When the Antenna Auto Calibration option is installed, a turn
from any position to 000 degrees will cause the controller to
adjust if necessary the azimuth and elevation to 000/000
degrees.
A fail safe is built into the software that will cause the Rotor
Controller to reset, subsequently causing the Hand Controller
to reset if the Min or Max turn count goes 5 degrees beyond
540 degrees from home position. Thus keeping excessive cable
wrap from happening.

Limitations
The 12PRSAT Az/El Rotor unit is not designed for permanent outside
installation. The system is designed to be used for portable
operations with antennas like what is sold by companies Arrow and
Elk Antennas. Non-portable antennas like those offered by M2 can
also be used as long as the maximum weight limitation is not
reached. Exceeding the specified maximum antenna weight may
damage the Rotor Unit and will void all expressed or implied
warranties. Using oversized antennas will cause tracking failures. It
is not designed to withstand long term harsh and extremely wet
winter conditions or extreme hot conditions.
Don’t:
Install antennas heavier than 8 pounds
Operate with off-center loading; make sure the antenna is balanced
at the rotor mounting points. Excessive off-center loads may cause
Elevation tracking errors
Leave Rotor in extreme wet environments for extended times or in
high wind conditions
Manually force the movement of the antenna system, you will
damage the mechanical system
