ASIAir, iOptron CEM26 mount and Meridian Flip

Hoping someone can advise me because iOptron Support is struggling to do so.

I configured my ASIAir app to treat meridian flip, conservatively, as follows:

Stop tracking 5 min before Meridian
Do AMF 5 min after Meridian

So far, so good.  

Wrt meridian treatment ZWO has the following warning:

To ensure ASIAIR keeps control of the automatic meridian flip sequence, ensure your mount (hand controller) does not have meridian treatment parameters set that would trigger prior to ASIAIR's automatic meridian flip completing.

The Go2Nova software associated with the iOptron CEM26 handcontroller has the following two settings associated with meridian treatment:

Set Position Limit: xx degrees passed (their typo, not mine) meridian
Set Behavior: Stop at Pos Limit or Flip at Pos Limit

My question is, what Go2Nova settings should I use for Set Position Limit and Set Behavior to satisfy the ZWO warning and the ASIAir settings I've used for meridian flip?

Thanks in advance.

My Limit is set to zero degrees.

I cannot tell the other setting by looking at the display.

My mount is the 25-EC and it works and flips perfectly under ASIair control; I’ve never seen any warnings.

HTH.
