Please note:
If the Primary which controls the FlexRET system does not support the default ex-factory interface
setting, then the FlexRET must be switched to the appropriate standard of the Primary before installation.
Please contact Kathrein for further information.
If the FlexRET of an antenna has to be replaced, the FlexRET gets the information stored in the antenna
after power on automatically. It is not necessary to configure the FlexRET manually.

Please note:
In general, the addressing of the FlexRET is automatically performed. Only in case the FlexRET is
manually addressed, the serial number has to be extended by the corresponding colour coding
extension (e.g. CSG351234-R1). The respective information can be found on the site documentation
which is
included in the scope of supply.

FlexRET

Startup of FlexRET
The FlexRET module included in the antenna is preconfigured with the following information:
Antenna model no., Antenna Serial no., Antenna configuration data. After connecting a control
cable and scanning the antenna line devices (ALD) the used primary (e.g. NodeB, ALC, etc.)
will find the FlexRET. You only need to insert your additional data.

Connecting the control cables:

Connect a control cable to the daisy chain input of the FlexRET. The tightening torque for fixing the
connector must be 0.5 – 1.0 Nm (‘hand-tightened’).
The connector should be tightened by hand or by a special torque screw driver (order no.
85010080).
See also data sheet for Kathrein AISG-cable (86010007, ...).
Please note: To ensure the tightness of the RET System, Kathrein recommend the use of
Kathrein components only.
Please note: If the daisy chain output is not used, do not remove the protection cap.

For daisy chain operation, remove the protection cap and attach a control cable to interconnect
with the daisy chain input of the subsequent FlexRET or external RCU.
Please note: Do not remove the protection cap on the daisy chain output of the last F ­ lexRET
or RCU device.

 General Instructions
for Feeder Line Installation
for Antennas with 4.3-10 Connectors
Please note: In order not to damage the interfaces, please make sure that only the right tools are used.
Tighten the feederline connector interfaces solely by using a common torque-wrench with a suitable wrench
width.

Installation of feeder line cables: Installation of Smart Bias Tees:

Tighten the 4.3-10 cable connectors within a torque range of If directly mounted on the antenna, the weight of one Smart Bias
max. 15 Nm depending on connector manufacturers’ specifications. Tee must not exceed 440 g | 0.96 lb per antenna connector.
The recommended tightening torque of 4.3-10 connectors is It is recommended to only use Kathrein Smart Bias Tees with
5–8 Nm. 4.3-10 connector (type no. 78211590, …, -597).
For the FlexRET installation, please follow the FlexRET installation
instruction on the data sheet. Hold the Smart Bias Tee housing securely while mounting and
tightening the cables. No lateral pressure shall be applied on the
Smart Bias Tee when mounting it directly on an antenna neither
during the mounting process nor in operational mode.

 General Information
about Panel Antennas

Environmental Kathrein cellular antennas are designed to operate under the environmental ­conditions
­conditions: as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1 E.
The antennas exceed this standard with regard to the following items:
– Low temperature: –55 °C
– High temperature (dry): +60 °C
For antennas equipped with FlexRET: The electrical downtilt adjusting is designed to
operate under the environmental conditions as described in the valid data sheet of the
FlexRET.

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

Environmental Kathrein antennas fulfil the stated specifications after completion of the environmental
tests: tests as defined in ETS 300 019-2-4. The homogenous d ­ esign of Kathrein’s antenna
­families uses ­identical modules and materials.
Extensive tests have been performed on typical samples and modules. The vibration
test has been adapted relating to frequency and acceleration to the conditions of mast
mounted antennas.

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.

The mechanical design is based on the environmental conditions as ­stipulated in

ETS 300 019-1-4. Wind loads are ­calculated according to ­DIN 1055-4.
The antennas may be used at locations where the anticipated peak wind velocity or
gust wind speed lies within the maximum wind speed listed in the data sheet. We
warrant the mechanical ­
­ safety and electrical functionality under such conditions.
The wind speeds are defined in ­accordance with the DIN, EN or TIA standards. This
­warranty makes ­allowance for the partial safety factors specified in those standards.
Extraordinary ­operating conditions, such as heavy icing or exceptional d ­ ynamic stress
(e.g. strain caused by oscillating support structures), may result in the b
­ reakage of an
­antenna or even cause it to fall to the ground. These facts must be c ­ onsidered during
the site planning process.

The details given in our data sheets have to be f­ ollowed carefully when i­nstalling
the antennas and ­accessories.
Site planning and installation must be carried out by qualified and ­experienced
staff. All relevant national safety regulations must be upheld and respected.
­Incorrect site planning, faulty installation, as well as i­nterfering surroundings
on site, may lead to deviations in the ­electrical parameters compared to those
­specified in the respective data sheets.
The connectors on this product are only suitable for connecting to the ­compatible
counterpart. Please ensure that the connected cable has been ­ fitted with a
­connector of the same standard, otherwise damage may occur.

The tilt values will be set to any arbitrary value in the given tilt range. These values
Subject to alteration.

are independent from the frequency band or antenna type and can vary between
antennas and bands.
