Operation of Antennas Fixed Downtilt Antennas
The beam downtilt is factory set.
Manual Electrically Adjustable Adjustable Downtilt Antennas
The beam downtilt below the horizon is adjusted typically in the range of 0° to 10° by rotating the hex socket located at the bottom of the antenna (see Figure 20). Turning the hex socket in a clockwise direction increases the beam downtilt below the horizon. horizon. Turning the hex socket in an anticlockwise direction decreases the beam downtilt below the horizon. Beam downtilt setting setting can be read off the scale at the base of the antenna.
AISG Compliant Adjustable Adjustable Downtilt Antennas Antennas - Fitted with wi th Remote Downtilt Adjustment
AISG Compliant antennas are compatible with AISG compliant control unit equipment, such as Argus’ CTXD-60-H portable handheld AISG controllers. For operation of downtilt using AISG compliant controllers see the controller documentation. WARNING: During downtilt downtilt adjustment ensure ensure the hex socket
is not turned past the nominated range for the antenna, typically 0° to 10°, as shown on the downtilt indicator scale. Forcing the hex adjustment beyond this point may lead to damage of the downtilt mechanism. Using power drills and electric screwdrivers to adjust downtilt may also lead to damage of the downtilt mechanism.

Figures 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 show the configuration of the positive and negative slant polarization ports for single and multi band antennas. The tilt adjuster scale and port for remote interface is also highlighted. Electrically Adjustable Downtilt Antennas – Indicator Scale
The downtilt angle in degrees below the horizon is read from the angle indicator scale. The downtilt scale is read from face of the antennas base plate at the point where the scale protrudes. As the downtilt is increased, the indicator scale protrudes further past the face, revealing further graduations of degrees.
AISG1.1: When using AISG1.1, a multiband antenna will report to the Remote Electrical AISG1.1 controller as multiple antennas, each with a single band. Each band of the antenna will report a different serial number. For Tilt example, a tri band antenna with serial number 60051007 will report to the controller three individual antennas with serial numbers 600510071, 600510072, 600510073, where the last digit represents the band of the antenna. AISG2: When using AISG2.0, a multiband antenna will report to the AISG2.0 controller as a single antenna with multiple bands. Each band of the antenna is accessible through the controller. ANTENNA BANDS: In a dual band antenna, AISG band 1 is the RF low frequency band of the antenna. In a dual-band antenna with both RF bands operating in the same frequency f requency spectrum, the antenna on the left when looking from behind the antenna is designated as AISG band 1. In a tri-band antenna, the RF low frequency f requency band is designated as AISG band 1. The RF high hi gh frequency band closest to the base of the antenna is designated as AISG band 3 (as shown in Figure 25). The RF high frequency band closest to the top of the antenna is designated as AISG band 2. Remote Electrical The AISG connector fitted to the antenna is designed to accept any AISG compliant cable assembly. After ensuring both connectors are Tilt Connection
dry, push in the mating connector, then tighten the screw lock to between 0.7 and 1.1 Nm (0.5 -0.8 ft.lb). If needed or required by local procedures apply mastic (or similar waterproofing) to the mating mati ng connectors. Tighten the AISG mating connector by hand only. Do not apply any more rotational force to the AISG mating connector than needed to properly mate the seal and do not exceed 1.1 Nm(0.8 ft.lb). Using excessive torque may damage the AISG connection in the antenna.

The 7-16 female connectors fitted to the antenna are designed to fit jumper cables with a standard 7-16 RF male connector. After ensuring both mating connectors are dry push the male connector in and tighten the connector coupling to 23 - 28Nm (17 -21 ft.lb). If needed or as required by local procedures a weatherproofing kit may then be fitted to the connection. If the RF connectors are tightened beyond the recommend torque the RF connection to the antenna may be damaged.
