For downtilt mounting use the clamps for an appropriate mast diameter together with the downtilt kit.
Wall mounting: No additional mounting kit needed.

Material: Reflector screen: Tin plated copper. Radiator: Tin plated zinc.
Flat fiberglass radome: The max. radome depth is only 71 mm. Fiber-
glass material guarantees optimum performance with regards to stability,
stiffness, UV resistance and painting. The colour of the radome is grey.
All screws and nuts: Stainless steel.
Grounding: The metal parts of the antenna including the mounting kit and the inner
conductors are DC grounded.
Environmental conditions: Kathrein cellular antennas are designed to operate under the environ-
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:
– Low temperature: –55 °C Adjustment
mechanism
– High temperature (dry): +60 °C with integrated scale
Ice protection: Due to the very sturdy antenna construction and the 254
protection of the radiating system by the radome, the antenna remains 48
operational even under icy conditions.

Environmental tests: Kathrein antennas have passed environmental tests as recommended
in ETS 300 019-2-4. The homogenous design of Kathrein’s antenna 323
families use identical modules and materials. Extensive tests have been
performed on typical samples and modules. Bottom view

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
936.2370/b

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.
