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

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 FlexRET
or RCU device. Subject to alteration.

 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 design 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
