    SECTION 5 - URC-300 MASTER CONTROLLER Mounting The Master Controller can be mounted in any position near the searchlight that is protected from the weather. Check in advance that the coax cable from the Point Pad and the wiring harness from the searchlight can be routed to this location.
  • Page 9 Wiring to the searchlight The RCL-300A searchlight is supplied with a 15-foot integral wire harness. If you must lengthen the wire harness, use heavy duty wire to minimize the voltage drop. This is especially important for the WHITE 12 AWG lamp power, BLACK 12 AWG lamp ground, ORANGE power wire and BLUE ground wires.

If a Point Pad™ rotation switch (right or left) is continually engaged for more than 50 seconds, the Master Controller will interrupt the operation until the Point Pad switch is disengaged. This feature will save the searchlight motor from burnout due to accidental activation.
