Note to CATV System Installer:
Thisreminder is providedto call the CATVsystem installer's

attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelinesfor proper grounding and, in particular, specifies

that the cable groundshall be connected to the grounding

It an outside antenna or cable system is connected to provide some pro-
tection the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some pro*

teetion against built up static charges and voltage surges• Section 810 of

the Netional Eleetional Code ANSt/NEPA NO 70.1984, provides information

with respect to proper groundingof the mast and suPPOrtingstructure,groun-

dangof the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit size of grounding con-

ductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode:

See figure 1 for items a-d below
a. Use NO 10 AWG (5.3mm 2)aluminum NO.8 AWG (8.4mm 2)NO.17-AWG

(10ram2)copper-etad eteel or bronze wire, or larger, as ground wire

b. Secure antenna tead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off in-

sulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart•

unused for _dng periods of time, ur_plug it from the
