WARNING: 

This wire MUST be fused with a 15 amp fuse in the Master 

Controller's in-line fuse-holder. 

 

Wiring to Searchlight 

The  RCL-50B  searchlight  is  supplied  with  a  12-foot  integral  wire  harness.  This  wire 
harness  is  cut  to  this  length  specifically  to  allow  for  a  voltage  drop.  Shortening  the 
harness will decrease the life of the bulbs.  Any extra length of wire harness should be 
loosely  coiled  in  a  convenient  place.  For  best  performance,  the  controller  should  be 
attached  to  the  end  of  the  12'  searchlight  wire  harness.  If  you  must  lengthen  the  wire 
harness, use heavy duty wire to minimize the voltage drop. This is especially important 
for the yellow lamp power and green lamp ground wires. 
 
Following  the  wiring  scheme  shown  in  Table  1  use  the  supplied  butt  connectors  to 
connect the master controller to the searchlight. 
 

Wiring to Point Pad™ 

The  RG-

59  coax  cable  is  supplied  without  the  “F”  connectors  attached  for  ease  of 

routing. After the coax has been r

outed, strip the insulation and crimp the “F” connectors 

in place. S

crew the “F” connectors to the master controller and the Point Pad™.  

 

Wiring to Power Supply 

The  power  source  must  be  a fused  12  VDC,  5-amp  supply  or  24  VDC,  3-amp 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

: observe polarities when attaching wires! 

 

 

Table 2 

Function 

The  URC-102  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 or 24 VDC operation.
