Simrad R2009 Radar Control Unit, For HALO & Broadband 3G/4G & HD Digital Radar, 9 in Portrait Display, 12-24V DC, IPX7, Ethernet & NMEA 2000 & 2x NMEA 0183, Flush or Bracket Mount

Overview

The Simrad 000-12186-001 is a dedicated radar control unit with an integrated 9-inch portrait display for running a Simrad radar scanner from its own screen and controls. It uses a 480 x 800 pixel display with high brightness for daylight helms, and it runs on 12 to 24 V DC with 11 W power consumption.

This unit is built to keep radar controls close at hand when your main MFD is busy with charts, sounder, or engine data. Radar scanners connect over Ethernet, and the unit also includes NMEA 2000 plus dual NMEA 0183 ports for tying in heading, position, speed, and AIS data that can improve radar overlay and tracking features.

Key features

• 9-inch portrait radar display with 480 x 800 pixel resolution
• 12 to 24 V DC input with 11 W power consumption for typical 12V or 24V boats
• IPX7 water-resistant rating with watertight rear connectors for exposed helm installs
• High screen brightness for clear viewing in direct sun
• Keypad and rotary dial with 8 direct-access menu keys for quick adjustments underway
• Ethernet connection for compatible Simrad radar scanners and multi-station networking
• Network connections include NMEA 2000 and two NMEA 0183 ports for sensor and device integration
• Mounts by bracket or flush in a dash for flexible helm layouts

Compatibility and fit

The R2009 works as a radar-only control display for compatible Simrad radar scanners, including HALO pulse compression, Broadband 3G and 4G, and HD Digital radar. A compatible radar scanner is required to use radar functions.

For MARPA target tracking, the system needs heading data from a compatible heading sensor on NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. GPS and AIS inputs can also be shared over the same networks to support overlays and target information where available in the connected system.

Installation and wiring

You can bracket-mount it where you can reach the keypad easily, or flush-mount it for a clean console face. Overall unit size is 224.3 mm wide, 260.1 mm high, and 82.3 mm deep, with a product weight of 1.95 kg, so it fits well on center consoles and tighter dash spaces where a wide display is awkward.

Power it from your boat’s 12V or 24V DC supply, and plan cable routing for the Ethernet run to the radar scanner plus any NMEA 2000 backbone drop and NMEA 0183 connections you need. Leave enough clearance behind the dash for connectors and service access.

Network and sensor integration

Ethernet handles radar networking and supports installations with more than one control unit on board. NMEA 2000 and dual NMEA 0183 ports make it straightforward to bring in heading, speed, GPS position, and AIS data from existing marine electronics so the radar picture and tracking tools have the right reference information.

Use on board

This is a good match for boats that want a dedicated radar station at the helm, especially when the primary display is already committed to charting, sonar, or engine screens. It also fits well on sportfishing and offshore rigs where a quick knob-and-keypad adjustment matters when conditions get wet or bumpy.

Maintenance and care

The unit is rated for operation from -15°C to +55°C and is IPX7 water-resistant. For day-to-day care, rinse salt spray off the face and keys with fresh water as needed and wipe with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh cleaners that can haze the screen.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
