Mechanical Downtilt adjustment (Kathrein)
Use glued/engraved
scale provided with
downtilt kit to adjust
antenna to correct
angle of tilt
Confirm always with
angle meter!
If scale doesnt exist
use angle meter to
adjust antenna to
correct angle of tilt
The antennas to be used is CS72761.11 (K742215) XPol F 17102170M 65deg 18dBi 0-10T with downtilt kit CS72191.14 DT-kit for
A, F & Euro panel and CS72196 Clamp 50-115mm for A, F &
Euro panel.
The jumper cable is a flexible low loss cable (1/2"), which is used
at the ends of the feeder. It protects the connectors from the
forces caused by the feeder cable. Antenna side jumper cable
(2A) is 1.5m and at the BTS side(2B) is 3m.

Cable positioning in cable channel
Different types of cables are positioned in different level and tightened
to cable channel with cable ties. Cable order horizontal installation from
bottom row to top row: Power, Grounding and Signal. Vertical
installation from left to right Power, Grounding and Signal.
In one row cable tie distance from each other is 400mm.
Guideline should be used also with DC cables which run in horizontal
and vertical cable channel. Cables has to be separated and tightened
with cable ties.
Cables should run straight, no cable tangle.
Transmission cables should be separated from RF, AC, DC and alarm
cables to avoid possible interference.

Install the antennas on the antenna support exactly vertical or with a specified offset.
4.
Use the data specified in the site installation documentation to set the antenna heading,
height, vertical and horizontal separation.
5.
Connect one end of the antenna jumpers to the antennas, leaving the opposite ends
open.
Note: the open ends should be protected from moisture.

Fixing the RF feeder cable clamps
TAKE CARE OF sharp edges !
