POWER LINES

Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

if an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voitage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

a.Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm®) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm®) aluminum. No.17 AWG (1.0 mm®) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire

b.Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feel (1.22-1.83 m) apart.

c.Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.

d.Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm®) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 Q).
