RCL-50B, 12/24V REMOTE CONTROL SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM FIGURE 1: REMOTE CONTROL SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM FORWARD Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ACR RCL-50B 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-50B was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that can stand up to the tough marine environment. The RCL-50B Searchlight System contains a narrow beam searchlight that produces 80,000 peak candle power by combining a 55W halogen lamp on the 12V version or a 70W halogen lamp on the 24V version with our unique optical quality parabolic reflector.
“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.

URC-102 MASTER CONTROLLER Mounting The Master Controller can be mounted in any position near the Searchlight that is protected from the weather.

Wiring to Power Supply The power source must be a fused 12 VDC, 5-amp supply or 24 VDC, 3-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.
NOTE: The Searchlight should not be covered while the XRCiZ feature is enabled. 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.
BULB REPLACEMENT A quartz-halogen bulb is provided with your RCL-50B. If the bulb should need replacement, it must be ordered through ACR Electronics, by P/N A1-14-0090-1 (12V units) or A1-14-0090-2 (24V units). To replace the lamps: Disconnect unit from power source and allow bulb to cool.
