WARNING
Double check all electrical an coax connections from the controller to
the mount an LNB's BEFORE applying power to, or connecting the
satellite receiver to the controller .
Note: Thecontrol cable has 12 wires that control motors, provi es GPS information an
sensor fee back. If a control cable connector is miss wire it can cause amage to GPS or
sensors. This can result in component failure an cause many hours of unnecessary
troubleshooting time which costs everyone time an money. A ouble 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 an elevation are
base on a level surface (+or- 3 Degrees, Right, Left, Forwar an Back). Failure to level the mount
to these specifications uring installation can equate to poor performance. To etermine if your
mount is in compliance to this criteria, you can use the following formula. Tools require ...
1. A level
2. A tape measure
Formula = + or - 3 egrees is approximately 5/8" for every 12" from center of mount.
How to measure .... using a level, lay it onto the base of the mount. Bring the bubble of the level to center an at
12" from the center of the mount measure the istance from the bottom of the level to the roof top. If the istance
12" out from center of the mount is less than 5/8" then you are within tolerance.
How to a just the mount .... if leveling of the mount is require , use flat washers to "shim" the low si e of the
mount to bring it into tolerance. It oes not have to be exact, just shim to bring the mount into specs. It may be
necessary to lengthen the screws to accommo ate a larger a justment..

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 ma e at the base of the mount to
any one of 4 coax cables that run through the mount an are secure to the LNB.
If you have DirecTV SWM, then the cable attache to the DiSEqC switch must be route
directly to the controller uninterrupted then to the connection marke "TO LNB". (see configuration to
etermine which coax at the base of the mount goes to the controller).

Configuration of your system is done through software. here 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.
• he controller will display downloading status and transfer the Program Provider
file into memory. his process will take approximately 8-10 seconds.
