EAGLE has 7 12V power put ports including:
-
1, 2, 3 and 4
power out ports have 12V voltage. Ports 1 and 2 have a 3-amp protection fuse while 3 and 4 ports have 8-
amp protection fuse and are therefore indicated for connecting high-power consumption devices (such as cooled CCD ca-
meras). 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 the devices to the wrong ports.
-
5, 6 and 7
power out ports have adjustable tension from 0 to 12V. They are therefore perfect for connecting dew hea-
ters (without the need for external controllers) or flat field generators.
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 stabilized battery to the IN power port of the EAGLE
All devices will be powered on. You can turn on the EAGLE, activate the remote control and use the telescope. When you
want to close the telescope, if you want to disconnect the cables, follow this procedure :
1)
FIRST
turn off the EAGLE by pressing the power on/off button (
7
) and wait until the LEDs are turned 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 NEEDS MORE POWER THAN THE PERMITTED ONE FROM THE
POWER OUT PORTS OF THE EAGLE : the power board has dedicated internal fuses. If your device requires
more current than the one distributed by EAGLE, fuse blocks the port (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 in a while.
