CTXD-60-H

The CTXD-60-H handheld RET controller provides convenient and portable RET operation of Argus AISG-enabled antennas. This simple, lightweight device has been designed to be easy to use for site installation and maintenance personnel. Features such as battery operation, small size and a safety ring for clipping onto a harness allow the CTXD-60-H to be carried anywhere, even to the top of a tower. The device allows push-button RET control of multiple antennas that are connected via AISG-compliant cables. Connected antennas can also be scanned to establish serial number and manufacturer, before bean tilt interrogation or adjustment. Using a PC running Argus PCUW software connected via USB cable to the CTXD-60-H USB interface, site RET configuration and software uploading are supported. RET configuration and control of single band or multiband antennas is possible. Additionally, either AISG1.1 or 3GPP/AISG2.0 protocol is selectable by the operator. The unit can also report the current hardware and software version of the connected RET antenna. The CTXD-60-H is short-circuit and ESD protected at the AISG port, and has low battery change LED indicator. Under normal load conditions driving one RET device at a time, it will give up to 4.5 hours of continuous use. In addition to the handheld controller unit, the complete kit contains a carry case, 2m AISG cable, USB cable, battery charger with 2-pin AC power cable and CD containing RET software and manuals.
