The downtilt kit can only be used in combination with the clamps
type nos. 738 546, 850 10002, 850 10003.
Wall mounting: No additional mounting kit is needed.

Material: Reflector screen: Weather-proof aluminum.

Fiberglass housing: It covers totally the internal antenna components.
The special design reduces the sealing areas to a minimum and
guarantees the best weather protection. Fiberglass material guarantees
optimum performance with regards to stability, stiffness, UV resistance
and painting. The colour of the radome is light grey.
All screws and nuts: Stainless steel.
Grounding: The metal parts of the antenna including the mounting kit are
DC grounded. The inputs 824 – 960 MHz are also DC grounded.
The inputs 1710 – 2180 MHz are coupled capacitively. Adjustment mechanism
with integrated scale
Environmental conditions: Kathrein cellular antennas are designed to operate under the environ-
58
mental conditions as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1 E.
The antennas exceed this standard with regard to the following items:

139
– Low temperature: –55 °C
52

– High temperature (dry): +60 °C

Environmental tests:
Ice protection: Due to the very sturdy antenna construction and the 262
protection of the radiating system by the radome, the antenna remains Bottom view
operational even under icy conditions.

Kathrein antennas have passed environmental tests as recommended RCU –45° +45° RCU
in ETS 300 019-2-4. The homogenous design of Kathrein’s antenna 824–960 –45° +45° 1710–2180

performed on typical samples and modules. Layout of interface

Please note: As a result of more stringent legal regulations and judgements regarding product liability, we are
obliged to point out certain risks that may arise when products are used under extraordinary operating
conditions.
Subject to alteration.

The mechanical design is based on the environmental conditions as stipulated in ETS 300 019-1-4, which
includes the static mechanical load imposed on an antenna by wind at maximum velocity.
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 an antenna or even cause it to fall to the ground.
These facts must be considered during the site planning process.

The installation team must be properly qualified and also be familiar with the relevant national safety
936.2702/a

regulations.
The details given in our data sheets have to be followed carefully when installing the antennas 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.
