Disclaimer
•The RF Mogul EAGLE RE-1 is designed to operate all MotoSAT mounts
with the exception of the round 24" single LNB reflector.
•It will operate the DirecTV, Dish Network, SHAW and Bell TV HD
systems.
•The MotoSAT mount must be mechanically sound with functional motors
and count sensors.
•The antenna must not be bent "tweaked" or damaged in anyway.
•The mount should not have excessive slop or play (wobble) as this will
directly affect the ability of the RF Mogul Eagle controller to peak the
signal for best performance.
•The LNB must be 100% functional. If a Shaw system is being used you
must have a 75E LNB for the 70cm dish and a 60E LNB for the 60cm dish.
We strongly recommend replacement of the current SHAW LNB to the new
xKu version. Changing of the receiver's channel map will have to be done
if you change from a dual LNB to a triple xKu LNB.
•If your focal point on your MotoSAT mount is not within plus or minus 1/4"
to the specifications in this document then correct that issue before trying to
operate the system.
•Check all coax connections and cable for moisture intrusion and wear.
Replace connectors and cable where necessary.
•Mount must not have excessive movement in Azimuth, Elevation or Skew
•Antenna must not be bent or "tweaked".
•The focal point of the LNB on the MotoSAT mount bust be +/- 1/4" to the
specification include in this document.
•When making connections to the 12 pin controller connector make sure they
are clean, properly installed according to the wiring diagram included in this
manual.
•Check that the proper software for your configuration has been loaded into
your controller before pressing SEARCH. If not, load the proper software
and then proceed.
•If your MotoSAT mount cannot perform to its peak capacity due to
hardware issues then EAGLE RE-1 controller will not be able to correct that
issue.
Most installation problems are related to
configuration or connectivity.

STOP !!!
YOU MUST CHECK AND CORRECT THE FOCAL POINT OF YOUR
DISH BEFORE DOING BEGINNING YOUR INSTALL. FAILURE TO DO
SO WILL CREATE PROBLEMS IN ACQUISITION!!!
(See page 13 for details)
Requirements for Installation
•Color Blind? Ask a friend or neighbor for assistance. Meet a new friend.
•Patience and attention to details will make this go smoothly. Do not rush
through this document. Analyze each step and consider the implications of
skipping or ignoring any of the steps or recommendations. The correct LNB
must be installed for the software used. Failure to do so will result in the
system not performing an automatic acquisition.
oShaw 60cm dish must use a 60E LNB
oShaw 70cm or 75cm HD dish must use a 75E LNB
•GPS must be mounted where it can best receive the signal from the GPS
satellites.
•All entry holes in the roof must be sealed properly to prevent water damage
from leaks.
•Do not splice the GPS cable. If longer lengths are required please request
them from the factory.
•If the roof is fiberglass or rubber coated (not metal) then the GPS may be
installed inside the RV. It must be unobstructed wherever it is installed.
•Do not stack electronic components because of potential heat problems.
Most receivers produce a lot of heat even when turned OFF. HEAT is a
primary cause of system failure to perform properly. Do not stack the
controller on top of the receiver.

2. 7/16 Open End Wrench
3. Pliers
4. Knife
5. Volt Ohm Meter
6. Inside assistant
Other possible item needed for install
1. SWM DirecTV 21 Volt Power Inserter for SWM applications
2. Drill for roof GPS installation
3. 100% Silicone or Dicor roof sealant
4. Threaded Reed switches

INSTALLATION
If your system is equipped with
a GPS, it is required that you bypass
your existing GPS and splitter on the
roof. A simple barrel connector will
allow you to bypass the MotoSAT GPS
and splitter. The coax cable inside the
mount must go directly to the LNB from
the controller.
The GPS/Splitter is located in
two possible locations....
1. On the roof near the GPS or
2. Under the cover located in front
of the mount as shown.
Use a threaded coax barrel connector to
bypass the GPS/Splitter if required.

Note: The GPS may work inside of a RV if
the RV has a non-metal roof. Try it inside
first.
Or install the GPS on the roof
of the RV near the cable
entrance in the roof.

Note: The WHITE wire from the existing MotoSAT control cable spliced to the
"Blue Light Adapter" will maintain the blue light on your reflector at all times.
To turn OFF the Blue Light, remove the power to the Eagle controller.
CAUTION---do not attach the white wire directly to pin #11 without the blue
light adapter. Damage to the blue light on your dish will occur.
1. The GPS cable has a YELLOW, GREEN and
SHIELD wire in the bundle. They will not be used
and can be removed.
2. Carefully cut and remove all stranded shield
3. Inspect for small wire strand shorting across pins.

damaging heat conditions for the equipment within that operating environment.
Updating and Maintaining Software
The software can be maintained by use of a USB Flash Drive.
•Go to www.rfmogul.com and download the software that best fits your
application. Make sure that it is placed in the "root directory".
•Insert your flash drive into your EAGLE RE-1 controller.
•Turn power ON
•Wait for the load status to be displayed that will indicate that the software
has been successfully loaded (usually 8 seconds).
•Remove the flash drive and press SEARCH to implement acquisition.

HOW TO MEASURE FOCAL POINT
HD SERIES MOUNTS
Most "low signal" can be attributed to
improper focal point. The following will
assist you in determining if you have
problems with your reflector or LNB arm.
If the focal point is found to be non-compliant then adjust the
focal point by applying pressure to the outer lip of the dish and
bending slightly upward. This will shorten the focal point. See
arrows below.

13
INTRODUCTION AND HOW TO MEASURE
It is important to remember that the focal point of any HD Series mount will always be
measured from a specific point. Follow these simple rules and you will be able to determine the
focal point of your dish. All of these measurements will be plus/minus ¼ inch.
Step
#1
Place the leading edge of your measuring tape over
the lip of your dish in this manner.
Place the trailing edge of your measuring tape to the
point specified by your LNB type.
Step
#2

14
Measure to front edge of the LNB Cover.
