INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

•Ensure before starting adhesive work that the temperature of materials to be glued and the adhesive sealant is between +5 °C and +40 °C. Prepare all necessary fasteners and tools.

•Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.

•Remove the roof gland (Fig. A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof gland flange.

Replace the roof gland in the drilled hole and press it firmly against the roof of the vehicle.

•Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area within the circular groove (Fig. D).

This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the necessary bonding force.

Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled holes.

Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forward in the direction of travel. The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.

•Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening six screws across the diagonals.

Note: The adhesive sealant used is capable of bridging small gaps caused by the curvature of the vehicle's roof. However, you should ensure that the mounting plate is not bent by tightening the screws.

•Remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth or if necessary with Sikaflex® Remover (available from specialist dealers). Do not use cleaning agents or thinners containing solvents, as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate. Use only cleansing paste and water to clean your hands.

•Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the knurled nut supplied (Fig. A).

•Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity. Final strength is reached after approx. five days. However, it is possible to carry out further installation work with no problems, as the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.

INSTALLATION OF TURNTABLE

VARIANT WITH CABLE GLAND UNDERNEATH THE TURNTABLE

•Feed the ends of the cables with the connectors as far as possible through the cable gland into the interior of the vehicle.

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.
