Mounting Instructions

The coupling torque at 4.3-10 connectors is 5 - 8 Nm! The tightning torque for fixing the As a result of more stringent legal regulations and judgements regarding product liability,
936.0000138b

AISG connector must be 0.5 – 1.0 Nm (‘handtightened’).
The DTMA needs to be powered by a LPS (Limited Power Source, Class: PS2) according to
IEC/EN 62368-1. The DTMA needs to be grounded according to EN 62305-3 or equivalent
standard.
It is recommended to install the DTMA’s with the antenna connectors pointing upwards
and the BTS connectors pointing downwards.
It is recommended to mount the DTMA’s with the RET-connectors (Remote Electrical
Tilt-connectors according to AISG Standard) always pointing downwards! A downward
slanted mounting position between the vertical and horizontal plane is also allowed.
AISG Setting
The protocol of the software interface can be switched between AISG 2.0 / 3GPP and
AISG 1.1 and vice versa with a vendor specific command (depending on default setting).
If the primary station does not support the default setting, it has to be switched over
before system start-up. Please contact Kathrein for further information.
Please note
The DTMA is not designed for permanent operation under water. Test conditions for the
IP67 rating: Submerge depth 1 m, submerge time 1 hour.
we are obliged to point out certain risks that may arise when products are used under
extraordinary operating conditions.
Extraordinary operating conditions, such as heavy icing or exceptional dynamic stress
(e.g. strain caused by oscillating support structures), may result in the breakage of a
mast mounted device or even cause it to fall to the ground.
KATHREIN tower mounted amplifiers are designed to operate under the environmental
conditions as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1E and have passed environmental
tests as specified in ETS 300 019-2-4. The homogenous design of KATHREIN‘s tower
mounted amplifiers use identical modules and materials. Extensive tests have been
performed on typical samples and models.
The installation team must be properly qualified and also be familiar with the
relevantnational safety regulations.
The details given on our data sheets have to be followed carefully when installing
theantennas, filters, combiners, amplifiers and accessories.
The limits for the coupling torque of RF connectors, recommended
by the connector manufacturers must be obeyed.
Any previous datasheet issues have now become invalid.
