296mm Profile Panel Antennas
CommScope Infrastructure Academy offers installation training
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.

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.
