3.4.3.4 Electronic Limit Stops

We recommend that all limit stops, home positions be set using the GUI.
Electronic limit stops can be assigned to restrict travel about the pan or tilt axes in either
direction. Ensure payload and positioner is clear from obstructions throughout its
entire travel. The positioner does not have mechanical hard stops. The positioner comes
from the factory with electronic limit stops set to the maximum recommended pan and tilt
(see below).
The factory electronic limits are set as follows:

Pan limit stops are set to 360° of rotation (±180°)

Tilt limit stops are set to
o Over the Top Mount Accupoint Positioner: +90° / -45°
o Side Mount Accupoint Positioner: 180° (±90°)
o Antenna Mount Accupoint Positioner: Refer to specific Antenna Mount
Documentation
IMPORTANT!
If the tilt limit stops are cleared, it is possible to drive the payload platform
into the power/data connector. This will cause damage to the positioner.
