Echomax 230BR Passive Radar Reflector

Echomax Passive Radar Reflectors comprise an symmetrical laser cut aluminium or stainless steel reflector enclosed in a robust polyethylene case. The design maximises response whilst minimising windage.

For Vessels up to 15m. The fixing holes are 545mm apart making the 230BR a direct replacement for the Firdell Blipper 210-7 with no need to replace the mast bracket. Ships Wheel Mark Certified to ISO8729-1997 for Life boats and rescue craft.

Sailing Yachts - Halyard Mount

Echomax reflectors use a symmetrical arrangement of interacting corners. Whilst its centreband response pattern is maintained at 15° tilt RCS is -5dB. To counter this, and avoid 'mast shadow'.

Pass a bight over the yardarm via a dead eye. Return bight through reflectors eye and secure taking lines through bight. Take tails through reflectors bottom eye and then to separate cleats via loops at --xx--.

IMPORTANT

Yachtsmen will be aware of the need to trim the reflector when on the reverse tack, failure to do so will result in compounding the angle of heel rendering the reflector inefficient.

Note: Reflector trimmed to leeward 15°. Mast heeling to 30°
