SECTION 4 - REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
The Remote Control System consists of the URC-102 Master Controller and the URP-
102 Point P
ad™. This system is compatible with 12 VDC and 24 VDC systems without
modification. The remote control system may be used with 12 V or 24 V searchlights,
Only the lamp in the light head assembly must be changed to match the voltage rating.
SECTION 5 - URP-
102 POINT PAD™
Case Options
The URP-102 Point P
ad™ is supplied as a surface mount unit (see Figure 4). A flush
mount option is provided (see Figure 5). To switch mounting options, unscrew the six
(6) screws on the unit’s back plate and remove the front cover. Fit the Point Pad™ with
the flush mount cover, replace the back plate, and screw the unit back together.
Mounting
Both the surface mount and flush mount options require access to the backside of the
mounting location. Make sure there are no obstructions behind the area where the
switch is to be located (e.g. bulkheads, wires, plumbing, or hardware). Check in
advance that the coax cable from the master controller can be routed to this location.
Generally, the Point P
ad™ should be mounted in a protected area.
Install the surface mount Point P
ad™ by drilling three (3) holes in the dashboard
location using the Point P
ad™ surface mount template supplied. Mount the Point Pad™
to the dashboard using the gasket, washers, and nuts supplied. Use a sealant around
the bolt holes to protect from moisture intrusion.
When the flush mount option is selected, cut a rectangular hole in the dashboard
location using the point pad™ flush mount template supplied in the mounting templates.
Use the gasket, washers, nuts, and the two U-clamps provided to secure the Point
P
ad™. Use a sealant around the cut out to protect from moisture intrusion.
Connecting to the Master Controller
The Point P
ad™ communicates with the Master Controller via standard television type
RG-59 coaxial cable. The connectors are standard "F" type television connectors. The
connector on the back of the Point P
ad™ is located in the center of the panel for ease
of installation. A
fter the coax cable has been routed and the “F” connectors attached to
the coax cable, simply screw the “F” connectors to the Master Controller and the Point
P
ad™. The cable and connectors are available either through ACR Electronics, your
local Radio Shack or other sources of electronic hardware.
