RCL-50B, 12/24V REMOTE CONTROL SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM SEARCHLIGHT Figure 1- Remote Control Searchlight System SECTION 1 - FOREWORD 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.
SECTION 2 - 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.
SECTION 4 - REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM The Remote Control System consists of the URC-102 Master Controller and the URP102 Point Pad™. This system is compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC systems without modification. The remote control system may be used with 12 V or 24 V searchlights, Only the lamp in the light head assembly must be changed to match the voltage rating. SECTION 5 - URP-102 POINT PAD™ Case Options The URP-102 Point Pad™ is supplied as a surface mount unit (see Figure 4).
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. CAUTION: The URP-102 Point Pad™ is not recommended for use with the first generation URC-100 Master Controllers.
Figure 3- URP-102 Point Pad™ Functions URP-102 Point Pad Functions Press the ON/OFF button to turn the lights ON or OFF. Press the SPEED button to toggle between High and Low rotation speeds. Press the Right or Left Arrows to rotate the Searchlight in that direction. Press the Up or Down Arrows to raise or lower the Searchlight-beam. To activate the XRCiZ™ feature, press and hold the ON/OFF button for greater than 5 seconds. The green LED indicates XRCiZ™ feature is enabled.

Figure 6- URP-102 Point Pad™ Surface Mount Case with gasket and Flush Mount Case with gasket SECTION 6- URC-102 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. Mount the Master Controller with the wires and coax facing down. Use an appropriate fastener for your mounting location.
WARNING: This wire MUST be fused with a 15 amp fuse in the Master Controller's in-line fuse-holder. Wiring to Searchlight The RCL-50B searchlight is supplied with a 12-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.
The URC-102 Master Controller has the unique XRCiZ™ feature. The XRCiZ™ feature routinely operates all moving parts in the searchlight to keep the motors and drive mechanism freely running. Once activated, and every 30 days thereafter, the XRCiZ™ feature wakes up and operates the searchlight. The searchlight will rotate 360 in both directions and the parabolic reflectors will move to the full up and down positions.
