1.0FORWARD

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ACR RCL-75 Searchlight. 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. With proper care and maintenance, your searchlight will be in service for years to come.

ACR is proud to be ISO 9001certified, the International Standard for Quality.

Note. It is important to read this entire instruction manual carefully for proper installation and operation of this product.

2.0SEARCHLIGHT

The RCL-75 was specially designed for mariners who require a high intensity remote controlled searchlight that is compact, light weight and can stand up to the tough marine environment.

The RCL-75 Searchlight System contains an intense light beam that produces 180,000 peak candlepower by combining two 55W halogen lamps with our unique optical quality, parabolic reflectors. All functions of the Searchlight can be electrically operated by remote control from the pilot area of the vessel using the remote control Point Pad™, and interconnecting cable supplied with the RCL-75.

The sleek, robust design and modern construction materials of the searchlight body makes it attractive for recreational and commercial vessels. The searchlight is made of an UV resistant ASA plastic to resist yellowing, and is gasketed and finished to be resistant to the weather.

The Searchlight Unit can be mounted where desired (see Figure 1 and Figure 2), using appropriate length 1/4" diameter, stainless steel fasteners. When mounting, be sure that the unit is able to rotate 361° without hitting any obstructions. Refer to Paragraph 4 for wiring details.

Caution - DO NOT mount the searchlight upside down.
