SECTION 1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Introduction The RCL-300A was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that can stand up to the tough marine environment.

Surface Mount Install the surface mount Point Pad™ by drilling three (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. Apply a sealant around the bolt holes to protect from moisture intrusion.
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.

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.
The URC-300 Master Controller has a searchlight motor time-out feature. 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.
