WARNING
Double check all electrical and coax connections from the controller to
the mount and LNB's BEFORE applying power to, or connecting the
satellite receiver to the controller.
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..

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).

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.

Updating and Maintaining Software
•
•
•
•
•
The software can be maintained by use of a USB Flash Drive.
Call RF Mogul for the software for your application. Make sure that it is placed in the "root
directory" and that no other .hex file is in that directory.
Insert your flash drive into your EAGLE RE-1 controller.
Turn power ON
Wait for the progress bar that will indicate that the software is being successfully loaded (usually
8 seconds).
Remove the flash drive and press SEARCH to implement acquisition.

takes 2 channels (one coax). A
non DVR uses one channel (one
coax). You may use any
combination of receivers until
you use up all 8 channels.
