EAGLE has 7 12V power out ports including:
-
1, 2, 3 and 4
power out ports have 12V voltage. Ports 1 and 2 distribute up to 3A each while ports 3 and 4 distri-
bute up to 8A and are therefore indicated for connecting high-power consumption devices (such as cooled came-
ras). In order to avoid confusing the connection ports, ports 1 and 2 (3A) have a different connector than the others.
This makes it impossible to connect devices to the wrong ports.
-
5, 6 and 7
power out ports have adjustable voltage from 3 to 12V. They are therefore perfect for connecting dew
heaters (without the need for external controllers).
To properly power all the instruments connected to the EAGLE :
1)
FIRST
connect the optional EAGLE-compatible power cables to OUT power ports of the Eagle and then to the
power socket of your instrument
2)
AFTER
connect the power supply or stabilised battery to the IN power port of the EAGLE
You can turn on the EAGLE, activate the power OUT ports and use the telescope. When you want to close the te-
lescope and disconnect power cables, please follow this procedure :
1)
FIRST
turn off the EAGLE by pressing the power on/off button (
7
) and wait until the SSD and ON LEDs are off
2)
THEN
unplug the power cord from the “12V power input" (
1
) of the EAGLE
3)
FINALLY
disconnect the power cables from the " 4 12V power OUT" ports (
10
) of the EAGLE

WHAT IF I CONNECT A DEVICE THAT HAS A HIGHER POWER CONSUMPTION THAN THE ONE ALLOWED
ONE FROM THE POWER OUT PORTS OF THE EAGLE : the power board has a dedicated chip that protects
the electronics. If your device requires more current than the one distributed by EAGLE, this chip disconnects
power (this is a protection system to avoid power surges that could damage the connected instrument).
In this case, please remove the cable connected to the power OUT port of the EAGLE. Power out port will
be automatically re-activated when the problem is fixed.
