Limit switches are installed to open the motor current flow,
when the mount reaches End-of-travel.
LED3X Solar Tracker Assembly

Diodes are installed across the switches contacts, so that reverse is possible,
after the month hits End-of-travel.

I used a satellite dish mover actuator unit, because it has build-in limit switches.

I had to buy a new model with 'limits', since my old unit didn't have switches.
