PRC200BC Marine Remote Control Installation and Operation Guide

Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Polk product. The PRC200BC marine remote control allows the convenient operation of compatible Polk marine source units. Operation includes power on/off, volume adjustment, mode selection, and basic functions of available sources such as AM/FM tuner, Weather Band, Bluetooth, USB, iPod/iPhone, and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Up to three Polk marine remote controls (PRC100BC and/or PRC200BC) can be connected to a compatible Polk marine source unit by using a remote control Y-cable (Part #: PRCYC1, sold separately). One Y-cable is required for each additional remote control (e.g.: One Y-cable for two remote controls total, two Y-cables for three remote controls total.)

Installation

Choose a smooth, flat, sturdy mounting location that has been verified safe. Also, verify there is enough room to route the connection cable to the source unit. Important: Do not choose a mounting location where the remote control can become submerged.
Carefully cut a 1.63 diameter hole in the chosen mounting surface. A mounting template is supplied on the last page.
Route the supplied 18 extension cable from remote control to source unit making sure the correct sex of plugs is in the correct direction.
Connect the extension cable to the source unit and remote control.
If a longer cable length is needed or additional remote controls are added, up to two additional 18 extension cables (Part #: PRCEC18, sold separately) can be connected for a total of 54 .
Important: Ensure that the route between the source unit and remote control does not have any sharp, abrasive edges, excessively tight bends or areas that can pinch the extension cable as this can negatively affect performance and/or cause damage to connected devices.
Insert the remote control into the hole from the front of the mounting surface, align the face to the desired position, and secure to the mounting surface using #6 stainless steel pan head screws with a minimum length of 3/4 (not included) as detailed in Figure A.
