ANTENNA

Outdoor Antenna Grounding-if an outdoor antenna is instaIIed, foIlow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be Iocated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric Iight or power
circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN lNSTALLlNG AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTlNG SUCH POWER LINES OR ClRCUlTS AS CONTACT WlTH THEM IS ALMOST INVARlABLY FATAL
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian ElectricaI Code(ANSl/NFPA

70) in Canada provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the Iead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,size of grounding conductors, Iocation of antenna discharge unit, con­nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
