Checks before commencing a journey

Kathrein CAP 600 manual Checks before commencing a journey

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES

The antenna will be lowered within 12 seconds of the ignition being switched on (if the unit is in stand-by mode or the UFS 740sw is switched off). Otherwise the control unit that is in use is lowered immediately.

Attention: Lowering the antenna can take up to 30 seconds after the ignition is switched on!

•Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position). If the antenna has collided with a ﬁxed or movable object, check that it is still securely attached.

•As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of driving, you should check that the system is still securely ﬁtted and tighten any parts that have come loose.

•The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof and the antenna lowered is 130 km/h.

•Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difﬁcult to access (protection against theft).

Safety precautions during installation

During installation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any moving parts – danger of crushing!

Always unplug the power supply during installation work.

Antenna in the park position whilst driving

The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving.

As a reminder, please attach the sticker from the supplementary sheet “Lower the CAP 600 antenna while driving” where it can easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.

Risk of accidents due to exceeding normal vehicle height by failure to lower antenna! The driver is responsible for the condition of external ﬁttings on the vehicle!

In addition the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for these devices and for the attachments and superstructures must be complied with at all times!

If stormy weather is expected, the turntable must always be moved to the park position, otherwise both the CAP 600 and the vehicle may be damaged.

CAP 600 specifications

The Kathrein CAP 600 is a cutting-edge solution designed for the modern telecommunications landscape, catering primarily to the demands of mobile network operators and service providers. This compact, high-performance active antenna system is engineered to enhance connectivity in urban environments, significantly improving network efficiency and user experience.

One of the key features of the Kathrein CAP 600 is its multi-band capability. It supports various frequency bands including LTE, 5G NR, and others, making it versatile for both current and future network deployments. This allows operators to seamlessly upgrade their services without needing to overhaul their infrastructure.

The CAP 600 is equipped with advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, which leverages multiple antennas at both transmitting and receiving ends to boost data throughput and reliability. This technology is essential for maximizing spectral efficiency, thus accommodating more users and higher data rates in dense urban areas.

In terms of design, the Kathrein CAP 600 features a compact and lightweight structure. This is crucial for installations in constrained environments where space is at a premium. The antenna's sleek aesthetics also allow it to blend into its surroundings, thereby reducing visual impact, which is often a concern in urban deployments.

The antenna incorporates intelligent software features that facilitate dynamic beamforming. This enables targeted coverage, allowing signals to be directed towards users rather than being broadcast in all directions, thus minimizing interference and optimizing network performance. Additionally, the built-in remote management capabilities allow operators to monitor and manage network performance in real-time, enhancing operational efficiency.

Regarding sustainability, the CAP 600 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The use of advanced materials and optimized hardware contributes to lower energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice for operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Overall, the Kathrein CAP 600 is a sophisticated solution that meets the high demands of modern mobile networks. With its advanced features, technologies, and commitment to sustainable operations, it represents a pivotal component for any operator looking to enhance connectivity and provide exceptional service in today’s dynamic telecommunications environment.
