RCL-100D, 12/24V REMOTE CONTROL SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM FIGURE 1: REMOTE CONTROL SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM FORWARD Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ACR RCL-100D Searchlight. The combination of computer aided design, high quality raw materials, and quality-controlled manufacturing produce a superior product. The Test Facility at ACR can reproduce some of the harshest environmental conditions known to man.
GENERAL The RCL-100D was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that can stand up to the tough marine environment. The RCL-100D Searchlight System contains a narrow beam searchlight that produces 200,000 peak candle power by combining two 55W halogen lamps with our unique optical quality parabolic reflectors.
“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.

Wiring to Searchlight The RCL-100 Searchlight is supplied with a 15 foot integral wire harness. This wire harness is cut to this length specifically to allow for a voltage drop. Shortening the harness will decrease the life of the bulbs. Any extra length of wire harness should be loosely coiled in a convenient place.
Page 12
Wiring to Power Supply The power source must be a fused 12 VDC, 10-amp supply or 24 VDC, 5-amp supply. Following the wiring scheme in Table 1, use the supplied butt connectors to connect the Master Controller to the Power Source. Refer to Table 2 for proper wire size for connection of the input power lines.

The URC-102 Master Controller provides optimum voltage to ensure the brightest Searchlight performance and long bulb life. Also to extend lamp life, the Master Controller has a timed lamp power up feature. The Searchlight lamps reach full intensity within 2 seconds. The URC-102 Master Controller has a Searchlight motor timeout feature.
