations. Standard Cyclone systems use 55W CHIRP pulse-compression radar, while Cyclone Pro uses 110W output with a maximum instrumented range up to 96 NM. Practical detection performance depends on mounting, target size, conditions, and radar setup.
Radar Integration
This radar system requires a compatible Raymarine multifunction display and RayNet Ethernet connection. NMEA 2000 or SeaTalkng supports compatible GPS, heading, AIS, autopilot, and vessel-sensor integration, but radar video uses RayNet Ethernet rather than NMEA 2000. Radar overlay and ARPA functions require compatible heading and position data where applicable.
Doppler processing can help highlight moving targets, subject to scanner configuration, target movement, sea conditions, and radar settings. Radar is a navigation aid and does not replace a proper lookout, safe speed, official charts, local notices, or collision-regulation compliance.
Before Ordering
Confirm the exact T70494 scanner-output configuration, compatible Raymarine MFD, RayNet cable length and network layout, six-foot array clearance, structural mounting platform, supply voltage, heading source for ARPA and overlay, GPS source, NMEA 2000 or SeaTalkng integration needs, safe-distance requirements, included cable package, and qualified installation requirements before purchase.
