Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler 18″ Radar with 15 m Power and Data Cable

Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler Radar – Enhanced Navigation Safety with Intelligent Target Detection

The Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler Radar is an advanced marine radar designed to improve situational awareness and help boat owners identify potential collision risks while navigating.

Combining CHIRP pulse compression radar technology with Doppler moving target detection, the Quantum 2 provides clear and accurate radar imaging, even in challenging visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, rain, or busy shipping areas.

Designed for sailing yachts, cruising catamarans, motorboats, and yachts, this compact 18-inch radar can be mounted on a mast, radar arch, or suitable mounting platform.

Doppler Technology – Quickly Identify Moving Vessels

One of the main advantages of the Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler Radar is its ability to distinguish moving targets based on their relative motion.

Using advanced Doppler technology, moving targets are displayed in different colours depending on whether they are approaching or moving away from your vessel.

This feature allows you to:

• Quickly identify vessels that may present a potential collision risk.
• Better understand surrounding marine traffic movements.
• Make more informed decisions when adjusting course.
• Improve monitoring in harbours, navigation channels, and congested waterways.

The Doppler function provides an additional layer of situational awareness, complementing visual watchkeeping and other onboard navigation equipment.

CHIRP Pulse Compression Radar – Accurate Detection at Short and Long Range

The Quantum 2 Q24D uses advanced CHIRP pulse compression technology to improve radar target separation and identification.

It can detect targets at distances as close as approximately 6 metres (20 feet), making it particularly useful for identifying nearby obstacles during manoeuvres or navigation in restricted visibility.

With a maximum advertised range of 24 nautical miles, depending on installation conditions, antenna height, and target characteristics, it provides effective radar coverage for coastal cruising and offshore passages.

This technology is especially useful when approaching anchorages, navigating in poor visibility, or monitoring traffic along busy coastlines.

MARPA Target Tracking and Vessel Movement Analysis

The Raymarine Quantum 2 Radar includes advanced target tracking features designed to improve situational awareness.

Key features include:

• Automatic and manual MARPA target tracking.
• Tracking of up to 25 targets simultaneously, depending on the compatible multifunction display and software configuration.
• TrueTrails, displaying the movement history of radar targets.
• True Motion, helping distinguish moving vessels from stationary objects.
• Target tracking and collision assessment functions, depending on the connected multifunction display.

These features help you better understand vessel movements and anticipate potential navigation hazards.

Wi-Fi and RayNet Ethernet Connectivity

The Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler Radar offers two connection options for integration with compatible Raymarine navigation systems.

Wi-Fi connection: Enables wireless radar data transmission between the radar dome and compatible multifunction displays, reducing the need for additional network cabling, provided a reliable wireless connection can be established.

RayNet Ethernet connection: Provides a wired connection to the Raymarine navigation network.

The T70417 package includes both a 15-metre power cable and a 15-metre data cable, allowing a complete wired installation.

The Quantum 2 is designed to work with compatible Raymarine multifunction displays, including Axiom, Axiom+, and Axiom Pro, subject to the required software versions.

Compatibility should always be checked before purchase, particularly when replacing an existing radar.

Compact, Lightweight Radar for Sailing Yachts and Catamarans

With its white radar dome measuring 541 mm in diameter, a height of 209.5 mm, and a weight of approximately 5.6 kg, the Quantum 2 is particularly suitable for installations where space and weight are important considerations.

Its 12/24 V DC power supply is compatible with the electrical systems commonly found on recreational boats.

With a maximum power consumption of just 17 W while transmitting, it is an energy-efficient solution for extended cruising, particularly aboard sailing yachts and catamarans relying on battery power.

The radar features an IPX6 water resistance rating, providing protection against powerful water jets in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
