SECTION 5 - URC-300 MASTER CONTROLLER

Mounting

The Master Controller can be mounted in any position near the searchlight that is protected from the weather. Check in advance that the coax cable from the Point Pad and the wiring harness from the searchlight can be routed to this location. Mount the Master Controller with the wires and coax facing down. Use an appropriate fastener for your mounting location. Use a sealant in fastener holes to prevent moisture intrusion.
