User manual ACR ELECTRONICS RCL-50

[. . . ] 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. All functions of the searchlight can be electrically operated by remote control from the pilot area of the vessel using the URP-102 Point PadTM, URC-102 Master Controller, and interconnect cable supplied with the RCL-50B. Searchlights equipped with the URC-102 Master Controller now have ACR's unique XRCiZTM feature. The XRCiZTM feature routinely operates all moving parts in the searchlight to keep the motors and drive mechanism freely running. SECTION 3 - SEARCHLIGHT The sleek design and modern construction of the searchlight body makes it attractive for recreational and commercial vessels. [. . . ] An LED blinking red / green indicates that the XRCiZTM feature is now "exercising" the Searchlight. NOTE: XRCiZTM feature is only available when paired with a URC-102 Master Controller.

Check in advance that the coax cable from the Point PadTM and the wiring harness from the searchlight can be routed to this location. Use a sealant in fastener holes to prevent moisture intrusion. General wiring scheme The RCL-50B has a unique wiring scheme. The Master Controller is supplied with an in-line fuse-holder on the orange power lead. See Figure 9 for the master controller wiring diagram. WARNING: Failure to follow this arrangement may damage components. Master Controller Wire Orange Blue Yellow Green Red White Black Brown Searchlight Cable Wire Power Source Lead +12 VDC or +24 VDC** Ground Yellow Green Red White Black Brown Function Power Ground Lamp Power Lamp Ground Up Down Right Left Table 1 Y1-03-0141D 9 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. Any extra length of wire harness should be loosely coiled in a convenient place. For best performance, the controller should be attached to the end of the 12' searchlight wire harness. If you must lengthen the wire harness, use heavy duty wire to minimize the voltage drop. This is especially important for the yellow lamp power and green lamp ground wires. Following the wiring scheme shown in Table 1 use the supplied butt connectors to connect the master controller to the searchlight. Wiring to Point PadTM The RG-59 coax cable is supplied without the "F" connectors attached for ease of routing. After the coax has been routed, strip the insulation and crimp the "F" connectors in place. Screw the "F" connectors to the master controller and the Point PadTM. 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: As per the wiring scheme, the orange wire is connected to the positive terminal and the blue wire is connected to the negative terminal of the power source. Maximum Cable Length Wire Size #8 AWG #10 AWG #12 AWG 12v System 25 ft. 40 ft. Table 2 Function The URC-102 Master Controller is designed to perform up to six different duties on searchlights, winches, and other electrical devices. The Master Controller provides optimum voltage to ensure brightest performance and long lamp life, regardless of boat system voltage fluctuations. The Master Controller is compatible with devices requiring 12 VDC or 24 VDC operation. Y1-03-0141D 10 The URC-102 Master Controller has the unique XRCiZTM feature.
