Hardware connection: Step 1. Power the StarFi Adapter If the mount has an iOptron Port/PORT or a spare HBX port, use the provided 6P6C cable to connect it to the StarFi PORT. This will provide the power to the StarFi. For SmartEQ/SmartEQ Pro/Smart EQ Pro+, a DC power source (12V) with a RJ11 plug (6P4C or 6P6C) is needed to power the StarFi. The following is a 6P6C RJ11 wiring. +12V to pin 1 and GND to pin 4. Step 2. Connect the StarFi to a Mount (1) For iOptron CEM60/CEM60-EC and iOptron iEQ45/30 Pro: Use the provided 4 pin cable to directly connect the RS232 port from StarFi to RS232 port on the telescope mount.
