The Raymarine RS150 Raystar is a premium, high-performance, remotely mounted GPS and GNSS sensor engineered to deliver fast, ultra-precise positioning data to your onboard marine electronics.Serving as a crucial upgrade or replacement over standard internal antennas, the self-contained RS150 overcomes the signal limitations often found on metal-hulled vessels, boats with thick fiberglass hardtops, or enclosures where a standard chartplotter's internal GPS signal is blocked or degraded.

Operating on a powerful 72-channel receiver architecture, the RS150 delivers lightning-fast 10Hz position updates, refreshing your vessel's coordinates ten times per second. This ensures smooth, fluid vessel tracking on your chartplotter display—even during high-speed runs, sudden turns, or in challenging weather conditions. For ultimate pinpoint reliability, it features global GNSS satellite network tracking and is Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) enabled to offer automated differential accuracy down to under 5 meters.

The RS150 is designed for native connection to your SeaTalkng backbone, and can effortlessly integrate into standard NMEA 2000 networks using a DeviceNet adapter cable.Acting as a self-sufficient system sensor, it pumps highly accurate positioning, speed over ground (SOG), and course over ground (COG) metrics straight to the network bus, satisfying the data requirements of multi-function displays (MFDs), digital instruments, autopilots, and AIS transponders simultaneously.

Key Features

• 72-Channel GNSS Performance: Rapidly acquires and tracks constellations across both GPS and GLONASS satellite networks, providing excellent signal redundancy.

• Rapid 10Hz Updates: Delivers a 10Hz position update rate to ensure seamless chart plotting, precise radar overlays, and accurate autopilot routing.

• SBAS Differential Accuracy: Supports WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN satellite differential networks to provide a reliable position accuracy of less than 5 meters.

• Low-Profile Modular Mounting: Low-profile housing is optimized for clean, water-tight surface mounting or can be paired with an optional pole mount kit (sold separately).

• Network-Powered Efficiency: Consumes a minimal 30mA (1 LEN) of power while pulling its 12V operating voltage directly from your existing SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 backbone.

• Hot-Fix Technology: An internal 72-hour hold-up battery retains recent satellite almanac data, resulting in an ultra-fast "hot start" time to first fix of under 8 seconds.

• Complete Installation Kit: Comes fully packed with a marine-grade mounting seal, surface-mount threaded studs, and a generous 6-meter (19.69 ft) SeaTalkng spur cable.
