Instruction Manual, 353mm (13.9”) Profile Panel Antennas

General

This instruction manual contains all necessary information required to assist in the correct

installation of ARGUS Panel Antennas of 353mm (13.9") width to a 75 – 115mm (3" - 4.5")

diameter pipe when using the mounting kit with clamp bracket. These antennas can be

supplied with either fixed beam downtilt, manually adjustable electrical downtilt or AISG-

compatible remotely controlled electrical downtilt. Mechanical downtilt is also available if

required, depending on the type of mounting kit selected.

Following symbols can be found next to text outlining important information.

Please follow the procedure marked with this symbol precisely.

Non-compliance may lead to damage of the product.

Installation Instructions – Adjustable Downtilt Mounting Kit

T-029-GL-E, T-041-GL-E, T-045-GL-E, T-095-GL-E

Assemble mounting kits as per Figure 2 and 3 of this document.

1. Attach the mounting kit assembly to the antenna, before trying to clamp

the brackets to the pole.

2. Downtilt angles in 1°increments can be obtained with the correct

adjustment of the tilt arm bracket.

•Downtilt can be achieved by aligning the corresponding hole in the

tilt arm to the pivot bracket which mates against the mounting pole, as

shown in Figure 4. The first hole is for 1°downtilt*, with each consecutive

hole resulting in an increased inclination of 1°.

(*Note for the T-045-GL-E kit the tilt is 0°then 2°- 10°in 1°steps.

For the T-095-GL-E kit the tilt starts at 0°and increments in 3°steps)

•For finer downtilt angle adjustments the distance in between the top

and bottom mounting bracket on the pole can be adjusted.

•For 0°downtilt the tilt arm may be stowed as show in Figure 4.

•An inclinometer or other angular measuring device may be used to

verify downtilt angle as required.

The clamp brackets can clamp pipe diameters between 50 mm (2") & 115mm

(4.5"). For typical installations of antennas up to 1575mm (62") long the minimum

recommended pipe diameter is 60mm (2.4"). For antennas over 1575mm (62")

long the minimum recommended pipe diameter is 75mm (3").

Do not install near power lines. Power lines,

telephone lines, and guy wires look the same.

Assume any wire or line can electrocute you.

Do not install on a wet or windy day or

when lightning or thunder is in the area.

Do not use metal ladder.

Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels.

Wear protective clothing including a

long-sleeved shirt and rubber gloves.

Downtilt

Antennas

The beam downtilt below the horizon is adjusted by rotating the hex

socket located at the bottom of the antenna - Figure 5). Turning the hex

socket in a clockwise direction increases the beam downtilt below the

horizon. Turning the hex socket in an anti-clockwise direction decreases

the beam downtilt below the horizon. Beam downtilt setting in degrees

below boresight can be read off the scale at the base of the antenna.

The downtilt setting is read from the face of the antenna bottom end cap

at the point where the scale protrudes.

AISG Compliant

RET Antennas AISG Compliant antennas are compatible with AISG compliant control

unit equipment. For operation of downtilt using AISG compliant

controllers see the controller documentation. Where manual override of

RET control is provided at the antenna bottom end cap, operation is

identical to that described above for MET antennas.

WARNING: During downtilt adjustment ensure the hex socket is not

turned past the minimum and maximum positions as shown on the

downtilt indicator scale. Forcing the hex adjustment beyond this point

may lead to damage of the downtilt mechanism. Using power drills

and electric screwdrivers to adjust downtilt may also lead to

damage of the downtilt mechanism.

OPTIONAL: THE TILT ARM AND EXTRA HARDWARE

Port and Band

Identification

Each RF and/or AISG port on the antenna is numbered and identified in

accordance with AISG Standard “AISG Antenna Port Color Coding”.

Each RF band in the antenna corresponds with a pair of ±45° polarized

RF ports (an array), with the band numbers rising in step with the port

numbers, ie Band 1 corresponds with Ports 1 & 2, Band 2 corresponds

with Ports 3 & 4 etc.

Ports are numbered starting with RF low frequency band(s) first,

followed by higher frequency bands. For bands operating at the same

RF frequency, ports associated with arrays at the bottom of the antenna

are numbered before ports associated with arrays at the top.

For remote tilt antennas, depending on the configuration of AISG

employed, the antenna will report the bands differently to the primary

controller as follows:

SRET: For either AISG1.1 or 2.0, a multiband antenna configured as

cascaded SRET will report to the primary controller as multiple

antennas, each with a single band. Each band of the antenna will report

a different serial number. For example, a tri band antenna with serial

number 60051007 will report to the controller three individual antennas

with serial numbers 600510071, 600510072, 600510073, where the last

digit represents the band of the antenna.

MRET: When using AISG2.0, a multiband antenna will report to the

primary controller as a single antenna with multiple bands. Each band of

the antenna is accessible through the controller.

Connection

RF Cable

Connection

The AISG connector fitted to the antenna is designed to accept any

AISG compliant cable assembly. After ensuring both connectors are dry,

push in the mating connector, then tighten the screw lock to between 0.7

and 1.1 Nm (0.5 -0.8 ft.lb). If needed or required by local procedures

apply mastic (or similar waterproofing) to the mating connectors.

Tighten the AISG mating connector by hand only. Do not apply any more

rotational force to the AISG mating connector than needed to properly

mate the seal and do not exceed 1.1 Nm. Using excessive torque may

damage the AISG connection in the antenna.

The 7-16 female connectors fitted to the antenna are designed to fit

jumper cables with a standard 7-16 RF male connector. After ensuring

both mating connectors are dry push the male connector in and tighten

the connector coupling to 23 - 28Nm (17 -21 ft.lb).

If needed or as required by local procedures a weatherproofing kit may

then be fitted to the connection.

If the RF connectors are tightened beyond the recommend torque the

RF connection to the antenna may be damaged.
