I called a few months ago and talked to them about it, I checked all the things they mentioned. The limit switch wasn't mentioned.

>> I am having an issue with a Watsun dual axis tracker. It is a 24VDC model, run of a battery bank that is charged through an outback inverters connection to the grid. So the battery voltage is always at 24V. The tracker will run fine for a couple days then it will get stuck in the east facing direction. I can make it track by switching the control box to "Manual Control Mode" and then moving the array in any direction for a second or two and then switching it back to "Automatic Control Mode". It will then track for a couple days and get stuck in the east direction again.
