URP-102 POINT PAD™

Case Options
The URP-102 Point Pad™ is supplied as a surface mount unit (see Figure 4). A flush mount
option is provided (see Figure 5). To switch mounting options, unscrew the six (6) screws on
the unit's back plate and remove the front cover. Fit the Point Pad™ with the flush mount
cover, replace the back plate, and screw the unit back together.
Mounting
Both the surface mount and flush mount options require access to the backside of the mounting
location. Make sure there are no obstructions behind the area where the switch is to be located
(e.g. bulkheads, wires, plumbing, or hardware). Check in advance that the coax cable from the
Master Controller can be routed to this location. Generally, the Point Pad™ should be mounted
in a protected area.
Install the surface mount Point Pad™ by drilling 3 holes in the dashboard location using the
Point Pad™ Surface Mount Template supplied in the Mounting Templates. Mount the Point
Pad™ to the dashboard using the gasket, washers, and nuts supplied. Use a sealant around the
bolt holes to protect from moisture intrusion.
When the flush mount option is selected, cut a rectangular hole in the dashboard location using
the Point Pad™ Flush Mount Template supplied in the Mounting Templates. Use the gasket,
washers, nuts, and the two U-Clamps provided to secure the Point Pad™. Use a sealant around
the cut out to protect from moisture intrusion.
Connecting to the Master Controller
The Point Pad™ communicates with the Master Controller via standard television type RG-59
coaxial cable. The connectors are standard "F" type television connectors. The connector on the
back of the Point Pad™ is located in the center of the panel for ease of installation. After the
coax cable has been routed and the "F" connectors attached to the coax cable, simply screw the
"F" connectors to the Master Controller and the Point Pad™. The cable and connectors are
available either through ACR Electronics, your local Radio Shack or other sources of electronic
hardware.
Additional Point Pads™ (up to three (3) Pads) may be used with one (1) Master Controller. A
standard "T" connector or RG-59 television type "splitter" is used for each additional Point
Pad™ (see Figure 2). Limit the total length of all coax cable used to 300 feet.
The URP-102 Point Pad™ is backwards compatible with all RCL-100/50 Searchlights and with
the URC-101 Master Controller.
NOTE: The URP-102 Point Pad™ is not recommended for use with the first generation URC-
100 Master Controllers.
