Electronic limits

N

Your motor has got mechanical limits that preclude from moving too 

far east or west (m/- 75 degrees roughly). These mechani-

cal limits are not adjustable. If ever you put the motor in a location 

where there is a risk for the dish to hit an obstacle, then you must 

set electronic limit. See the user manual of your satellite receiver for 

such settings.
