User manual ACR ELECTRONICS RCL-300

[. . . ] The searchlight is totally enclosed and is made of rugged aluminum alloy. It is gasketed and finished to be resistant to the weather. The RCL-300A searchlight contains a narrow beam searchlight that produces 1, 000, 000 peak candle power by combining twin 35W metal halide HD lamps providing over 500K candela (CD) each and 1 million effective CD when combined. All functions of the searchlight can be electrically operated by remote control from the pilot area od the vessel using the URP-102 Point PadTM, URC Master Controller and interconnect cable supplied with the RCL-300A. [. . . ] General wiring scheme WARNING: The RCL-300 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 30 amp fuses in this fuse-holder. See chart below for the Master Controller wiring diagram. WARNING: Failure to follow this arrangement may damage components.

Y1-03-0232D 7 Wiring to the searchlight The RCL-300A searchlight is supplied with a 15-foot integral wire harness. If you must lengthen the wire harness, use heavy duty wire to minimize the voltage drop. This is especially important for the WHITE 12 AWG lamp power, BLACK 12 AWG lamp ground, ORANGE power wire and BLUE ground wires. Following the wiring scheme above and Appendix C. use the supplied butt connectors to connect the Master Controller to the searchlight. Wiring the Point PadTM The RG-59 coax cable is supplied without the "F" connectors attached for ease of routing. After the Coax cable 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 the power supply Figure 5 The power source must be a fused 12 VDC, 30-amp supply or a 24 VDC, 15amp 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. CAUTION: HID light systems, when first turned on, have a high inrush current requirement of 25 amps. If you activate the light and the lamps flicker on and off repeatedly, check the voltage being supplied. This condition can be experienced with voltage input of less than 11. 5V. Functions of the URC-300 The URC-300 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 through 24 VDC operation. [. . . ] Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted only with permission of ACR Electronics, Inc.
