Note: Thecontrol cable has 12 wires that control motors, provides GPS information and sensor feedback. If a control cable connector is miss wired it can cause damage to GPS or sensors. This can result in component failure and cause many hours of unnecessary troubleshooting time which costs everyone time and money. A double check of all wiring before powering up will result in a smoother installation. REMEMBER 90% of all problems are a result of incorrect CONNECTIVITY or CONFIGURATION. Mount Installation Warning Your Eagle mount utilizes a GPS system for acquisition. Calculations for skew and elevation are based on a level surface (+or- 3 Degrees, Right, Left, Forward and Back). Failure to level the mount to these specifications during installation can equate to poor performance. To determine if your mount is in compliance to this criteria, you can use the following formula. Tools required... 1. A level 2. A tape measure Formula = + or - 3 degrees is approximately 5/8" for every 12" from center of mount. Represents mount base Shim if required How to measure.... using a level, lay it onto the base of the mount. Bring the bubble of the level to center and at 12" from the center of the mount measure the distance from the bottom of the level to the roof top. If the distance 12" out from center of the mount is less than 5/8" then you are within tolerance. How to adjust the mount.... if leveling of the mount is required, use flat washers to "shim" the low side of the mount to bring it into tolerance. It does not have to be exact, just shim to bring the mount into specs. It may be necessary to lengthen the screws to accommodate a larger adjustment.. 4 The Eagle Manual M ount definitions A system consists of several components MOUNT (ODU) Reflector/Parabola Stow Brackets Note: Your LNB may vary from the one pictured depending upon your system configuration.

LCD Display Displays the actions of the system. USB Programming Port Used for upgrading firmware. POWER Will turn controller ON and OFF. Navigates through the Menu options. LED REC indicates the receiver coax is attached to the controller. VDC indicates power is being supplied to the controller. 6 The Eagle Manual REAR VIEW Definitions and Usage CONTROLLER (IDU) To REC To LNB CONNECTIONS POWER 12 VDC 7 amp (power supply provided). CONTROL CABLE CONNECTION: Termination of the 12 wires of the control cable to the controller takes place here. TO SATELLITE RECEIVER This is a coax pass-through connection to your satellite receiver (Satellite IN). It is optional except for DirecTV SWM. TO ODU LNB: This is a coax connection to the Antenna's LNB. The connection is made at the base of the mount to any one of 4 coax cables that run through the mount and are secured to the LNB. If you have DirecTV SWM, then the cable attached to the DiSEqC switch must be routed directly to the controller uninterrupted then to the connection marked "TO LNB". (see configuration to determine which coax at the base of the mount goes to the controller). Label on the bottom of the controller 7 The Eagle Manual C onfigurations and Software Version Version Each of the Program Providers will require different software EAGLE -1 EAGLE -2 EAGLE -3 EAGLE -4 SHAW Direct = DirecTV SWM = Dish Network = Bell Express = 107.3, 107.3, 111.1 Satellites 99, 101, 103 Satellites 110, 119, 129 Satellites 81, 92 Satellites (For Canadian Use Only) (For Canadian Use Only) TO CONFIGURE Configuration of your system is done through software. There is a specific version of software for each Program Provider. • • • Go to www.rfmogul.com to download (to your USB Flash Drive) the appropriate software for your program provider. Place the USB flash drive into the USB Program Port on the front of the controller and turn the power ON. The controller will display downloading status and transfer the Program Provider file into memory. This process will take approximately 8-10 seconds. SOFTWARE VERSION UPGRADES Why should you think about downloading new software or changing configurations? 1. To take advantage of new innovative features offered by the latest revision of software. 2. If you have called your installer and he/she has recommended it. 3. If you read the History of the new software and you determine that you could benefit from its features. 8 The Eagle Manual M enu Options Menus and Operation Your controller is menu driven.
