Operation as Standalone Positioner

Setting the software high/low limits:

There are hardware limit switches in the actuators or H-H mounts to prevent the

mechanism from being damaged by obstacles. We still recommend that you set the

software limits for backup protection, although you can use the positioner without

setting the limits.

1. Move the actuator by pressing the

buttons on the remote to the positions you

intend to set as lower/higher (or East/ West) limits.

you move the dish to a lower position with the

button, the Low Limit will be set.

2. To set the low/high (or East/West limit), press the Limit key for 2 seconds. The

display will flash LIMITL. Press the Limit button again to switch the display to LIMITH.

3. Press the OK button after the right limit display (LIMITL or LIMITH) appears. When

the set up is successful, the display will show "|-- -- -- -- -- --" (High Limit) or "-- -- -- -- --

--| "(Low Limit) to confirm the setting.

After you have programmed the travel limits and the actuator or the H-H mount moves

to its higher or lower limit, it will stop moving and the display will show "|-- -- -- -- -- --" or

"-- -- -- -- -- --|".

Caution: Wrong limit settings, such as reversing HL and LL, may block the actuator or

H-H mount. If this situation occurs, conduct the "Clear Limit" operation then re-set the

correct limits again.

Clearing the software high/low limits:

Press the Limit key on the remote for 10 seconds. The display will show 10, 9 ... 1, |--

-- -- -- -- --| then the limits setting will be cleared.
