ACR Electronics RCL-600A Searchlight is an advanced, xenon arc searchlight designed for mariners who want bright, high-intensity lighting. Powered by 24- or 12-volt DC, this searchlight produces 6 million peak candle power. Its functions can be controlled remotely from the pilot area of the vessel, allowing for easy and safe operation. The RCL-600A is enclosed in rugged aluminum alloy, making it suitable for harsh marine environments. It features adjustable focus for wide or narrow beam projection and can be rotated up, down, left, and right for precise illumination.

3.2 Mounting the remote control panel (master)
The remote control panel can be mounted where desired using appropriate marine grade mounting hardware. For water-
resistant installation, some type of gasketing (neoprene sheet, silicone sealant, etc.) must be used. In all cases, the
remote control panel should be mounted in a protected area. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting and wiring details.

The second Remote Control Panel may be mounted similarly to the first. The second remote control panel is wired parallel
to the first remote control panel. Connect cable to sockets on back of control panels. The master panel should have cable
plugged into top socket row 2. The slave panel should have the cable plugged into bottom socket row 1 (refer to Figure 5).
