INSTALLATION
1. MOUNTING THE STAINLESS STEEL BAYONET MOUNTING BRACKET AND DECK SEAL
A.
Select a location that allows for clear beam projection. The Searchlight base should be mounted on a
level, flat surface. Make sure the light is able to rotate 360 degrees without obstruction.
B.
Use the mounting template to locate the stainless steel bayonet mounting plate and deck seal supplied.
A ¾ inch hole for the 12v supply needs to be drilled in the location also highlighted on the mounting
template. Drill 4 holes for fixing the light to the deck. Larson Electronics recommends stainless steel
mounting bolts with lock washers.
C.
Mount the stainless steel mounting bracket so that the RCL
‐
200 name on the base is facing to the rear.
(Arrow will show forward)
D.
Fasten light in place with ¼ inch screws or bolts depending on fixing method.
2. MOUNTING THE SEARCHLIGHT
A.
Feed the power cables through the central holes in the bayonet base deck seal. If possible lead
the wires from the inside of the boat to minimize the amount of cable between the light and the bayonet
base fitting.
B.
Place the light on the bayonet base fitting with the security locking grub screw located at 5 o
’clock.
Rotate the light into the bayonet base fitting while applying reasonable pressure until the security
locking grub screw is at 6 o
’clock (facing the rear).
C.
Using the security locking grub screw key, lock the light in place by rotating the security locking grub
screw.
3. MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER
A.
Select a location, which allows for convenient operation of the control.
B.
Drill three holes (see Panel Cutout Template enclosed) for running the power supply cables and fixing
the bolts.
C.
Run the power cables through hole drilled from the inside of the boat to minimize the amount of cable
between the controller and the mounting surface.
D.
Fasten control using the installation kit included.
4. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The searchlight & the controller(s) should be installed on independent electrical circuits. Additional controllers
(max 3 additional) can be wired independently or on the same circuit (see wiring diagrams 1&2). This is to
make the re
‐
learning of the main controller or the initial learning of any additional controllers a simple process
(see learning additional controllers section for info on the learning process). Consult the wire size chart (below)
for correct gauge of wire.
DANGER: REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Disconnect power from the system before working on the unit to avoid personal injury, damage to the
surrounding environment and/or damage to the unit. Wiring Table
*Length of run is total length of the circuit from the power source to product and back to ground. Wire sizes listed are AWG
gauge and metric millimeters.
