Simrad R3016 Radar Control Unit, For Halo Pulse Compression and Broadband 3G/4G and HD Digital Radars, 16in HD Widescreen Display, 12-24V DC, IPX6, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Ethernet, HDMI

Overview

The Simrad 000-12188-001 is a dedicated radar control unit with an integrated 16-inch widescreen display (1366 x 768) and a keypad plus rotary dial, built for running a compatible Simrad radar on its own screen at the helm. It runs on 12 to 24 V DC and draws about 20 W, which fits typical 12V and 24V onboard electrical systems.

This unit connects to supported radar scanners over Ethernet and adds extra system hooks for sensors and data sharing with 4 NMEA 0183 ports and NMEA 2000 connectivity. An HDMI output mirrors the built-in screen to a second display when you need radar in more than one place.

For real-world helm use, the rear connectors are watertight and the housing is rated IPX6, so it can live in an open console where spray and washdowns are part of the routine.

Key features

• Integrated 16-inch LED-backlit color TFT LCD with 1366 x 768 resolution and 300 cd/m2 brightness
• 12 to 24 V DC input, with 20 W typical power consumption
• IPX6 water resistance with watertight rear connectors for exposed helm installations
• Ethernet connection for supported Simrad radar scanners, with networking support for multiple control units and radar systems
• Connectivity for onboard data: 4 NMEA 0183 ports plus NMEA 2000 integration
• HDMI output mirrors the display at 1366 x 768 for a secondary radar screen
• Keypad and rotary-dial control with 8 direct-access menu keys for quick changes underway
• Anti-sea clutter and MARPA target tracking tools for managing targets and keeping the picture readable in rough conditions
• Bracket or flush-mount installation to match your helm layout

What’s included

• Power cable, 4-pin
• S2016 & R3016 bracket mounting kit
• Suncover for S2016 & R3016
• Bezel assembly edge for S2016 & R3016

Installation and fit

The front footprint is 455.5 mm wide by 260.1 mm high, with an 82.3 mm body depth, and the unit weighs about 4 kg (8.8 lb). Those numbers matter when you are checking dash clearance, door swing, and how much space you have behind the panel for cabling and drip loops.

You can flush-mount it for a clean glass-bridge look, or use the bracket kit when you need more flexibility on a smaller helm or a second station. Plan cable routing so the Ethernet run to the radar scanner stays protected from chafe and is not forced into tight bends.

Networking and system integration

Ethernet handles the radar connection, while NMEA 2000 and the four NMEA 0183 ports give you options for bringing in heading, speed, AIS, and GPS data that can improve situational awareness on the radar screen. If you are tying it into an existing network, confirm you have the right NMEA 2000 backbone power and a spare drop where the unit will be mounted.

The HDMI port outputs a mirrored view of the built-in display, which is useful for adding a second radar screen at another helm or inside the cabin. With an optional wired remote, that mirrored station can be made interactive.

Use on board

This is a good fit for helms where you want radar available at all times without giving up chart space on your main MFD. It also makes sense on dual-station boats that need radar in two locations, or on sportfishing setups where radar gets used constantly for bird finding and tracking weather cells while running offshore.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt spray off the exterior with fresh water when practical, then wipe with a soft cloth. Use the supplied suncover when the boat is not in use to reduce UV exposure on the screen and keep the face clean at the dock.

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.
