B&G HALO20 20" Radar Dome w/20M Cable
B&G Halo20 - Professional 20" Pulse Compression Radar with Advanced Target Tracking
The Ultimate Picture from a Compact Dome
Experience unmatched marine radar performance with the B&G Halo20, a sophisticated 20-inch pulse compression radar that delivers exceptional range and target definition from a remarkably compact dome. Engineered for serious boaters who demand professional-grade collision avoidance and navigation capabilities without compromising deck space or power consumption.
Advanced Pulse Compression Radar Technology
⚡ 10W Pulse Compression Transmitter
Revolutionary pulse compression technology delivers a powerful combination of short and long-range detection capabilities. The 10W transmitter provides exceptional target definition with minimal clutter, ensuring critical contacts are never missed regardless of range or environmental conditions.
? 24 Nautical Mile Detection Range
Extend your situational awareness from the bow of your vessel out to 24 nautical miles with consistent target detection and identification. The compact 20-inch dome delivers performance typically associated with much larger radar arrays.
? Unrivaled Short-Range Performance
Superior close-range detection starting at just 50 meters ensures no blind spots around your vessel. Critical for navigation in crowded harbors, marinas, and congested waterways where collision avoidance is paramount.
Advanced Target Tracking & Collision Avoidance
? MARPA Target Tracking
Monitor up to 10 selected collision hazards simultaneously (20 targets in dual range mode) with Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) technology. Track vessel course, speed, and closest point of approach (CPA) for enhanced collision avoidance.
?️ Guard Zone Protection
Establish customizable guard zones around your vessel to automatically alert you to approaching targets. Critical for maintaining safe navigation during watch changes, autopilot operation, or reduced visibility conditions.
?️ Weather Detection Capability
Dedicated weather mode optimizes signal processing to identify precipitation and storm cells, allowing you to navigate around dangerous weather patterns and plan safer routes.
InstantOn Technology & Efficiency
⚡ Instant Wake-Up Performance
Halo20 wakes instantly from low-power standby mode, delivering immediate radar coverage when you need it most. Unlike traditional magnetron radars that require minutes to warm up, the Halo20 provides instant protection.
? Low Power Consumption
Efficient 18W typical power consumption (20W maximum) reduces electrical system load and extends battery life during extended operations. Perfect for smaller vessels with limited power generation capacity.
☢️ Radiation Safe Operation
Advanced pulse compression technology operates at safe radiation levels, allowing crew to work around the antenna during operation without safety concerns or exposure restrictions.
Marine-Grade Construction & Specifications
? IPX6 Waterproof Rating
Sealed construction protects against powerful water jets from any direction, ensuring reliable operation in heavy weather and rough seas. Designed for permanent outdoor installation on any vessel.
? High Wind Resistance
Rated for operation in winds up to 100 knots (51 m/s), the robust construction and balanced antenna design ensure continuous operation even in severe weather conditions.
?️ Wide Temperature Range
Operating temperature range from -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to +130°F) ensures reliable performance from arctic conditions to tropical climates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What B&G displays are compatible with the Halo20 radar?
The Halo20 is compatible with B&G Vulcan, Zeus, and Nemesis multifunction displays via Ethernet connection. The included Ethernet adapter cable (000-14552-001) provides the necessary interface for radar operation and control.
How does pulse compression compare to traditional magnetron radar?
Pulse compression technology provides superior target resolution, instant start-up, lower power consumption, and radiation-safe operation compared to traditional magnetron radars. You get better short-range performance and the ability to operate immediately without warm-up time.
What mounting height is recommended for optimal performance?
Mount the Halo20 at least 2 feet above the highest point of your vessel with clear 360-degree rotation. Higher mounting improves radar horizon and range performance. Ensure the mounting surface can support 13 lbs and provides stable platform during vessel movement.
Can the Halo20 detect small targets like kayaks or debris?
Yes, the Halo20 excels at short-range small target detection starting at 50 meters minimum range. Harbor mode optimizes signal processing for detecting small vessels, floating debris, and navigation aids that larger radars might miss.
Does the system require regular maintenance?
The Halo20 requires minimal maintenance due to its solid-state design. Regular inspection of cable connections, cleaning of the radome surface, and ensuring free antenna rotation are the primary maintenance requirements. No magnetron replacement or high-voltage component service needed.
Is the 20-meter cable length sufficient for most installations?
The included 20-meter cable accommodates most vessel installations from masthead or hardtop mounting to helm station displays. For longer cable runs, B&G offers extended cable options to suit larger vessel requirements while maintaining signal integrity.
