SECTION 1 - HOW THE SEARCHLIGHT WORKS
The RCL-600A was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that can
stand up to the tough marine environment.
The RCL-600A is a xenon arc searchlight that produces six (6) million peak candle power. All functions of the RCL-600A
can be electrically operated by remote control from the pilot area of the vessel. A remote control panel is supplied with the
RCL-600A. An optional slave remote control panel is available (ACR Product No. 1942).
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.
