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. This assures that the products we produce can stand up to the tough marine environment. [. . . ] General Wiring Scheme The RCL-100 has a unique wiring scheme. Special attention must be paid to the following chart. The Master Controller is supplied with an in-line fuse-holder on the Orange power lead. Use only 15 amp fuses in this fuse-holder. See Figure 9 for the Master Controller wiring diagram. WARNING: Failure to follow this arrangement may damage components. Y1-03-0138R 10 Master Controller Wire Orange Blue Yellow Green Red White Black Brown Searchlight Cable Wire Power Source Lead +12 VDC or +24 VDC** Ground Function Power Ground Lamp Power Lamp Ground Up Down Right Left Yellow Green Red White Black Brown Table 1 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-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. For best performance, the controller should be attached to the end of the 15' 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, 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. Y1-03-0138R 11 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. CAUTION: Observe polarities when attaching wires! 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.
