RCL-100D, 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-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.
SECTION 2 - 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.
NOTE: The Searchlight should be left uncovered if the XRCiZ feature is enabled. SECTION 4 - REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM The Remote Control System consists of the URC-102 Master Controller and the URP-102 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 LAMPS IN THE LIGHT HEAD ASSEMBLY MUST BE CHANGED TO MATCH THE VOLTAGE RATING.
standard "F" type television connectors. The connector on the back of the Point Pad™ is located in the center of the panel for ease of installation. After the coax cable has been routed and the “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.
