9.1 Eastern and Western limits

To avoid potential mechanical damage to the dish antenna or the LNC by any obstacles, you must first determine the maximum range of movement/rotation in both an easterly and westerly direction. If there are any obstacles within the rotating range of the antenna, such as walls or chimnies,these must definitely be considered when setting the easterly and westerly limits.

If there are no obstacles within the rotating range of the dish, then set the limits of the rotation in such a manner that the dish can move a little further than is strictly speaking required to receive signals from the most extremely positioned satellites.
