First use: power other instruments connecting to the EAGLE
EAGLE incorporates a power bridge to which you can connect up to 4 instruments such as mount, CCD camera, filter
wheel and electronic focuser. Through a special internal board, EAGLE
distributes
12V power to 4 ports that connect the
various devices using the special optional cables. All doors are equipped with power socket security screw to prevent the
cable from unwanted disconnections or reverse polarity. 3 power outputs have 3 amps fuse protection each and 1 port
has 5 amps protection fuse and is especially designed for connection to the cooled CCD cameras (which often have a high
power consumption).

CAUTION
: EAGLE distribute power only at 12V. If the instrument you want to use requires a different voltage, do
NOT
connect it to the power ports of EAGLE.
CAUTION
: the power output from the OUT port of Eagle depend on power supply or battery connected to the
IN power port of the EAGLE.
Since several instruments for astronomy strictly require a fixed 12V power,
you have to check that your power source provides a stable 12V voltage.
So if you want power EAGLE with
a battery, make sure that this is equipped with a specific 12V voltage regulator.
DO NOT CONNECT TO THE
EAGLE A BATTERY WITHOUT 12V VOLTAGE REGULATOR
since it may damage the other instruments powe-
red by Eagle ( like the CCD camera).
