General

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

installation of ARGUS

Panel Antennas of 296mm (11.7”) width to a 75 –115mm (3”-4.5”)

diameter pipe when using the mou

nting kit with clamp bracket. Th

ese antennas can be supplied

with either fixed

electrical beam downtilt (FET), manually adjustable electrical downtilt

(MET) or

AISG

-compatible remotely controlled electrical downtilt (RET). 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.

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.

Installation Instructions

Ensure a torque spanner is used when tightening fasteners, see the mounting kit

diagrams on the following pages for the correct torque recommendations.

Ensure antenna is installed with the connectors at the bottom.

Installation Instructions –Adjustable Downtilt Mounting Kit

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

Assemble

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

1. Attach the mounting kit assembly to the antenn

a, 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.

·D

owntilt can be achieved by aligning the corresponding hole in the tilt

arm to the pivot bracket whic

h 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 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.

Operation of Antennas

ET Antennas

The beam downtilt is factory set.

MET

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. Be

am downtilt setting

in degrees below

boresight

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

The downtilt

setting is read from th

e face of the antenna bottom end cap

at the point

where the scale protrudes.

AISG Compliant

RET

Antennas

AISG Complian

t antennas are compatible with AISG co

mpliant 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

rned 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.

Port and Band

Identification

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

accordance with AISG Standard “AIS

G Antenna Port Color Coding”.

Each

pair of ±45° polarized RF ports on the antenna (an array) is

commonly termed a “Band”. Using this terminology,

the band

ID numbers

rise

in step with the port numbers, ie Ba

nd 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 band

(s)

. 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

(Single RET or Multi RET)

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.
