INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Create the holes necessary to secure the mounting plate (Fig. C).

In addition to the screwed connection, the mounting plate and roof gland must be bonded to the roof with adhesive and sealed. This is done using the Sikaflex® 291 adhesive sealant supplied, which is ideally suited for this purpose due to its broad range of adhesion.

Before starting to use Sikaflex® 291 adhesive sealant, be sure to read the Sikaflex® Products safety data sheet and technical data sheet in this installation manual!

The prerequisite for good adhesive properties is a clean, dry and grease-free substrate. You should therefore clean the roof surface with a suitable cleaning agent within a circumference of 17 cm around the drilled hole and allow the surface to dry thoroughly.

If the surface is painted, ensure that the paint finish is sufficiently well bonded to the substrate.

If the coat of paint is already loose or peeling, it must be removed down to a stable layer in the area to which the adhesive will bond. If you have any doubts concerning the adhesive characteristics, consult a paint and lacquer specialist, or the manufacturer of your vehicle.

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for you to improve the adhesive characteristics of the roof surface by pre-treatment with a cleaning agent available from specialist dealers (e.g. Sika® Cleaner) or a primer (e.g. Sika® Primer).

The procedure for gluing the mounting plate is as follows:

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.
