Eagle 4 with Mach 2 #Mach2GTO
annaski
I would like to use the new Eagle 4 with my Mach 2's thru mount cabling. I will be using all AC power, so I have the Eagle's AC power adapter.
I have Primaluce's Eagle power connector with the Anderson power pole connections, which will connect the Mach 2's output to the Eagle. However, I cannot find the appropriate adapter which would connect from the AC converter out (which would have the Eagle 'in' connection) to the Anderson power pole connections to the Mach2's input. Has anyone done this? I cannot even find on Primaluce's site the description of their power pinout. |

Caution: DO NOT USE the Mach2 power converter for any accessories - it puts out 24 volts and should never be used to power your 12 volt accessories.

Oh, of course another option is to just ask Prime Luce if they can just make the cable for you. Filippo is very nice to talk with and will likely understand this need.

No, I have (well, ordered) the Primaluce AC power adapter specifically for the Eagle4. It’s 12.8 V out.

They custom made one for me back when I got my Eagle 2.

Who did you contact? Primaluceusa?

No the people who sold me the Eagle. High Point Scientific I believe. They ordered it from Primaluce. I had texted Primaluce support first and that was their process.
