SAFETY NOTICE
The installation, maintenance, or removal of an antenna requires qualified, experienced personnel.
Andrew installation instructions are written for such installation personnel. Antenna systems should be
inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of
equipment.
Andrew disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation prac-
tices.
It is recommended that transmit power be turned off when the field installation is performed. Follow all
applicable safety precautions as shown on this page.
WARRANTY NOTICE
Proper installation procedures must be followed when installing and operating RET equipment. Failure to
assure installations are done properly by trained installation personnel and to follow procedures discussed
in this bulletin may cause warranty for such products to be void.
Andrew requires pretesting actuators on the ground prior to installation, using the Andrew portable
controller and the latest version of the controller software (available online at www.commscope.com/
andrew under Products→Antennas→Teletilt
® RET System). This will verify proper actuator functionality
and also ensure that the latest available actuator firmware release is installed on the actuator. Failure to
conduct pre-test and pre-installation procedures defined by Andrew will void warranty.
Unauthorized removal of a protective shroud to replace actuators voids the Andrew warranty.
CAUTION
If using the 48V power connection on the ATC200-1000, ensure wires are properly connected.
Reversing the wires can cause permanent damage to the controller.
