{"product_id":"qbp943209","title":"Raymarine VCM100 Voltage Converter Module, For HD and Magnum Open Array Radars","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine E52091 is a VCM100 voltage converter module for Raymarine HD and Magnum open array radar pedestals. It takes 12 V or 24 V DC from the boat's electrical system and feeds the radar through the converter module, which is the required power path for these scanners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the dedicated converter used between vessel power and the radar pedestal, not a general-purpose power supply for mixed onboard electronics. In a single-scanner installation, each radar requires its own VCM100.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor buyers replacing an existing unit, the key fit point is straightforward: this module belongs in Raymarine open array radar systems that call for the VCM100 in the power circuit. It is intended for below-decks installation, close to the DC source, where cable runs can be kept short and well supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement VCM100 converter module for Raymarine HD and Magnum open array radar systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with 12 V and 24 V DC vessel power systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadar scanner power is routed through the VCM100 rather than direct from the battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne converter module is used per radar scanner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplashproof housing for below-decks mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical mounting position helps with heat dissipation and cable management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes dedicated POWER IN, POWER OUT, and SCREEN connections for proper integration with the radar power circuit and vessel RF ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module should be mounted vertically on a solid surface in a ventilated below-decks space. Keeping it near the battery isolator switch or DC distribution panel helps reduce voltage drop and keeps the installation cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower should be brought into the VCM100 from the vessel supply with suitable circuit protection, and the SCREEN terminal should be connected to the vessel's RF ground system. It should also be kept at least 1 m from a magnetic compass and away from equipment that can introduce electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module fits Raymarine HD and Magnum open array radar installations that use the VCM100 between the scanner and the boat's DC supply. It is a practical replacement when an existing converter has failed, or when a radar installation is being completed with the matching power component the scanner requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits boaters running an open array radar on cruising boats, sportfishing boats, and other vessels where the radar pedestal is powered from a 12 V or 24 V DC system through a dedicated converter module.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023831298229,"sku":"QBP943209","price":314.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330632_qbp943209.jpg?v=1780192030","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp943209","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
