ACR Electronics Marine Lighting 1933 User Manual

 
SECTION1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
Introduction  
The RCL-300A was specially designed for mariners who require a high  
intensity remote controlled searchlight that can stand up to the tough  
marine environment.  
The sleek design and modern construction of the searchlight body  
makes it attractive for recreational and commercial vessels. 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  
Pad™, URC Master Controller and interconnect cable supplied with the  
RCL-300A. Searchlights equipped with the URC-300 Master Controller  
have a self-park feature and ACR’s unique XRCiZ™ feature. The  
XRCiZ™ feature routinely operates all moving parts in the searchlight to  
keep the motors and drive mechanisms freely running.

SECTION 2- SEARCHLIGHT MOUNTING  
Make sure the area is clean and dry. The searchlight can be mounted  
where desired, using appropriate length 5/16” diameter stainless steel  
fasteners. One set is provided in the mounting kit and four (4) nylon  
shoulder washers. The nylon washers prevent a galvanic reaction  
between the mounting hardware and the base of the searchlight. Be  
sure these washers have been inserted in the base mounting holes and  
that the mounting base gasket is securely in place before bolting down.  
Apply silicone grease to the bottom of the gasket to help in  
waterproofing the unit. When mounting, be sure the searchlight is able  
to rotate 360° without hitting any obstructions. For the drilling hole  
pattern, refer to the searchlight Mounting Template.  
CAUTION: Do not mount the searchlight upside down. Moisture  
cannot drain from the inverted light head assembly.
