Overview

The Garmin 010-01364-10 is a GMR Fantom 5X radar pedestal that pairs with a 4 ft or 6 ft GMR Fantom open-array antenna (array sold separately).

It integrates on a Garmin Marine Network and is operated from a compatible Garmin chartplotter. Power input is 10 to 32 Vdc, and the IPX6-rated housing is built for exposure to spray and heavy seas.

The pedestal weighs 15.8 kg (34.8 lb.), and the antenna adds 5.2 kg (11.4 lb.) for a 4 ft array or 7.3 kg (16.0 lb.) for a 6 ft array. Standard cable lengths are 15 m (49 ft 3 in.) for both power and network runs.

Key features

• Pedestal for GMR Fantom open-array systems; compatible with 4 ft and 6 ft antenna arrays.
• Pedestal only; the antenna array is not included.
• 50 W solid-state radar pedestal with MotionScope target highlighting and pulse compression processing.
• Antenna rotation speeds of 24 rpm and 48 rpm (48 rpm available in single range mode with MotionScope off at 12 nm and below).
• 10 to 32 Vdc input; typical system draw of 65 W with a 170 W maximum on the 50 W Fantom open-array models.
• IEC 60529 IPX6 water rating and an operating temperature range from -15 to 55°C (5 to 131°F).
• Compass-safe distance: 300 mm (11.8 in.); maximum wind load: 80 kn.

Compatibility and system integration

This pedestal connects to a compatible Garmin chartplotter or network port expander over the Garmin Marine Network, sharing radar data across the network. Antenna size is selected during setup, so the system matches the 4 ft or 6 ft array installed on the pedestal.

Installation and setup

Mount the pedestal on a solid, level surface that is parallel to the vessel waterline and has a clear view for the rotating beam. Plan a clean cable route and sealing at deck penetrations; the installation template allows for an optional 32 mm (1 1/4 in.) pass-through for the power and network cables.

For electrical safety and noise control, the unit is intended to be connected to a proper water ground (not the battery negative). The radar power cable uses a 15 A blade fuse when wired directly, and systems that use a voltage converter add a 30 A blade fuse on the battery side.

On-board use notes

Like any open-array radar, placement matters. Keep the antenna path clear, maintain the specified safe distances when transmitting (general public: 0.38 m for 4 ft arrays and 0.40 m for 6 ft arrays), and avoid mounting near a magnetic compass or other electronics that could be affected by the rotating beam.

This pedestal is a practical fit for boats replacing a damaged or corroded Fantom pedestal while keeping an existing 4 ft or 6 ft array, or for new installs where you already have the correct array and need the matching pedestal and cabling.
